CAPTURED AMERICAN PLAN Peace River Paper is Again Out Favoring Province for North Urges People to Develop Backbone Instead of Wishbone and Demand Right to Develop Own Resources In its New Year editorial, The Peace River Record sends out a clarion call to the people of Northern Alberta and Northern British Columbia to demand the right to form a new province with Prince Rupert and Stewart as its nnrt.s. It rlrnws nttpntinn to trip mnnnpr in whlVh trip nnrth ! .111 country nas oeen treated Dy ootn provinces anu urges local autonomy. The editorial says U. part : To the Peace River cou -try th' passing of 1931 has merely marker another year of delayed promises another year of inaction In brl"g Ing to this country .the development it requires to reach Its full fruition the development that has been promised time and again. As periods oi diiiicuity bring u. to clearer methods of thlnkln perhaps the continued Inactivity Of our governments In the matter of Peace River development may j northurUry the' n eaio! but J1 lng our own thinking, and our own acting. Instead of hoping and wishing for the building of a coast outlet, perhaps after a while we will learn to remove the wishbone from the place where we should have a backbone, claim the right to work out our own problems, se cure our own autonomy and proceed to develop the vast wealth of Our own country and to work out our own destiny. "The Peace River country from the 54th parallel of laUtude northward, together with Its sister territory, the portion of British Co lumbia Immediately to the west contains such a vast storehouse of wealth In resources as Is to be found In no single province of Canada. Through its main waterway, the Peace River, It has an artery for the opening up of the still jreater wealth of the North West Territories, the development of which should be carried on from Peace . River, and the products of whlcn should flrd their way out through Peace River and the ports of Prince Rupert and Stewart. Provinces rail 'The provinces of British Columbia and Alberta have failed in their responsibilities as administrators of this vast area, and have demonstrated their Inability1 to properly administer the vast territory which was taken from Rupert' Land and the North Wer Territories and added to their ar-eas when they were given their 'autonomy. As an experiment In ln-' creasing the scope of provincial Tovernment, the enlarging of provincial boundaries has been anything but successful. This being the case, and the dominion government having also fall?d l i Its responsibilities. It is but reasonable to suggest that the time has arrived when It Is fit and proper that the experiment launched In 1905 be abandoned, and that thf boundaries of the province of Al-berta'boTeduccd to their oldJlmlU returning that portion formerly jbeloMngto Rupert's Land andl North West Territories to Us original state. This area, or a corresponding area to set apart the Peace River country, together with the similar area In British Columbia, has Its own problems of development that can best be worked out by Its own people.
