The Power Situation LAST year the failure of the Falls River hydroelectric plant to maintain the power supply of this city caused everyone in Prince Rupert great inconvenience and discomfort. Hardship occurred in some cases with loss cf money and business by many people. Great was the indignation at that time and there were threats of all sorts of action. With the ending of the crisis, public feeling soon quietened down and little more -was heard about the matter. The power company promised that it would have a new emergency diesel plant in operation before another winter emergency arose. Now the emergency has arisen clue, it is granted, to entirely unforeseen and certainly most exceptional conditions. Yet the emergency might well have been caused by foreseen conditions in the experience of the new type of winters which Prince Rupert appears to be getting with fair consistency. Prince Rupert people cannot be blamed if they have felt more than a little irritated over the inconvenience of the past few days and are concerned about just such a new situation arising as occurred last winter and which had been threatened the winter before. True, the new plant at the dry dock at least a third of it will be in operation within the next few days. There are some who question whether even the full 240O kilowatts to be developed, there will be a supplement or a stand-by adequate to meet the situation. It would, to some," appear questionable, should another severe cold winter come and both Falls River' and Shawatlans become dried up, whether there would be sufficient power to meet Prince Rupert's greatly increased demands to say nothing of the new industries adjacent such as the Nelson Brothers Fisheries plant. Prince Rupert people are doing a good deal of speculating about the power supply these days and are in a critical mood. Granted there is a fundamental feeling of goodwill towards the company and a tolerant understanding of weather conditions, it is imperative, however, in order to preserve public goodwill the most valuable asset which private enterprise must merit if it is worthy of survival that the company should make well ahead of time preparations necessary to meet the requirements of this rapidly developing community.

Coroner's Job Different Now u McBrldP Street. m SETTLING THE WAR IN AN ASSESSMENT of the needs of immediate I moment in tne Korean situation, it would appear that, first, the military situation must be stabilized and, second, all possibilities of a political settlement be explored. In fact, those could be the the bases of policy in Europe, in the Middle East, in Southern Asia and the Far East. The two bases are complementary. Attempts to reach any settlement except from the position of stability would simply lead down a dangerous path of fruitless appeasement, invite intensification of offensives in the hope of extorting; more and more concessions and merely mean indefinite prolongation of the cold war. Stabilization is not merely a military operation.

The purpose of all would be to render .the free world strong and stable enough to resist the impact of all offensives that might be directed against it. Then to seek solutions on political lines does not, by any means, imply appeasement but is plain common sense. If and whenever Russia and her associates realize the futility and danger of continuing the cold war, they must be given every opportunity of securing peace by negotiation. If Russia and China are prepared to end the conflict which they began the door should be left open for them to do so. Every possibility should be explored if they show any willingness to co-operate. But if they are not willing, if they are resolved to continue their efforts to disrupt and destroy the political, social and economic stability of the other camp, there can be nothing for it but to continue strengthening defences and to prepare, resolute resistance to every form cf assault against any part , of the free world.
