Consequently those places which do not offer ready access because of parked taxis are at a dis- advantage which is not of their own making. While the street traffie and parking bylaw restricts taxi zones to a single car, there appears to be nothing in it to prevent transient cabs from occupying, for the allowable time, spaces that would otherwise be avail- able to non-commercial cars. It is appreciated that the motives behind the in- troduction of half-hour parking on Third Avenue is to keep traffic moving so that more room will be ayailable for more shoppers. This is a desirable oBjective and, on the face of it, the plan should wark. It will not, however, solve the problem presented by parked taxis. Since mest eabs are radio-equipped, it should not create difficulties if they were located on less busy streets and received their calls through taxis stationed in authorized zones. In raising this point we also express sympathy with those authorities whe are doing their best to provide Prince Rupert with a workable traffie and parking scheme, It is a problem which besets all cities, large or small, and the answer ean be found only through experiment. We are sure that drivers will bear with our offi- ¢ials as they go through their trials in search of this answer. Canada Must Buy - TWO speeches which had not the least connection with each other, Britain’s Anthony Eden and Can- ada’s C. D. Howe made two points which showed remarkably similar trains of thought concerning their country’s mutual trade problems, Mr. Eden was talking to the Canadian Club at Ottawa, and Mr. Howe made his remarks earlier in a talk over CBC. Point No. 1 was that Canada eannot expect to do any more business with Britain unless it inereases British imports, Point No, 2 was that the only help for countries in the sterling area lies in what they can do for themselves. Both points were embellished with tactful phrasing, but both were there strong and sharp nevertheless. While they are to some extent negative conclusions, they do provide a common basis of ihderstanding which may assist discussion at the present conference in London of. Commonwealth Prime. Ministers. : As a preliminary to the first paint, both agreed that Britain is proving a good customer for Cana- dian products. ww Said Mr. Eden: “Last year we took from Can- ada $631 million worth of goods—34 per cent more than we took the year before. But we only sold $400 million worth to Canada,” ™. Said Mr. Howe: “We are in fact selling more 4n total to Britain.than we did last year and even more than in 1950.” Thus introduced, the point was driven home. ~~~ Said Mr,-Eden: “To buy more Canadian goods, ‘we must earn more from our exports to you.” Said Mr. Howe: “Canada cannot sell goods : abroad unless it'is prepared to buy goods from other icountries.” | | With the-problem so delineated, both speakers ‘sought a solution and again both agreed. : Said Mr. deny “The first solution is that the , countries of the sterling area should endeavor to : live each within its means.” 1 Said Mr, Howe: “The solution depends not on ‘the help of Canada or any outside country but, in | the main, upon what the people of the sterling area /do within their.own countries to achieve stability (and expand output.” Agreement of this kind between cabinet minis- ters of two leading countries could surely be found nowhere in the world outside the British Common- wealth and even within these confines it is an ex- er display. We look forward to the Prime isters being just as agreeable around the table at London, eo ee wee cece Sages As | See It | Elmore Pi h i fpot t May Wake Up Ottawa CONTRARY to> too-| sweeping reports So- 'eial Credit did not win) the B.C. by-elections by| such an overwhelming! margin as to encourage the plunge into an unnec-| cessary general election, True, before the by-election) | campaign, Premier Bennett spe-| | cifically promised another pro- | | vinelal election, But the Premier | is too astute to misread the facts With the Conservatives, CCF and | | Liberals all in the field and not} pulling punches in another elec- | tien next spring, say next April or May, the outcome wonid be anything but certain * ¢ THE MAIN result of the B.C. by- elections should be to wake up Ottawa te the realiation thal) the Social Credit party is a real threat to all three larger parties -— The Liberals, Conservatives and CCF alike.

There is only ene reason why they wili not go ahead right now: No one will give them a legal guarantee that such railway extension would pay for iseu., say ever a stated peried. CNR got such a guarantee be- fore beginning the Kitimat~Ter- race cut-off; got it again on the Lynn Lake textension in Mani- toba: again in the Labrador service to the iron industry. Per- haps the only body strong enough to give it to them on the Peace River project would be Her Majesty the Queen in the right of the Pre f British Co iumDia The CNR officials say that they cannot afford te put the com- vince pany into the position of taking | the risk alone. The deal would no doubt pay off—and pay off handsomely~—-but they think to day it would be a gamble.
