Fallacious
Limitations
IN
GENERAL
the
capacity
to
consume
is
unlimited.
So
is
the
work
to
be
d6ne:
A
freev
economy
must
always
put
the
burden
of
proof
on
those
who
would
set
artiiicial
limits
on
production.
Markets
of
specific
products
ma
have
visible
limits.
But
a
new
price
or
a
new
product
can
open
unsuspected
opportunities.
Often
the
number
or
length
of
jobs
appears
to
have
narrow
bounds.
But
time
and
again
men
have
lifted
their
eyes
to
wider
horizons
and
found
more
work
than
they
could
do.
Wherever
employers
or
workers
can
get
as
much,
immediate
return
for
smaller
production
there
is
a
great
temptation
to
hold
down.
But
this
is
folly
in
the
long
run.
For
a
hungry
world
is
deprived
of
goods
it
might
have.
The
total
effect
of
such,
artificial
scarcities
spells
eventual
suicide
for
r
any
economy
or
political
system.
For
in
the
end
humanity
will
demand
one
which
fills
its
needs.
Every
individual
who
combats
the
beliefs
of
limitation
and
strive
to
increase
production
helps
to
preserve
a
free
system.
INSECTS
FOREST
MENACE
EXTENT
to
which
British
Columbia's
forests
THE
are
annually
depleted
by
insects
and
fire
is
a
matter
for
concern
and
action.
By
far
the
greater
of
these
destroyers
is
insects.
They
take
an
annual
toll
of
401,000,000
board
feet
of
standing
timber.
The
annual
depletion
by
fire
is
less
than
3,000,000
board
feet.
Leaf
eating
insects
like
the
Hemlock
looper
and
the
Spruce
bud
worm
lay
waste
to
thousands
of
acres
of
forest
in
the"
Coast
areas.
Bark
beetles
destroy
huge
areas'
of
the1
Pine
species
in
the
Interior.
In
some
cases
these
ravages
extend
over-hundreds
of
miles.
Now
that
British'
Columbia's
forest
land
have
been
placed
on
a
basis
of
Sustained
Yield
Management
it
is
more
imperative
than
ever
that
steps
be
taken
to
prevent
and
adequately
combat
this
costly
depletion
of
our
forest
resources.
Considering
British
Columbia
produces
45
per
cent
of
Canada's
total
forest
cut,
this
depletion
by
pests
is
a
matter
of
national
importance.
In
this
regard
it
is
apparent
the
first
step
for
more
efficient
insect
control
in
our
forests
is
the'
establishment
of
a
Dominion
Entomological
Station
in
British
Columbia.
In
this
respect
Eastern
Canada
is
well
equipped
yet
in
spite
of
the
speedy
expansion
of
the
forest
industries
in
this
Province
the
Dominion
Government
has
not
yet
seen
fit
to
take
such'
control
and
preventative
measures:
eminiscences
By
WJ.
and
Reflections
The
naming
of
Prince
Rupert
was
no
simple
problem.
To
think
up
an
acceptable
choice
was
the
responsibility
that
attracted
interest
.all
over
Canada.
There
Jjwere
thousands
of
suggestions
Hnahy
of
,high
standard
and
not
a
-
few
impossible.
Competition
was
invited
by
the
late
Charles
M.
Hays,
this
being
away
back
around
19C7.
Prince
Rupert
was
a
soldier
and
a
rover.
Had
he
lived
today,
he
certainly
would
have
been
heard
from,
too.
First
chairman
of
the
Hudsons'
Bay
Co.
"of,
gentlemen
adventurers,"
his
life
was
full
and
active.
The
name
sounds
and
looks
well.
There
could
have
been
far
w6rse
ones
picked.
.
There
used
to
be
certain
local
sajes
who
argued
that
the
town-isite
of
Prince
Rupert
should
"have
been
kept
within
that
area
-bounded
by
Hays
Creek
and
Morse
Creek.
They
wete
not
without
support.
As1
one
faced
disappointment
after
disappointment
and
viewed
the
miles
of
stumps
and
little
else,
then
seemed
Ipgic
and
reason
to
what
was
saidThere
would
have
been
more
all
round
convenience,
lighter
taxation,
and
advantages
in
pother
ways.
Yet,
the
general
trend
of
development
today
clearly
indicates
it
is
Just
as
well
the
tcwnslte
was
cleared
In
the
way
It
was.
All
signs
point
to
the
building
of
a
substantial
city
and
not
a
small
town:
So
far
as
that
goes.
Prince'
Rupert
ts
still
in
the
latter
classification
but
it
is
certain
such
a
"small
town"
is
on
the
way
out
t
award
more
spacious
days.
The
Premier
Hotel
was
dis
mantled
as
far
back'
as
a
gen
eratlon
ago.
Lionel
Crippeh
was
f,
-pne
of
the
many
who
breakfasted
there
and
blasting
was
not
un
common
around
the
bacon
and
-eggs-hour.
Rocks
smashed
a
din
lng
room
window
and
a
fragment
fell
among
the
dishes
on
Cripp's
table.
Said
he,
casual
like:
"I
asked
for
bread
and
ye
gave
me
a
stone."
A
little
slow
music,
Professor!
This
is

about
rain,
and
Prince
Rupert
Isn't
even
mentioned.
The
humiliation

it.
It
appears
that
the
Port

Chamber
of
Commerce
will
sue
John
Gunther
and
Harper
Brothers
for
a
statement
In
Gunthers'
new
book
"Inside
the
VSA."
The
statement
is
that
"Port
Angeles,
Washington,
has
the
heaviest
rainfall
in
the
United
States-441
inches
per
year.
As
a
