Per Month Per Year By Mall, per month Per Year PROTEST PRICES CONTROL POLICY L.P.P. to Take Up Mailer With City Council Sharp Issue was taken with the government's price control policy at a meeting at the weekend of the Prince Rupert Labor-Progressive Council. . The delegates, meeting under the chairmanship of Mra. J. R. Blakey, recalled representations made in February to Minister of Finance J. Haley in which- the . iP.V. had opined that a continuation of the policy of relaxing price ceilings would lead to Inflation. The only reply was from Mr, Ilsley's secretary which 6tated that the -views expressed had been noted. It was felt that price hoists on over 300 items in recent weeks bore out the predictions made and, Jn the words of Executive Secretary Bruce Mlckleburgh, constituted a "frontal attack on the living standards of the Canadian people as a direct result of pressure from monopoly Inter1- ' MEMBER A.B.O. .40 4.no : (Authorized as Second Class Mall, Post Office u Department, Ottawa). Prince Rupert and Alaska Urging federal action to provide better shipping service for Alaska at more reasonable rates and appealing for a removal of the grip which the port of Seattle holds on the territory of Alaska by means of which Seattle supplies and Seattle industries are unduly protected in selling the Alaska market, the Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle has just presented a special thirty-two page edition of protest against the proposed doubling of ocean freight rates. Tiie edition has been timed as a prelude to a hearing of the United States Maritime Commission on transportation problems affecting Alaska which is scheduled to open in Washington on May 22 following, a recent survey conducted by the Commission. It is being circulated among all members of United - States Congress and in other influential quarters. The possibility of taking advantage of Prince Rupert's strategically importance in relation to Alaska in order to provide more efficient transportation service for the territory is stressed strongly by the Chronicle which, among other suggestions for the easing of Alaska's transportation difficulties, makes the following which is of direct interest to Prince Rupert: "We favor also appointment of a Joint Canadian-American committee to handle peacetime problems of northwest Am- erica as the Joint defense board handled . defence matters. It could Internationalize transportation, perhaps waive cus- , toms and immigration red tape In Alaska, Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia, and co-ordinate various agricultural, mining and Industrial de-velopment matters. For Instance, if Skeena River farmers can ship us eggs - and butter' more cheaply than Seattle, why shouldn't they do so, and help develop the Skeena?" If the .United. States government cannot help to effect various changes which are proposed to provide relief for shipping and remove the territory from the shackles of Seattle interests, the Chronicle goes on to say-: "We think Alaska's answer 13 clear .to hook up with the railhead at Prince ... , Rupert to move its goods via Canadian - National Railways. Repeal of the Jones Act might be Justified; if Canada opens "the.'Akan "Highway to US. travel, we Certainly could open our waterways to " Canadian ships for freight and passenger use." The editor of the. Prince Rupert Daily News was invited to make a feature contribution to the special edition of the Chronicle dealing with the relation of this port to Alaska and this is what he wrote for full page presentation: "When war In the Pacific after the attack on Pearl Harbor brought direct threat of Invasion of the American mainland by way of Alaska, the United States was quick to implement the strategic importance of the port of Prince Rupert In relation to Alaska and to use It as a vital transportation stepping stone, first In effecting its defenses and later in carrying the war to the enemy. "Now that war is over and development and rehabilitation of northwest America in relation to the opening up of vast resources of the northland are an important factor in the immediate future of the Pacific arena. Prince Rupert, so ( well equipped as a transcontinental Tall-way terminal and fully developed port with all the necessary facilities for handling huge tonnages of traffic, looks northward to Alaska as a neighbor which it is both ready and anxious to serve. "A scant 100 miles removed, Prince Rupert has for many years drawn In a limited way upon Alaska's first port of Ketchikan for fish and other commodities destined to the United States by the most rapid means of transit possible. "The Canadian National Railway line, running eastward from Prince Rupert, has proven of Invaluable service in this regard to southeastern Alaska. The natural flow of the Alaska traffic by this route has been greatly hampered, however, by measures expressly designated to divert It to Seattle and over the American railway lines, namely the Jones Act. "Notwithstanding 'all this, however, Prince Rupert looks forward to the day when such restrictions will be permanently removed and" Alaska and Prince Rupert will be able to enjoy the interchange of relationships, facilities for which have existed so long and which were more perfected during the emergency of war when It became essential that they should be taken full advantage of. "Even now Prince Rupert Is engaged in a campaign for a government-subsidized ocean steamship service which would fit In nicely with movement through the port of Alaskan canned salmon which, before the war, sold freely ' in the United Kingdom. "Qiven direct service to the United Kingdom with the same rates as those quoted from Vancouver and Seattle, vessels from Prince Rupert, It is anticipated, would attract a substantial part of the pack of Southeastern Alaska. In addi-Uon to the canned salmon trade, there could also be developed the movement of Alaskan frozen fish by the use of refrigerated vessels. "In addition to seeking the cooperation of Southeastern Alaska interests to assist Its development by requesting them to work for the abolition of the offensive Jones bill, Prince Rupert recently launched another movi which might further Improve Its claim to draw Alaskan traffic. "That Is presentation of Its claim to be established as a free port which, If kdone, would internationalize Its port facilities and eliminate much of the formality otherwise Involved in the movement of traffic, even In bond. That application for establishment as a free port is now being considered- "Prince Rupert has also been making representations for over a year with a view to further encouraging tourist traffic to Alaska through the port by the establishment of an automobile ferry service between the terminus at Prince Rupert -of the war-built transcontinental . highway and the Haines cut-off to the Alaska Highway a service which would have such points as Ketchikan, Petersburg, Wrangell and Juneau as way ports. "Possibly no more tangible expression of interest in the relationship of Prince Rupert and Southeastern Alaska and the possibility of development of business and traffic between them could have been manifested than the gesture of a little more than a year ago when the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce sent a goodwill mission of several of Its younger and more active members on a personal expedition to Ketchikan, Juneau, Wrangell, Haines, Petersburg and Skag-way. "The contacts and discussion of that mission Inspired these Prince Rupert men to a concrete realization of the possibilities that .existed for Prince Rupert in relationship to Southeastern Alaska. "Alaska, in its campaign against proposed freight rate increases, may be disposed to sympathetically consider the alternative and permanent possibilities which Prince Rupert has to offer." .V.VA'WWW.'.V.VW TODAY'S STOCKS Courtesy S.

Whifflets From The Waterfront The Bendlx equipment, Installed at the Prince Rupert Dry Dock, was tested out trial run made by .the .seiner Zenardi on Thursday afternoon. When the exterior "blister" housing the super-sonic impulse transducer was bolted to the bottom of the hull the vessel made its test runs. Soundings as deep as 40 fathoms .were recorded on the Jagged harbor bottom as well 4s some minor schools of fish. Chart of the harbor bottom was actually burned on a moving recording sheet by a metal stylus. Prin ciple of the to H. A. Bautzman of Montreal, who was In charge of Installing the machine, is that Jt sends a super-sonic beam to the ocean floor which echoes back and is translated Into an electric impulse wiiich passes throu'gh the fine wire stylus. The electrified stylus burns an electrically sensitized coating on the recording return governs the position of the marks on the - recording sheet. The new device take much of the guesswork out of fish location, with an occupa tion that even experienced fishermen has heretofore been largely a matter of trial and error. Knowing the type of ocean floor and being certain of the presence of fish, a fisherman is in a better position than one who does not have such Information. the Princess Louise has taken over the Princess Norah's run while the latter Is undergoing annual repair. Both vessels will be In the Alaska service next month. T. W.
