The
best
of
engineers
would
be
in
a
difficult
position
if
they
were

with
the
wherewithal
to
work.
Everybody
knows
the
condition
of
affairs
as
far
as

is
concerned
is
deplorable,
to
put
it
mildly,
and,
unless
something
is
done
about
it,
the
position
will
be
impossible.
It
is
easy
enough
fairly
or
unfairly
to
make
the
goat
of
some
one
in
a
situation
like
this
and
it
might
not
be
so
easy
to
find

Lifting

It
Rain!
HE
new
minister
of
finance,
Mr.
Abbott,
appears
to
be
price
control
the
safe
way
although,
in
his
"gradual
and
Orderly
readjustment,"
he
may
pot
be
going
quite
as
far
as
tome
interests
might
like.
iheremay
not
be
any
serious
repercussions
in
the
way
f
uncontrolled
increases
of
prices
since
the
controls
are
icing
released
only
on
goods
and
services
which
are
considered
in
good
supply.
From
jime
to
time,
it-is
to
be
expected
that
controls
on
further
items
will
be
removed
until
the
old
system
Is
resumed
inhere
prices
are
regulated
by
the
process
of
balace
between
'supply
and
demand
with
the
additional
brake
of
the
public's
judgment
as
to
whether
or
not
it
will
buy
at
the
prices
being
asked.
',
The
question
of
rent
control,
so
far
untouched
and
which
the
minister
appears
to
)je
diffident
about
disturbing
for
the
time
being
at
least,
is,
oUcourse,
a
subject
of
much
'difference
of
opinion
in
view
'of
the
direct
conflict
of
interest
between
owner
and
renter.
It
is
to
be
anticipated
jthat
something
will
be
done
in
due
course
in
the
way
not
of
removing
control
altogether
but
permitting
a
reasonable
increase
in
the
ceilings
so
that
jthe
renter
will
not
be
undly
hurt
on
the
one
hand
while
the
owner
will
get
a
little
better
break
on
the
other.
WILL
be
a
matter
of
real
IT
satisfaction
for
those
of
us
who
are
so
jealous
about
Prince
Rupert's
good
name
as
far
as
weather
is
concerned
to
be
advised
from
no
less
a
source
than
an
official
survey
of
flying
conditions
on
this
coast
prepared
by
the
Canadian
Pacific
Airlines,
in
support
of
its
case
for
the
institution
of
a
scheduled
air
service
between
Vancouver
and
Prince
Rupert,
that
Van-couver
has
the
worst
flying
weather
on
the
whole
route
while
Prince
Rupert's
weather
occasions
a
minimum
of
delay
as
far
as
flying
is
concerned.
Of
course,
none
of
us
when
we
fly
back
and
forth
along
the
coast
want
to
be
hung
up
by
the
fog
as
we
endeavor
to
get
in
or
out
of
Vancouver,
even
if
CPA's
case
suggests
that,
if
the
worst
comes
to
the
worst,
we
might
find
some
other
means
of
transport
than
flying
between
Vancouver
and
the
clearer
places
along
the
coast.
Be
we
can
reflect
that,
even
if
we
do
have
the
odd
rain
shower
around
Prince
Rupert
while
Vancouver
is
so
often
tightly
enveloped
with
its
traditional
"pea
soup"
fogs,
those
same
showers
are
all
the
while
keeping
our
air
clear
and
fresh
here.
And
so
Prince
Rupert
very
officially
scores
over
Vancouver
for
once
as
far
as
the
weather
is
concerned.

"By

on

the
King
government
has
indicated
once

that
it
stands
squarely
on

side

and
has
no
intention
of,
trying

serve
the
interests
of

of

declared
Stan
Boshier,
Prince

leader
of
the
Laibor-Progresslxe
Party,
in
a
statement
issued
today.
"The
relaxation
of'
controls.
which
was
foreshadowed
by
tho
abolition,
of
the
milk.subsidy
in
1946,
can
have
but
one
effect
and
that
is
to
cut
the

would

would
refrain

from

action
such
as
this
which
will
certainly
precipitate
an
increased
wave
of
strikes
in

As'
a
result
of
this

move
by

we
can
expect
a

increase,

than
a

of'
