The United States What's news at Inco? was able to come into being, to grow and to reach unparalleled prosperity because British sea power maintained a certain world stability. Stated in another way- there never would have been an American, English-' speaking U.S.A. at all had the Soanish Armada conquered England, which was thcr. a bra.h, third class power. The U.S.A. came into being in the first plare only because the English world AHAT is the situation concerning negotiations W for Prince Rupert power, if any? A letter to the editor on Saturday correctly remarked that almost a year has passed since the B.C. Power Commission was invited to hecome supplier here. Meanwhile apparently nothing at all has happened. , , With the Northern P.C. Power Company's franchise due to expire at the end of March, this puts everyone concerned in a very uncertain and unsatisfactory position. Before the Commission can take over, there are such matters to be settled as purchase of existing facilities and creation of a local power district which certainly may be expected to take a fair amount of time. Even if preparations started right away, it would seem almost impossible at this late date to meet the deadline. Evidently, then, the , present supplier will be obliged to continue on a tentative mis without any idea of what is to happen next. This kind of treatment is not only unbusiness-'ike. It is also unethical. In addition,' it imposes a ; 'iandicap on the whole city since no plans for power levelopment can be made until the situation is jlarified. Prince Rupert has a right to expect a great leal more interest and action on the part of the Commission. That body should be asked to advise it once what it proposes to do. Burns of Scotland Scots the world over commemorate the TODAY , birth of one who gave unique and imperishable expression to the spirit of -their race. Literally drawing inspiration from his" country's very soil, farmer Robert Burns within the brief space of 12 years established himself as a poet whose name is written indelibly in, the history of Scotland. j, jUke nsany men pf exception-a nad.an unhappy life. In a letter, to a friend, he confessed "that he longed for the end. It, came soon enough, for-he was only -37 when, death finally cliniaxed a long period of penary and poor health. But. unlike', mafly, others of outstanding talent who diad at an early age, Burns had the: satisfaction of knowing his work was successful. In fact, he was lionized to such an extent that his personal life became the subject of open criticism. Since then, however, reports of his dissipation and decadence have been proved largely inaccurate. It is now said of him that he was not so much conspicuously sinful as that he sinned conspicuously. All that, however, has no bearing on the priceless contribution that Burns made to his beloved Scotland. Tonight, in appreciation, Burns Clubs everywhere will pipe in the haggis and' raise a toast to his enduring memory. $ y , : Lest auld acquaintance be forgot . . ' ' power had beaten the French world power in the war which readied its climax at Quebec. The subsequent revolutionary war between the American colonists and the reactionary King George III gave rise to one of the longest, and bitterest family quarrels in history.
