Henneit
who
has
discovered
that
Prime
Minister
St.
Laurent
is
not
in
the
market

not

Obviously

Prime
Minister's
quip
was

outside

Despite
the
fun
poked
at
the
PGE
through
the
years,
its
future
commands
a
great
deal
of
serious
attention
in
this
province.
Whether
or
not
it
is
the
best
means
of
effecting
a
rail
entrance
into
the
Peace
River'
country,
it
still
has
possibilities
as
a
link
between
the
central
and
southern
parts
of
the
province
w
hich
.so
far
have
been
barely
realized.
Whatever
else
it
'may
be,
it
is
not
a
triviality.
At
the
same
time,
Premier
Bennett's
approach
as
salesman
seems
to
have
left
something
to
be
desired.
Although
there
has
been
considerable
pressure
to
have
a
study
made
of
other
avenues
into
the
Peace
River
block,
the
Premier
stuck
to
the
narrow
idea
that
the
PGE
is
the
only
way.
Thus
he
was
trying
to
sell
a
rich
country
with
a
specific,
and
perhaps
unattractive,
tag
attached
to
it.
As
a
Social
Crediter
talking
to
a
Liberal
he
had
that
much
more
resistance
to
overcome.
In
the
circumstances,
a
northern
PGE
extension
might
have
looked
less
like
a
pioneering
move
to
open
up
new
country
than
a
political
manoeuvre
to
join
up
with
the
rail
lines
of
northern
Alberta,
where
another
Social
Credit
government
is
in
control.
Discussions
between
Premiers
Bennett
and
Manning
on
that
very
subject
are
too
recent
to
be
forgotten.
