Possibly, we ourselves are not doing all that we could to advance our own interests. After all, what are we putting up ourselves? Indeed, we might take a lesson from Vancouver in which city only yesterday it was announced that a new transpacific shipping line was being formed with Vancouver people providing the capital. We think about other people coming in here to invest their money in local developments. But what are we doing about investing our own money? What move will be taken right here in Prince Rupert, for instance, to take advantage of the subsidy for a steamship service out of this port which may be offered by the federal government? What is being done to organize or encourage local investment in other r-undertakings which we would essay "' suggest to others are profitable? The best argument we could possibly put up to outside investors to rnmn in Viprft nnd heln us develoi) Prince Rupert would be to have our own stake in the place ourselves. Lack of confidence makes any case most vulnerable and' certainly we do not show a great deal of tangible confidence ourselves. RADIO NOVELTY OVER THE NOVELTY OF RADIO is i worn out. In many homes where not so long ago it commanded rapt attention it is now but an incidental noise which is only casually heard if listened to at all something like the ticking of the clock. "Variety," the theatrical and entertainment magazine, has compared this year's radio listening with that of ten years ago. In the summer of 193G Major Bowes' program led all the rest with a rating of 23.7 while eleven other shows rated better than ten. In 1943 the Walter Win- IS HOLDING TO BUDGET chell program was top with 16.3 while six others were over ten. This summer Mr. District Attorney was high with a mere 10.8 while only one other was over ten. If one comes to think abdut it, what Variety says might be confirmed in any home. That is because radio has lost the appeal of novelty. Nobody pays much attention to it any more. People don't "hear it on the radio" like they used to. Nevertheless, good radio is an essential service which we are entitled to have available for our use and enjoyment. THE STOCK COLLAPSE THERE IS SPECULATION as to I the actual cause of the current collapse in the stock markets. In some ways it is assuming almost panic proportions but the cause is fundamentally different than that of the great crash of 1929 when overproduction was an actuating factor a condition where .goods were far far in excess of the buying capacity for commodities. Today there are shortages of salt, soap, shirts, furniture, linoleum, stoves, cars, tractors, farm implements. Possibly, it would be easier to name the things that are in normal supply than those that are short. At the same time there are millions of consumers able and crying to buy. In 1929 the buying capacity had dried up in the face of huge stocks of commodities. The reasonable explanation of the present stock market collapse is that nervousness has been engendered among investors in industrial securities which are dependent upon production. Production, in turn, is being knocked flat by strikes and shortages . There is uncertainty not only about production itself but also about its prospects of prpfit under existing conditions. It would appear safe to predict that a reasonable peace and security on the industrial relations front would be followed by a stiffening up on the stock market which is always a barometer of reaction.
