’ {THIN a short time now we should be able to

sxpect from Ottawa an acknowledgment of
our Chamber of Commerce resolution ealling for the
establishment of a land airport at: Prinee Rupert.

Although the Prime Minister, to whom the res-
olution was presented, is without question a con-
sclentious man, he is also a busy one. It must there-
fore be expected that the resolution will move along
the customary line of attention by others for ap-
propriate handling.

There is no objection to this. On the contrary,
if the Prime Minister was obliged to labor person-
ally over every local request and issue addressed to
him, Canadians should feel alarm as he would soon
be unfit to offer any kind of leadership in the coun-
try’s affairs.

What does concern us is the direction of the line
along which the resolution is
downward below cabinet

referred, If it slopes
level or outward in the
direction of red tape and pigeon holes, we should be
prepared at once to seek another course of action
which will lead to less barren places.

This, however, suggests an unlikely contingency.
Those who spoke to the Prime Minister on the sub-
ject during his visit here were impressed with his
encouraging interest and his inference. that we

hould aim high in making our request.

Followed with too much enthusiasm, this advice
could carry us right out of the picture, but that
obviously his intention,

Nevertheicss, we must remain on the alert and
plan wisely, Although the resolution has been given,
into his hands, the responsibility for action is still
in ours, It will remain there until we have an air-
field at Prince Rupert.

Warm Reception Biggest Reward

HOSE who have arranged to bring the Alaska

Music Trai] concerts to Prince Rupert are antici-
pating a good season, and it would seem they have
every right to do so. The musicians they have ob-
tained are among the finest in the world and there
is evidence that the previous concerts have kindled
a warm interest in the series as a whole,
' This is weleome riews. Without in any way at-
tempting to speak for the artists themselves, we
cannot believe that the size of the hall or the price
he receives provides the measure by which a musi-
cian judges the success of his performance, Large
though both may be, there is nothing in either which
offers convincing proof that he was listened to and
liked. :

We believe, instead, that his most rewarding
experience is to play before a full and responsive
audience. If his listeners’ applause surges up to the
end and they are ealling for more, it hardly matters
then how much they paid or where they are. They
like him and are saying so.

No doubt the artists appearing in the concerts
here can win such reaction in whatever city they
play, but it is encouraging to know that Prince
Rupert is already looking forward to their arrival.
If the house is full, the reception is that much warm-
er and the assurance is that much greater that
they will return and bring others with them.
