Terrace Shows The Way WESTERDAY'S announcement that Terrace lumber operators are about to co into the overseas export business via Prince Puiiert raisi'S a number of points, all of them favorable to this district. I First, of course, is the stimulus this vei-Uire will provide to lumber operations alonir the ( N l northern line. The immediate benefits to the operators themselves in finding this new market should be substantial and most likely will make expansion possible which, in turn, will benefit many others. Second is the fact that it promises to activate deep-sea shipping of a general nature from central B.C. Already there are reports that next month a shipping line will commence operations out of here carrying mixed cargoes. It should be noted that definite encouragement to northern shipping trade of this sort was provided by the elimination of insurance penalties against Prince Rupert which followed the visit here last summer of Sir Clement Jones, of the Commonwealth Shipping Committee. In coming years this may prove to he one of the ' most important things that ever happened to Prince Rupert. (It is also a feather in the cap for the Chamber of Commerce w hich led the campaign against discriminatory rates and took care to see that Sir Clement was given all the facts during his visit here.) A third point of vital significance locally is the possible regeneration of Prince Rupert a the port it was once intended to be. Coming at a time when the city is carrying on a grim fight to retain its drydock, this Terrace project puts a glaring ligh orj the backward movement of the federal government when everything else suggests it should be going forward. ' Next door, as the Kitimat Northern Scntin-jl pointed out in the editorial we carried yesterday, the Alcan development and its attendant industries will spur the growth of all the area immediately east of us. This plus the shipping it will attract to the northern coast made the government's determination to take Prince Rupert apart seem strange enough. The trade foreshadowed by the Terrace venture will now make it downright embarrassing in case it is not that way already. Congratulations, men of Skeena Timber Products, for demonstrating that it is not necessary to 0 hundreds of miles by rail from central to reach the sea! The ' ) 'I i- lf'A Water tile f ifiVMUSTANC So far a.s the veterans are concerned, the povernmerit has the answer that it increased their allowance:: in 1 052.

"The Englishman is the fairest, most decent chap in all the world provided you remember he always acts by his own peculiar code. But if you hurt an Englishman's pride, he will kill you on the spot." The real threat to British-American relations is that the Americans sometimes forget that fact.
