The month of brides and religious con- ventions is fast drawing to its close—a month of “tcars" more than wnshine.

Both the police and City Council were pub- licly censured Monday. Whither are we drift- ing?

Now that the Federal election campaign excitement has blown over, how about imple- menting some of the long neglected Liberal pledges? One of the most important is harbor improvement and the provision of a marine railway slip for the repair of our car ferry steamers and other craft, right here in Char- lottetown. The pledge to irndcrtakc this work was given by Conservative speakers here with the full approval‘ of Hon. John Bracken, and immediately thereafter it was announced in the

sl plus: that the King Government was already planning to do the job. It will be re- called, too, that in the Provincial Liberal plat- form of September, 1943—rhe one 0n which the Jones Government was elcctcd——the follow- ing pledge appeared: "We will continue ta urge ir/ron the Fedora! Cozwrnmcnt flu: nrfessify of improving the Charlottetown harbour and loafer- froni, and that the drydock for which a site ha: bun surveyed be built d! once.”

Now is the time for our City Council, Boards of Trade and other organizations, under the aggressive leadership of our Prov- incial and Federal representatives, to get after the new King Government for implementation of this long-neglected project.

Some startling figures 0n World food shortages were given recently by Mr. G. R. Pat-

erson, Canada's commercial attache at the Washington Enrbassy. As .\Ir. Paterson is 8150 Canadian executive officer on the Combined Food Board, it can be taken for granted he was not making wild guesses. What he had to say throws light on the current meat and sugar shortages in Canada, and he held out little hope for any early improvement.

The meat shortage, Mr. Paterson told the meeting, was more than two and a half million tons and the sugar shortage almost the same huge amount. There are also substantial shortages of all types of oils and fats.

Mr. Paterson made it definite that Cana- dians could expect less meat in the months to come. In order to supply as much meat as pos- sible to liberated Europe the people of Canada, Britain and the United States had been allot- ted a yearly quota. This quota was 71 pounds per person which meant, in the case of Canada, s cut of 14 p0unds per capita as compared to last year.

The food situation in Europe was such that a "difficult Winter" was in prospect for most pcople there, declared Mr. Paterson.

It is a truism that urban life is abnormal. Life is, as it were, pit- ched at the city dweller in unman- ageable chunks. with which he is unable to build a wall to otect himself, or a house to live n. His emotions are stimulated into uncon- sclousness by continual sensation. His intellectual integrity is de- bauched by manipulated headlines. His entertainment is mass-produced and mass-distributed. The radio blats and blares at him all day long. The roar oi a thousand factories, the tinkle oi the adding machine and the cash register, beat remorse- lessly down on what little oi his creative soul may still survive. In sheer desperation he goes along with the crowd, hopelessly looking for a little peace in conformity, asking only not to have to think. It is a rare individual indeed who has the will or the means to sur- mount the soul -destroying pressure of urban life-Globe and Mail (Toronto).

In The Pacific

(By Klrke L. Simpson.

With the end of organized enemy resistance on Okinawa the war against Japan is entering this week on its final phase but witlL no estimate from any official quar- ter as to how long it may take to finish the job.

Too many lmponderables are in- volved for that. They include such items as Russia's future role in the war in Asia and a Chinese military resurgence that has materially altered the situation adversely for the foe in the last iew weeks. ,

Gen. George C. Marshall, United States Chief of Staff, cited both circumstances to the House oiRep- resentatives Appropriations Coun- mittee recently in saying that “s. final victory as of any given date‘ over Japan cannot be assumed. Ho said the question as to whether Russia would enter the war against Japan was "the great imponder- able of the moment.”

Imponclerablcs aside, however, with Okinawa-that pivotal Jap- anese Island in close air striking distance of both Japan and north- ern China — secure there seems warrant in regarding its fall as the conclusion oi’ preliminary phases of the battle oi Japan it- self. For possession of Okinawa means that encirclement of Jap- an's home island chain that sop- arates the Pacific from the East China Sea has been fatally Punc-

London has said farewell to the “Bun Specials,” the. canteen trains which have been carrying refreshments to subway shelters cvcry_ night for five years. To many Londoners who have lived in the Tubes for four and five vcars the closing of these shelters was a sad occasion. Once the army of men. women and children who called these underground dormitories home numbered 170,000. It had dwindled to 800. Now the last remnant has reluctantly departed. taking with them memories of wild nights when the Luftwaffe battcrcd London, when the V- bombs and rockets rained down, while life went
