Calls Enroute to Seattle Sails Without Her Skipper There was an empty berth on the little blue "Teal" this morning as she scudded southward, a tiny cloud of graying canvass or. the long homeward voyage to Seattle. Jack Seller, the 23-year old skipper of the 26-foot backstay yawl, had to leave his command at Prince Rupert. When Jack and his two shipmates, Bob Johnson and Bob deSpelder, docked their craft at the Prince Rupert Yacht Club Wednesday afternoon, they were interviewed by a member of the provincial police and Jack was handed a wire Informing him that his father was seriously ill in Detroit. Unable to contact the '.hree adventuring young men by local plant. With by-elections, conventions and the choosing of new party leaders, Canadians are politically minded, this summer. Many appear to think that to be a member, or to hold office, Is only another way to be on the way to wealth, as well as prestige. History proves otherwise. Private, not public life, can be the most profitable. And often it could never be said of the most eminent that T t1t,L it i linn "lYF-mrnnriBj. !

It was the late President Wuodrow Wilson who said "The history of liberty Is the history of the limitation of government power not the increase of it." Which reminds one strongly of the late Captain Hoomes K. Freeman of Prince Rupert, who wrote numerous letters on public affairs to the News and former Empire. And each letter, written in lead pencil black would finish with the words "the best governed country is the least governed country." they were rich, unless it was In ability and the satisfaction of Is No News Good ? NO NEWS is good news, then everybody IF should be in good spirits about the current conversations in Moscow between Foreign Minister Molutov and the western envoys for certainly they are being careful enough about not letting anything leak out. Nevertheless, the uncertainty is disconcerting in spite of such comment as that of the American ambassador, after yesterday's meeting, that it had been a ''pleasant" talk. Of course, the mere fact that the talks are taking so long to complete is indication that it is-not proving so easy to reach agreement. But, as long as they continue, it also means that there are still the grounds for compromise and agreement. The fact that our side has had to go to Stalin and Molotov rather than them coming to us is a little hard for some to take. The only reason for this, of course, is that the Allies are using all possible methods to avoid war, even at the risk of losing lace. Doubtless, the Russians are acting the way they are because they know the Allies do not want war and will go to almost any length to avoid it. ; Considerable significance may attach itself to the appeal of the blockaded Berliners themselves, as reported yesterday, that the Allies not concede control of Berlin to the Russians.

C.N.R. SHIP REPAIR INFORMATION IS THAT the veteran steamer 1 Prince Rupert, now that she has relief, will be going off the run this fall or winter for an extensive overhaul which is understood to be long over -ie. When they quit building ships a year or so ago, the railway people assured us that the 'Prince Rupert dry clock yard would be maintained 'as a repair establishment. No doubt, the railway or steamship management has in mind the use of ; its local yard "for that work when it comes up and, .likewise, the overhaul of the new Prince George ;when the time arrives. We are expecting that work here in Prince Ru-' pert even though we have not heard anything definite about it and nothing much has been said from 'here. Possibly, since there appears to be no reason hy the annual overhaul of the company's ships should not again be done at Prince Pvupert now that conditions are back to normal again, we should not even suspect that consideration might be given . to doing it elsewhere. Nevertheless, we know there are other hungry Shipyards which would be glad to take the work ;away from us if we went to sleep on the matter. the big surges but the crew were onto, and Mrs. Barney Eyolfson 1 BUSINESS AND PROF! thankful the anchor held and ! his niece and her husband, that they didn't have to clawi the ship away from the menace!
