Voice and Spirit
Of Britain
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
Full and emphatic, Winston
Churchill, th? upstanding leader
cf the British people, recently
cent his voice ringing to all nnrt:
of the far-flung empire a id to
the world in encouragement of
those committed to the cause of
democracy.
While admitting serious rovers
es in the immediate areas of eon
flict, and drawing attention to ,h.
dangers impending on th Egyp
tion front, in Spa.n rmd M rroco.
in the remaining urconq ter d
portions of Europe and in the
battle of the Atlantic, Churchill
revealed no break-down in the
morale of the spirit of the Briti-i
psoples.
Adroitly Churchill pictured t'
liklihood of the enemy endeavor
ing to strengthen its p viiton b}
reaching for the granaries of the
Ukraine, the oil fields if Asia
Minor. the rich possessions of
north rn Africa and the heart o
English civiiizati n m the Britis
Isles — and then attempting to
sever the life lines across t>
eeas.
Confident ^that the aggrf.--or na
tion with its present superio:
anechaniz d forces will not 1 r
hold that superiority, and con
vinced its population of bu
eighty million cannot overcon
an empire of 20.000.0 0 whi
they are aroused to an all-ou
effort, Churchill fearlessly flayer
the en mks of democracy.
If any expect to detect an elc
ment of discouragement in Brit
ain, they arc far fr m finding :
in the lion-hearted leader of th
British cause. Confident that the
British are gaining in organiza
tion of their vast resources, aid
ed with the weight of a.-sistanct
from America, Churchill made i
cl- ai that the struggle will be
intensified and that the strong
holds of democracy are rr.or
aroused than ever.
Despite the shadows a id the
darkness in the present Iheat t
of conflict, ominously declared
the spt ,iker. toe sun glows in the
West. To the analytical mind thi
meaning is ch ar Britain exp ct.
and counts on ail the world o
■democracy t-, fortify hei cuus'
an t assure her ultimate success
Ai d all s.gus indicate it's com

cated nly with the utmost diffi
culty.
For a month a little party un
der Glen Minik r went on ahead
-.out the way, covering the ■
ground by dog-sled and snow

t check on their position. They
itiaveled over snow so soft and
P v\derv that ev n their snow-!
shoes plunged two feet deep into
the drifts sometimes, but they
we t on as a guide to the follow
ing tractor train.
I: is planned to take 1,000 tons
of frieght ov r the road to Fort
Nel-t n before the spring break
up. A present, trucks are run
ning fr m Fort St. John over the
road the Sikanni River an 1
leaving freight there to be tak- n
:he rest of the way by tractor

It's a race against time, as the
ice is rot expected to hold out
much longer.
If the job isn't compl- fed in
time the freight will either have
to be transported down numer
ous rivers or carried by plane;
in small sections.
