Peace
River
Outlet
There
was
a
brief
little
dispatch
that
just
made
the
Daily
News
deadline
yesterday
which
was
of
utmost
importance
to
this
Pacific
Coast
port.
It
was
that
which
said
the
House
of
Commons
at
Ottawa
had
recommended
that
serious
consideration
"be
given
to
the
construction
of
a
Pacific
Coast
outlet
for
the
Peace
River
country.
The
resolution
was,
evidently,
non-Committal
but
it
brings
out
into
the
open
once
more,
now
with
Parliamentary
support
behind
the
principle;
the
whole
matter
of
a
Pacific
Coast
outlet
for
that
vast
northern
Empire
of
the
Canadian
northwest.
It
has
the
effect
of
once
again
authorizing
the
government
to
take
immediate
.steps
looking
to
the
execution
of
a
project
which
we
in
these
parts
have
long
agitated
for.
It
is
the
signal
for
us
here
in
Prince
Rupert
to"
get
veiy
busy
once
again
in
the
campaign
to
make
this
place,
beyond
question
the
most
strategically
advantageous,
the
outlet
for
the
Peace
River
country
which
Parliament,
by
its
resolution,
concedes
a
project
warranting
attention
from
a
national
standpoint.
It
is,
indeed,
a
very
important
resolution
and
of
vitally
significant
importance
to
Prince
Rupert.
Future
of
Dry
Dock
In
the
lean
days
;before
war
brought
unprecedented
shipbuilding
activity
to
the
local
dry
dock,
,we
were
protesting
at
the
;manager
of
the
yard
being
moved
away
to
Vancouver
and
the
plant's
activities
and
affairs
being
directed
.to
remote
control
.from
.there.
Now
the
transfer
of
Manager
Bernard
Allen
from
the
dry
dock
to
Vancouver
as
assistant
general
superintendent
of
Canadian'
National
Railways
for
British
Col
umbia
suggests
another
similar
situation
developing
as
the
yard,
apparently,
slips
back
again
into
the
old
state
of
inactivity.
Possibly,
as
is
being
suggested
by
some
hopeful
officials,
there
may
still
be
intention
of
building
at
least
one
of
the
Canadian
National's
new
coastal
vessels
at
the
local
plant.
We
hope
so
but,
if
this
is
the
way
they
go
about
it,
it
is
a
new
way
of
preparing.
Or
as
we
are
beginning
to
fear,
is
it
the
deliberate
intention
to
abandon
the
yard
as
far
as
any
semblance
of
permanent
use
is
concerned?
Something
to
Think
About
It
is
a
long
article
from
MiHar-vey
which
we
present
today
in
our
"What
Prince
Rupert
Needs"
series.
It
is
a
rather
blunt
one,
too.
It
says
some
things
that
might
be
a
little
distasteful
for
us
to
take.
Nevertheless,
we
consider
Mr.
Harvey's
contribution
one
of
much
interest.
The
letter
and
the
vein
around
which
it
centres
that
Prince
Rupert
people
want
other
people
to
do
things
for
them
when
they
are-loath
to
take
a
chance
themselves
is
worthy
of
consideration
of
us
all,
particularly
those
who
may
have
a
little
to
invest.
There
is,
no
doubt,
a
lot
of
truth
to
it.
But
the
argument
which
Mr.
Harvey
pursues,
however,
can
be
carried
just
so
far.
He
is
quite
right
that
Prince
Rupert
people,
who
clamor
for
development,
payrolls
and
the
like,
should
be
willing
and
anxious
to
put
in
their
own
stake.
However,
they
must
also
be
always
alive
to
the
importance
of
inducing
others
to
come
here
to
invest
and
to
assist
and
augment
the
resources
of
those
who
are
already
here.
It
is
fair,
too,
to
.concede
.that
those
who
.do
come
here
and
invest
should
receive
their
modicum
of
the
returns
in
proportion
to
the
measure
of
their
investment.
True
there
are
some
Prince
Rupert
people
who
may
have
.little
in
the
way
of
cash
,to
invest
but
their
talents
and
their
services
also
might
be
considered
an
investment
which
is
entitled
to
fair
measure
of
return.
We
may
not
agree
with
all
that
Mr.
Harvey
says
but
he
gives
usy
something
to"
thinkbou
Avhelfier
we
like
it
or
not.
Good-bye,
Alaska
Highway,
proud
legacy
of
war,
You're
forgotten,
like
the
soldiers,
what
in
hell
you
battled
for?
You
cast
one
fifty
million
bucks,
and
that's
a
lot
of
dough;
Now
the
big
shots
have
demoted
you,
you're
just
so
much
ice
and
snow.
Possibly
I
am
crazy
and
the
brass
hats
they
are
sane
So,
Alaska
Highway,
until
there's
war
again.

