The only thing Canada does require is co-operation in the development of the electricity, which will be a by-product of the entire project. .THERE has been no discussion of the matter in Parliament as yet. But It now appears that the U.S.A. has made a firm decision on this vitally Important matter. The main dependence is to be on a North American industrial ' and military base.

If the drydock is taken over by a private. concern, this is a prospect that may still materialize. But since the cost of putting the structure back into full operation would be about $3,000,000, it is more likely that the equipment will be sold on a oiecemeal basis and hauled away. Possibly some of it will go to the naval base at Esquimalt, for which x $5,XX),000 expansion program has just been announced. Should this happen without any further use being made of the site, Prince Rupert's future will take on a very gloomy shade and the CNR will find its public relations here extremely uncomfortable no matter what its reasons for deciding t5 sell. But it is difficult to believe that this valuable waterfront property will remain vacant for long. Already there is speculation that a sawmill . or a plywood plant might be located there. With reference to the latter it is interesting to note that even now logs from the interior are being dumped there for haulage to a plywood factory at New Westminster. The economies that would be realized by establishing the industry here are too obvious to need elaboration. Whatever happens, some provision must be made to continue operations for the repair of fishing boats. In such an active fishing port as Prince Rupert, this is an essential service. As to the rest, if Prince Rupert obtains a new industry it will be bdtter than vainly dreaming of the day when we might be building ships.
