Ve Need a Coastguard MEMBER A.B.C. ? A large proportion of the sur- s-cviyors'.oine wrecK oi trie steamer Yukon, one of the greatest ship dis-sll'.-z:?, iff many years in northern waters, owe their lives to the United States Coastguard which was on the job when needed and carried out an epic work of resourcefulness and ..;.;.heroilm with effectiveness and dis- " 1 patch in the face of greatest difficulties. The whole story of the disaster is, of course, not told as yet but it is already clear that it was a noble job which the Coastguard did in those merciless and wintry seas off the desolate and rockbound coast of western Alaska. The purpose of this comment, although it is fitting that we should do so, is not to extol the United States Coastguard but to reflect .that it would be well that the British Columbia coast, shipping off which is growing in volume and importance year after year, should be similarly equipped with a coastguard service which it is not today. The fact of the matter is that this western coast of Canada is pitifully ill-equipped to meet such a disaster as that of the ill-fated Yukon should it ever occur. .If such an emergency should arise, .frand there are places on this coast which it is quite possible, there might easily be heavy' mortal toll for mere lack of adequate rescue facilities. v And it would appear to be easier today than it has ever been for the coasts of Canada to become equipped Ayith an adequate coastguard. There are many naval ships now available .-.-i-.vhich .could with a minimum ,of change be converted into admirable coastguard vessels. And, as a result i of the ;war, there are many men al-c- '-ready-well trained for just such work as would be entailed in coastguard service. The idea of a Canadian coastguard is by no means a new one. It, .has been advocated for years. The Yukon disaster merely emphasizes the need and exemplifies what a well - " trained, organized and equipped coastguard service is capable of do-, ing in saying good human lives. It is a protective service which we can ill afford to; be longer without. . t, .

Essentially a character actor, he EASY AS 'A'-'B'-'C'-- THREE FIRSTS IN SHOE PLEASURE LWAYS rr i it A" n kit n V 11 WAYS SMART "0" PETTER QUALITY iifn portrayed historical personages with scholarly meticulousness and won probably his greatest fame in the name role of "Disraeli," a play which ran for five seasons in America beginning in 1911 and was revived 20 years later in firm form to attain world-wide distribution. Similarily, his portrayal of the Rajah of Rukh in "The Green Goddess" ran two years in the United States, a full year in London and then scored as a talkie. Two full seasons were marked up in 1928-29 for his interpretation of Shylock in "The Merchant of Yen-ice." It set an American record for Shakespearian box office receipts. Arliss's diction, in these and all the other parts which he essayed, was one of the outstanding characteristics of his artistry. An uncanny, instinct for what the stage calls "pace" marked him above most of his fellows. Arliss, born in the Bloomsbury1 section of London April 10, 1868, took to the stage in 1887. His first starring role was essayed August 18, 1908, when he appeared at the Belasco Theatre, New York, in Fritz Molnar's "The Devil." A rival producer put on the same play at another theatre that night and there was a sharp bit of theatrical war in which the Arliss production triumphed. Thereafter his name always was up in the lights. Arliss began his screen career in 1920, alternating it with continued stage successes until "talkies" appeared. Then he virtually gave .up footlight work for the Klieg lights. He filmed his big stage hits and followed with portrayals of Voltaire, the first Baron Rothschild, and an array of similar characters based chiefly on history. Our Best Citizen Someone in the House of Commons missed a chance for fame by not moving an amendment to the measure providing for the $2,000 al-ary increase for M.P.'s .and Senators. This amendment would have been to postpone the starting of the new salary rate until the freeze on sal aries had been thawed. Wage rates have gone up ; the unions saw to that. Professional people in business for themselves have done well. But it would be inflationary to permit the salaried citizen to share in the prosperity. The salaried citi-izen, in general, has been the fellow who has bought a home, .complete with mortgage. He is the chap who buys life insurance. He is the one who got no relief when the compulsory savings angle of the income tax was removed. He is the fellow who is least likely to be able to earn some extras the tax inspector won't hear about. He is the one, in fact, most likely not to try to cheat the crown oi its exactions. He does the least kicking of all in the community. Which doubtless is the reason that no M.P. of any party thought it .worth while to try to do anything dramatic for his bettermen in this great, if transient prosperity. OMFORT IN STRIDE LADIES!

' DATED at Prince Rupert. B.C.. this 8th dav of February. A.D. 1946. CORDON F, TORBE3. Acting Official Administrator, Prince Rupert, B.C. LETTERBOX . THE TOWER QUESTION Editor, Dally News: Tuesday's paper reports that the city council has committed itself to "give favorable consideration to any request by the Northern B.C. Power Co. to extend its existing franchise, providing such a request is accompanied by a guarantee to establish a pulp mill." This action will bear close examination by all citizens. Canada is suffering from the failure of our governments to carry through an effective post-war plan for jobs and prosper ity. This has allowed the giant industries of this country to embark on a sit-down strike. Big Business says in effect: "No production till employment drives down wages. No production till unions are smashed. No produc-' tlon until price ceilings are lifted. No production till business I gets tax relief. No production till ' we have enough 'inducements.' In a word, no production till we can have an prgy of 'superprofits.' " These policies would contract markets, to the point where a catastrophic depression would descend on Canada in a very short time. Prince Rupert (eels this "strike" very acutely because there is no variety ol local indus tries to absorb those laid off. That is why I have been pointing out, along with others, for some years now, that industrial development of this rich area is basic to our city's future. The keys to industrial development are cheap hydro-electric power .and .cheap, .efficient transporta tion. Your readers are well acquainted with transportation needs. I should like to briefly comment on the power question. ' The whole Industrial history of this continent for the last generation shows that industries gather where there are raw materials and cheap power. To say "cheap power" means to 'say "public power." Ontario has become Canada's leading Industrial province because the government there provides power at rates which are themselves an inducement to industry-eliminating the onerous tribute of millions yearly exacted from industrial and domestic consumers by such concerns as the B.C. Kiecinc. ( In -.wo election .campalas mU have proposed on behalf of th Labor-Progressive Party govern ment action to provide cheap power in this area as an- lndls-pensib',e stimulus to industrial THIS AND THAT o I - nrniiiLl 1 1 nrB- "Father, I'd like you to know Mr, Duffy " development. Other loc?l bodies have also spoken in favor of such action. Now, the giant concern which stands behind the Northern B.C. Power Company steps in and wields a club with which they hope to frustrate any .such plans. Capitalizing on the deep local anxiety at our post-war fate they say: "Forget all these ideas of public power and we will build a pulp mill." They even imply that public power must not be publicly discussed-or no pulp mill. I submit that to entrust our power resources to any private conr.prn is to hamstring this area's great industrial future. The surest way to bring IndustryIncluding pulp mills here (and there are many concerns that could operate with a profit locally) Is to offer them cheap public power. The B.C. Power Commission. nlreodv producing public power in B.C., should expropriate the Northern B.C. Power Co. and .develop local power resources for industrial and domestic consumers at as close to cost price as possible. That would be the bnst passlbb "inducement," to in dustry. The very least the council should do at this stage Ls to ask the B.C. Power Commission t" determine the rates at which public power. can be produced in this area. What has kept this commission away so far? Many cities have "learned through experience to enlist expert advice in dealing with power questions. Whatever the outcome such a course might not seem out of place here. Appeasement, or any form of capitulation to the people wielding a club against Canada and Prince Rupert, ls a pathetically short-sighted policy which can lead only to disaster. Labor and all progressive citizens should press for a solution that meets both immediate and Ions-term needs. BRUCE MICKLEBUUOH. Executive Secretary.
