as

for
U.S.

Real
Flood
Control
hROVLNXIAL
LEGISLATURE
has
been
in
three-l
day
session,
ending
today,
to
provide
funds
to
finance
reconstruction
and
rehabilitation
of
the
flood-swept
areas
of
the
province.
The
fiscal
bill
authorizing
a
specific
loan
of
$5,000,000
also
gives
the
government
a
blank
check
to
spend
as
it
sees
fit
from
consolidated
revenue
fund
for
the
flood
purpose.
Premier
Johnson
has
given
assurance
that
all
flooded
parts
of
the
province
will
be
given
equal
treatment
although
it
is
still
obscure
as
to
whether
or
not
federal
aid
is
to
be
limited
to
the
Fraser
Valley.
However,
the
Premier
repeated
before
the
Legislature,
as
he
had
in
press
statements
previously,
that
he
was
fully
satisfied
with
federal
co-operation.
Flood
damage
in
the
Fraser
Valley
alone
has
been
estimated
at
$30,000,000.
To
this
is
to
be
added
the
damage
in
other
parts
of
the
province,,
particularly
the
Kootenays,
west
and
east,
which
runs
into
the
miliions
as
reported
by
Minister
of
Lands
and
Forests
Kenney.
So
it
is
clear
that
much
more
than
$5,000,000
being
voted
by
the
Legislature
will
be
needed
and
towards
this
there
will
be
the
federal
augmentation
and
what
the
communities
themselves
may
or
.may
not
put
up.
Recently
the
Daily
News
has
been
discussing
the
advisability
of
long
range
flood
control
or
prevention
as
preferable
to
the
policy
or
lack
of
policy
whereby
we
merely
relieve
or
rehabilitate
flood
situations,
doing
nothing
in
the
xvay
of
obviating
their
recurrence.
So
it
is
interesting
to
read
what
the
Financial
Post
has
to
say:
"It
is
to
be
hoped
that
the
costly
lesson
of
this
spring
will
not
be
forgotten
quickly.
For
years
we
have
been
casually
talking
flood
control.
But
with
a
few
notable
exceptions,
talking
is
about
as
much
as
we
have
done.
It's
going
to
a
long
and
expensive
business,
bringing
these
spring
floods
under
control,
but
it
must
be
faced
and
started
or
we
are
going
to
have
to
abandon
a
lot
of
Canada.
"Simply
repairing
the
damage
done

EXONERATED
RECENTLY
we
commented
editorially
upon
and
partially
reprinted
an
editorial
of
our
friend.
William
L.
Baker,
publisher
of
the
Ketchikan
Chronicle,
suggesting
that
the
Canadian
National
Railways
might
reimburse
Ketchikan
fish
exporters
for
demurrage
and
re-handling
charges
involved
when
several
carloads
of
Alaska
refrigerated
fish
was
caught
by
the
Skeena
River
flood
conditions
and
had
to
be
stnt
back
to
Prince
Rupert
and
re-shipped
or
put
in
storage.
The
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce,
through
its
Alaska
committee,
went
to
work
to
investigate
the
whole
matter
and
has
come
up
with
the
report
that
thousands
of
dollars
which
Mr.
Baker
said
were
charged
'
actually
were
not
charged.
So
we
say
to"
the
Canadian
National
Railways
that
we
are
sorry
about
the
reprinting
as,
doubtless,
Mr.
Baker
will
readily
say
about
the
original
publication.
And,
to
make
the
explanation
complete,
we
rjuote
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
committee
report:
The
Canadian
National
Railways
did
not
bill
any
shipper
several
thousand
dollars
for
demurrage.
The
Canadian
National
Railways
did
not
charge
the
shippers
re-handling
charges
for
any
frozen
fish.
The
railway
did
not
bill
any
demurrage
or
re-handllng
charges
for
any
freight
shipments
delayed
by
floods.
In
so
far
as
freight
...
is
concerned,
the
charge
made
against
the
railway
company
is
entirely
without
foundation.
We
do
find
that,
in
the
case
of
three
express
cars
of
fish,
the
railway
company
made
a
charge
for
re-icing
which
they
justify
by
stating
.
that
this
is
done
for
the
preservation
of,
the
shipper's
product.
Here
again,
however,
there
was
no
dmeurrage
ever
charged.

THE
BRIGHTER
SIDE
IT
APPEARS
to
be
a
generally
accepted
notion
that
nothing
can
be
news
unless
it's
bad.
The
more
it
wrings
one's
heart,
the
better.
The
blacker
the
crime,
the
more
valuable
the
story
The
more
profound
the
depth
of
infamy,
the
greater
the
necessity
to
play
it
up.
But
this
is
getting
off
on
the
wrong
foot.
Life
is
largely
what
you
make
of
it
and
millions
of
people
find
this
a
happy
world.
Everyone
is
not
a
monster
and
all
are
not
on
the
verge,
of
starvation
or
divorce.
A
sensible
viewpoint
to
take
is
to
assume
that
all
is
not
as
distressing
as
it
seems.
That
which
shocks
and
grieves
gets
into
print
because
the
public
wants
to
know.
But
more
welcome
is
the
story
that
tells
of
good
fortune,
a
discovery
something
that
uplifts
amuses
or
encourages.
Nothing
is
more
impartial
than
the
press
and
nothing
gives
more
pleasure
than
to
be
able
to
publish
the
very
antithesis
of
woe.