WHAT
Prince
Rupert
Neeci
(Rein?
one
of
a
series
of
suggestions
by
readers
of
the
Daily
News
for
the
betterment
,
of
this
city).
What
Prince
Rupert
needs
today
is
more
producers
and
fewer
talkers;
fewer
boards
of
trade
and
more'
boards
of
directors
of
local
enterprises;
more
development
and
less
exploitation',
more
local
profits
reinvested
locally
Instead
of
being
drained
..away
to
provide
payrolls
for
other
places.
After
40
years,
the
pattern
.of
Prince
Ruperc
has
become
very
plain.
So,
Just
.
examine
and
.
analyze
the
condition
of
Prince
Rupert.
Let's
take
a
look,
and
we
find
that
Prince
Ruperjt
people,
other
than
our
fishermen,
are
all
non-producers.
They
obtain
their
livelihood
by
adding
to
the
cost
of
other
people's
production
but,
produce
nothing
themselves.
Here
are
six
questions
to
ask
yourself::
fhat
do
Prince
Rupert
people
produce?
What
do
Prince
Rupert
people
create?
What
do
Prince
Rupert
people
do
to
add
to
the
wealth
of
British
Columbia
and
of
Canada?
What
have
Prince
Rupert
people
got
of
their
own
(o
sell
to
the
rest
of
Canada?
What
goods
originate
In
Prince
Rupert
to
justify
a
belter
train
service
or
to
bring
in
even
one
little
tramp
steamer?
'What
have
Prince
'Rupert
people
ever
done
to
help
themselves1
The
answer
to
all
these
questions
is
the
same
nothing!
This
is
the
disagreeable
fact
which
Prlnec
Rupert
people
refuse
to
face
or
even
admit.
But
the
fact
remains!
History
Up
until
1914,
Prince
Rupert
pecple
lived
off
the
twages
of
construction
work:
railway
construction,
dry
dock
construction,
etc.,
all
capital
expenditures
(somebody
else's
capital!).
From
1914
until
tills
.last
.war,
Prince
Rupert
people
have
lived
off
fnot
on)
fish.
They
have
lived
off
the
operating
expenses,
chiefly
wages,
paid
by
people
from
other
parts
of
Canada
In
the
fish
business.
With
the
exception
.of
the
late
John
Dybhavn's
firm
and
Jim
Bacon,
and
more
recently,
the
Fishermen's
Co-op,
Prince
Rupert's
fish
Industry
has
been
developed
by
people
from
els$-wjiere
and
to
them
have
accrued
the
profits.
But
these
art
hot
Prince
Rupert
people.
Incorporated
in
1910,
the
City
of
Prince
Rupert's
first
generation
has
largely
disappeared
and,
happened
to
be
largely
lumber.
They
.stayed,
by
.the
place
whloh
had
given
them
such
fat
profits,
and
r,e
aped
.more
profits!
In
Prince
Rupert
the
story-is
slightly
different.
The
fat
profits
of
its
merchants
are
NOT
re-invested
in
t
h
e
p
I
a
c
e
they
were
made.
Prince
Rupert
merchants,
,when
they
have
made
their
pile,
pack
up
their
swag
and
leave
for
other
places.
Vancouver
merchants
themselves
-helped
to
develop
the
natural
resources
of
their
district.
Prince
Rupert
people
leave
this
Important
function
to
people
from
other
places.
And
whejn
such
people
are
reluctant
to
do
the
very
same
thing
that
the
Prince
Rupert
people
won't
themselves
do,
these
same
Prince
Rupert
people
howl
to
High
Heaven!
But
still
produce
nothing!
Wage
Earners
Do
The
Same
This
same
phenomenon
is
to
be
observed
among
the
wage
earners.
Those
who
have
worked
in
Prince
Rupert
until
retirement
age
seldom
remain
to
pay
city
taxes
in
return
for
their
easy
livingdurlng
their
working
years.
They
sell
their
property,
if
they
have
any,
and
depart
for
other
climes.
Those
who
remain
from
choice
are
few
Indeed,
even
if
they
do
have
the
price
to
get
out.
And
this
is
not
to
be
taken
as
criticism,
but
simply
a.s
a
matter
of
record.
Just
cast
your
memory
back!
Just
look
around
for
the
retired
Prince
Rupert
people.
You
won't
see.
them,
for
they
are
mostly
paying
taxes
and
living
elsewhere.
.Makes
Payrolls
Elsewhere
Prince
Rupert's
population
has
remained
In
equilibrium
at
about
7,000
during
the
years
since
the
O.T.P.
construction
ceased
In
1914.
Employment
is
available
for
Just
so
many
people,
and
no
more.i
If
one
man
goes,
another
comes.
Prince
Rupert
people
still
produce
nothing.
No
new
Industry
has
started.
There
has
been
no
develoment
or
expansion
of
i
even
newmethods
of
prepara-
i
tlon
In
the
fish
Industry.
With
the
whole
world
crying
out
for
food,
the
fish
companies
still
decline
to
handle,
the
Immense
tonnage
of
cod
available.
Instead
af
taking
all
the
fish
the
llsher-men
catch,
they
buy
only
the
much
over
-rated
halibut
and
salmon.
In

