DD. Stothert has left no stone unturned in its comprehensive report for the first four months of 1963. Mr. Stothert and his committee of seven should be proud of their effort, ior it is work such as this that points up the importance and need of a Chamber of Commerce in any com- munity, In view of the thorough coverage displayed in this report, and the many ucts that go with it, we can envisage much to come for this north coast port, especially so if the committee IX given every consideration and co- operation they will require to see it through, In this respect it is hoped the City of Prince Rupert will heed and follow up the recommendations outlined. In this light also it is hoped co-operation will be forthcoming from the Cana- dian National Railway, whose role in the proposed development of our wa- terfront is a large one. Needless to say both the federal and provincial governments will be expected to go along with the plan as they see fit. . The committee's report is probably one of the most ambitious schemes ever to emanate from this city and certainly one of the most complete. Commendation is indeed in order to those who must have spent hours putting together the many facts and figures. This is foresight at its best. The group’s suggestion of having the City of Prince Rupert undertake an over-all plan for the development of the harbor is the most promising recommendation of the lot. By doing this, not only will tighter control be gained but there will also be brought about an authoritative body to take up any conclusive moves necessary. As the committee points out, there is much to be done on our waterfront and harbor. Many of these require- ments have been a long time coming, and this is why it is so vital that the city step in with some decisive action. The Chamber can cnly go so far in its efforts. The rest is up to the City, governments and CNR. All of the ideas proposed are worthy of thought. Permanent barge terminal facilities, expansion of the government grain elevator, parking space at Rush Brook and Fairview floats, more bulk handling facilities and the situation concerning deepsea shipping are deserving of the closest possible attention. We must face the facts, as this committee has, and look ahead to the shoring up of this port as a whole. We have alyays had, and still have, un- limited potential for the development of a great seacoast port. Surely this latest study by the Chamber committee tells us that much, WFLLAND EVENING TRIBUNE SAYS Davie Fulton invites challenging vote test Davie Fulton will tackle no soft touch in ‘id for election to the British Columbia Teelstature.

ZINK OTTAWA (TN3)—Taiking to officials of the External Af- fairs Department these days is quite an eye-opener. Not because they would let you in on any policy changes which might be in the making, but because they leave you with an unmistakable impres- sion of excitement over the change at the top. Party la- hels, as far as I could gather, have nothing to do with the atmosphere of great expecta- tions, ‘VES-MEN’ You'll hear nothing but re- spect and praise for Mr. Green’s personal qualities, bu as for his views and their effect on Canada's foreign policy ... I found nothing but profound relief that he is longer in charge. Does if mean, IT enquired, that the whole department Was an unwilling tool of Mr. Green's policies? Was there no -no one who shared his views without reservation? From the varyingly cautious answers T gathered that Mr. Green managed to surround himself with a small group of yes-men, some of whom ap- parently found in the starry- eyed disarmer an incarnation of their own) political philos- ophy. Few others may have merely sought personal ad- vancement by feigning whole- hearted agreement with their chief, This tight little clique na- furally wielded decisive influ- ence on the affairs of the de- partment, Its members, like their boss, steadfastly — re- fused all attempts by the De- fense Ministry to aequaint them with the military fund- amentals of the nuclear ape, Which any realistic forelan policy maker simply must take into aeeount, For example, repeated invi- tations to visit NORAD and SAC) headquarters were ine variably declined by Mr, Green and his lieutenants, Like the former Prime Minister, they refused to be informed on de- fense problems, probably fear- ing that a confrontation with faets they (ried to ignore the lighter side The young should have fle nenelal seeurity before they marry, necording to pood ad- wee, On the other hand, they may not wank to walt that Jong.

Their adherence to honestly held views is, no doubt, to their cre- dit, but it poses a problem to the department and to the new Secretary of State for External Affairs, “So long as the few genuine defenders of the Green line remain in their influential po- sitions,” I was tuld by a well- informed insider, ‘‘the neces- sary re-orientation of our foreign policy will be seriously hampered.” This, I found, was not an isolated view but ai widely shared concern which tends to precon- dampen the otherwise opti- _mistie mood within the De- partment, What is obviously needed, if the government contemplates any significant changes in the direction of our foreign pol- icy, is @ personnel shakeup in the foreign ministry. MUCH FATRER While it is assumed that civil servants carry out effi- ciently any policy laid down by the government, senior offi- cials may occasionally become too deeply involved in what they may regard as messianic causes. In such cases, especially when policy advisers are in- volved, it is much fairer to all concerned to find new, less sensitive assignments for them than to expect emotional and mental conversions. Such shifts in civil service personnel have nothing to do with partisan politics, but solely with the implementa- tion of State policy. They are neither witch-hunts, nor de- motions. External Affairs Minister Paul Martin should not hesi- tate to look into the matter and make whatever personnel moves in his department may hecome necessary or advisable. inet ETT 0 " WY er 4032 “AN Ah ee me A Look Back at Rupert (50 Years Ago) May 9, 1913—A most enjoy- able dance was given by Mr. and Mrs, W.
