For the sake of $50,000 Prince Rupert was left hanging for a while in a state of horrible doubt. For an unbelievable moment—to put it generously—it Member looked as if this port Was to be re legated indefir itely to a junior position at the end of a twisting mud track which frequently calls for more nerve than eood sense on the part of those who navigate it. This extraordinary uncertainty over parting with a comparatively meagre Sum which, to make matters worse, had already been committed by con- tract, betrays some equally extraordinary thinking in Victoria. It suggests that north, say, of North Vancouver, nothing is regarded as particularly im- portant about the coastline, excepting perhaps the occasional industry which has received some atten- tion by financial editors. Ignore Prince Rupert if it will, this kind of thinking also ignores the remarkable growth of Terrace and other points along the line, It fails en- tirely to visualize the importanee of providing good highway access to the coast for those communities in the northern interior which are expanding faster than some bureaucrat ean say “eancel the $50,000.” Living on the outermost fringe of political wis- dom in Victoria, it must be confessed that we are after all still pioneers. If we plow successfully through the treacherous mire to Terrace, maybe we should be thankful instead of indignant. The settlers who crossed the mountains in their wagons did not revile nature. Instead they went to their knees in humble gratitude, and perhaps we should do the same because it seems that nature is l we are going to get. New Deal With East Asia A‘ FORMER fisheries minister R. W. Mayhew prepares to assume his post of ambassador to Japan, there is considerable expectancy in the prov- ince over the possible revival of substantial traffic between Canada and the east coast of Asia. Having had a part in negotiating the Japanese fishing pact, Mr. Mayhew is able to approach the problem with a more or less experienced hand. His knowledge should prove useful as there are certain obstacles to any such trade revival which might pre- sent an impasse to anyone with less training. Principally there is the very natural fear of some Canadian industries that increased trade with Japan might lead to an invasion of Japanese goods to undersell the home market. Before an agreement could be reached, therefore, firm provisions would have to be made te keep this possible menace under control. In entering negotiations, Mr. Mayhew will un- doubtedly endeavor to work out a plan for the export of British Columbia lumber and other goods to Japan with a realization that there must be a two- way flow in any deal that will encourage trade be- tween the two countries. Lumber offers a likely start as Japan today is using up some of its own timber reserves rather than spending money for imports. As these reserves are severely limited, the time is probably not far off when that country will look to outside sources of supply. It is here that Mr. Mayhew could make a suitable entrance into the picture and, with his thorough knowledge of the cireumstanees affecting both sides, effect a deal that wdéuld be mutually advantageous. First to gain by renewed trans-Pacifie trade would be the ports of B.C., and the movements of Mr. Mayhew, therefore, are watched here with interest. | speech or dinner, As I See it “—~ |, cf e more ff “he >~ SS = Author Philpot Coming I AM no relation to Oliver Philpot, the famous au- thor of the escape book “Stolen Journey.” The singular feiow spells our family name with only one “T But when I heard that this author of the greatest escape story of modern times was cross ing U.S.A. on one lecture tour and beginning another a [cw days later in Saskatoon, I took ithe liberty of demanding that ihe stop off, as my guest, at his birthplace, Vancouver j Most of us now Know the story fof the three-man escape from ithe German prison camp Stalag Luft INT.

There were two trather notorious English bish- | Ops—-one Philpott who spelled | his name with two “T's,” the other with only one. The double “T” used to refer to the other as “my singular brother.” As I read it, one was about the worst die- _ hard that ever appeared on the scene. He made a famous or in- famous speech in the House of Lords warning of utter doom to Britain if they ever passed the Reform Bill of 1832 The name Philpott, or Philpot, is of course Norman French.