Prince

people
Still

.enable
th
city
to
benefit
from
its
natural
increase.
Today,
Jprmer
studerij
of
Prince
Rupert's
High
School
are
scattered
all
oyer
this
continent
for
the
one
reason
that
the
City
of
Prince
Rupert
could
not
afford
them
a
livelihood
for
which
their
schooling
qualified
them.
To
provide
a
livelihood
for
Its
own
people,
every
city
requires
to
produce
something
In
expanding
quantities,
to
possess
some
industry
which
will
grow
to
take
care
of
the
natural
increase
of
its
people.
But
in
Prince
Rupert
Is
there
one
single
small
producerone
single
small
Industry
capable
of
expansion,
financed
and
operated
by
Prince
Rupert
people?
Just
name
one,
if
you
can!
So,
we
see
Jhat
Prince
Rupert
people,
apart
from
Its
fishermen,
are
NOT
producers.
They
are
sellers
of
goods
produced
elsewhere.
They
will
sell
you
any
thingat
a
price!
And
usually
at
a
price
too
hlghk
With
them,
the
celling
becomes
the
floor.
Prince
Rupert
and
Vancouver
have
the
same
terminal
freight
rates
but
the
difference
between
tne
published
prices
in
Vancouver
and
in
Prince
Rupert
is
In
structive.
But
Prince
Runcrt
people
d0
not
sell
anything
produced
in
Prince
Rupert.
They
would
rather
eat
Atlantic
finnan
haddie
than
local
black
cod.
Of
course,
the
finnan
haddie
Js
cheaper,
too.
All
they
have
to
sell
of
local
origin
is
their
indifferent
services
which
cannot
be
exported
and
which
does
not
add
to
the
wealth
of
Canada.
They
let
the
other
man
elsewhere
do
the
producing
and
make
their
profit
out
of
him.
Make
a
Stake
And
Get
Out
Forty
years
ogo,
VAncouver
was
a
sick-looking
town,
a
little
town
calling
itaelf
a
city.
Prince
Rupert's
recent
history
was
preceded
by
that
of
Vancouver.
In
both
cities
during
the
period
of
railway
construction,
the
merchants
grew
fat.
In
both
places
when
construction
ceased,
after
the
construction
men
and
the
boomers
moved
on,
business
languished.
But,
and
here
Is
the
difference,
Vancouver
merchants
re-invested
their
fat
profits
in
what
was
In
their
hands,
which
where.
They
buy
lumber
(when
they
can
get
It)
from
other
places
-ather
than
cut
It
for
themselves.
Tn
fact;
they
prefer
to
buy
everything
made
In
other
places,
for
,hey
produce
absolutely
nothing
pr
themselves.
These
same
peo-
o
are
those
.who
so
earnestly
desire
to
sse
a
blsger
and
more
diversified
payroll
In
Prince
.Ru-nert
while,
at.
the
same
time
they
ire
making
payrolls
for
some
athcr
place.
Even
In
the
fishing
industry,
Prince
Rupert
has
no
big
scho
:mers.capable
of
competing
with
'.he
Seattle
.boats
on
the
Western
banks.
These
cost
money,
but
unlike
Vancouver's
pioneer
merchants.
Prince
Rupert's
people
do
not
re-Invest
their
profits
In
that
which,
lies
to
their
hands--
n
Ihe
natural
resources
of
their
district.
The
simple
fact
Is
that
It
is
high
time
that
Prince
Rupert
people
did
something
for
themselves.
They
have
the
money.
But
of
course,
the
Idea
of
making
a
stake
and
then
getting
out
will
prevent
them
doing
anything.
Keeping
taxes
down
Is
more
important
to
them
than
making
Prince
Rupert
a
better
place
to
live
In.
Ever
since
1910,
there
has
been
a
lot
of
loose
talk
about
the
wonderful
natural
resources
of
this
northern
country.
Whatever
these
natural
resources
may
consist
of,
Prince
Rupert
people
have
made
no
use
of
them.
In
fact,
for
Prince
Rupert
people,
these
wonderful
natural
resources
don't
exLst,
unless
In
the
Imagination

newspapermen
who
are
so
good
at
repeating
tall
stories.
In
any
case,
If
they
do
exist,
Prince
Rupert
people
Ignore
them,
unless
for
boasting
about.
Let
George
Do

For
forty
years,
Prince

A
City
Under

Curse
I
Sir
George
E.
Foster,
the
Tory
chieftain,
once
had
the
courage
to
refer
to
Liberal
Prince
Rupert
as
"The
city
under
a
Curse."
At
the
time,
Sir
George
was
only
partly
right,
for
the
curse
had
been
partly
lifted
before
he
dis
covered
It.
But
today,
the
City
of
Prince
Rupert
s
as
much
under
a
curse
as
ever
it
was.
And
the
curse
of
today
is
"Absentee
Ownership."
Just
look

the
Railway
Company,

referred
at
the
meeting
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
Monday
.night
to
u
statement
which
had
been
made
in
UNRRA
quarters
that
the
problem
of
moving
food
to
a
starving
world
was
not
so
much
in
shipping
space
but
In
port
congestion.
It
seemed
to
him
that
there
must
be
something
wrong
when
the
elevator
htre
was
idle
under
such
conditions.
The
fact
that
the
plant
here
was
available
should
be
made
widely
known.
