miles from greater Berlin, but this was wholly without official confir- motion.

Germany appeared in her final hours of organinzed resistance in the west as all Allied armies cut loose. Even Propaganda Minister Goebbels declared gloomily in his weekly newspaper that the war "cannot last much longer in my

Despite previous assurances to the contrary, there is now no pros- ge oi the new car ferry steamer eing ready this year, Premier J. Walter Jones admitted in the Legislature yesterday.

He made the statement in reply to a question by Mr. Heath Strong, who read a Canadian Press des- Patch dated Ottawa, April 9, uuot- ng a statement made in the House oi Commons to the effect that the new ferry “will be in operation during the summer of 1M8."

The premier said he had been in Ottawa two weeks ago and all the information avallabe had been placed at his disposal. He had previously been assured that the electrical equipment would be rushed as speedily as possible but apparently there was still a hold- "I was informed that under no circums‘ noes would the Gen- erul Electric Company finish their work before March of next win- ter." he said. “If that is the case I would think that it could not possiblly be completed before June, 1946. don't think anything can be done to hasten it."

Hon. Dr. Mocltiillan: "When the delegation was Away some time ago| did you examine the boat?" Premier Jones: "No, we didn't go to Borell."

Dr. MacMillan: "I have been

informed recently that there is nothing done to the boat except the keel on which Senator Mc- Intyre walked. I was wondering if there was an further informa- tion on that po nt." Premier Jones: "Well, I haven't been to the yards, but I take it that the whole of the hull would be in order and that the particular de- lay would be with regard to the electric motors. when we went up last year Mr. Howe gave dpriority to have that matter cleare up. But apparently it is not going to be cleared up as quickly as we ex- peeled."
