My the following proposed resolution: RESOLVED, that it Is expedient to present a bill cornering authority upon the gov ernor in council to authorize ; the Canadian National Rail- 1 way Company to construct a line of railway from Terrace to Kitimat, in one province of j British Columbia, a distance of approximately 46 miles at an ; estimated expenditure or $10.- ; 000,000 and an average ex- ! penditure of $217,391.30 per ! mile. The bill will make provl- ' sion for the Issue by the company of securities, which may j be guaranteed by the government in respect of the cost of , construction. To enable the company to proceed with con- . struction forthwith, temporary ' loans may be made to the company out of the consoli All Good Canadians "THE SQUABBLE between some of the govern-- l.-ment members and the CCF in the House at Ottawa during recent days following the remark Iy Minister of External Affairs L. B. Pearson, who is-usually more discreet, about the Socialist party giving comfort to Moscow need not be taken too seriously. ' Mr. Pearson might have been a little more careful in his choice of words. At the same time, M. J. Coldwell, CCF leader, need not have flared up about it. The little tempest, however, should soon be over with no serious hard feelings or ill effects. Everyone, of course, knows where Mr. Pearson stands as far as sympathy with Russia is concerned but, nevertheless, in the realm of international affairs and negotiation, he could be counted upon to be conciliatory and reasonable even with Russia once she gave the opening. And the most of us know how Mr. Coldwell stands as far as Communism is concerned. He would b6 one of the last to sympathize with the Red philosophy. In fact, we think it was rather a feeble attempt that one of the prairie Liberal members made yesterday to associate the CCF brand of Socialism with Communism. Both Mr. Pearson and Mr. Coldwell are good loyal Canadians, we are here to say, and no one is going to pay much serious attention to any one who tries to make out that either of them are not. There has been a good deal of eyewash in this kind of talk and it is well to be accepted as such and not taken very seriously. Meantime, we feel inclined to sympathize with the suggestion of Stanley Knowles, another respected CCF member, that Parliament might be able to get along mcn-e expeditiously with its consideration of defence masters if the government would take the House more into its confidence as to what is planned and what is needed for Canada to play its part as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and its contribution to western defence. Basically, it would probably be found that there is not a great deal pf real difference of opinion between Liberals and Socialists, or Progressive Conservatives and Social Credit for that matter, on Canada's policy and line of action in connection therewith. 0W1MIF BIILKX9S OFMMS 10 dated revenue fund, upon terms and conditions pre- scribed by tht governor in council and secured ty company securities. ABOLISH LEVEL CROSSINGS ; I am seriously, thinking of bringing a private bill before the House to do away with level railway crossings on new railway construction in Canada. On tle new PGE Railway north of Ques-nel .engineers have managed to put in numerous level crossings. On new constructions such as that of Kitimat I think it would be very wise to outlaw the level i cros-sing. During the past year,! 213 persons were killed in level crossing accidents in Canada. It! Ls time that something was done ' to stop the construction of these , death traps. We should ehmi-l nate level crossings in any new rail or highway construction in' Canada.

Prince Rupert, for the first time, has been in the British Columbia big time basketball and, win or lose in the finals, our boys will have given a good account of themselves, carrying worthily the torch of their home town. Whether we shall continue to strive in the top hoop division or revert to the Senior B company, where for years our hoopsters have been doing very well, will be something to debate for a good long time now. Win or lose, it has been good experience for our men, has given us a measure of excellent publicity and provided our loyal home town fans with a lot to whet their interest and enthusiasm. The Challengers, no matter what happens, will have nothing to be asTiamed of and will be deserving of a good big hand when they get home for tbfi worthy manner in which they have acquitted themselves on their travels in quest of further worlds to conquer. ft foreign affairs. The CCF speaker declared at that time that the' USA was an imperialistic power j seeking to control the world. He! said that the Canadian policy! was that of warmongering and he ended up his speech by saying that Canadians were satel-j lites of the United States and; that "Canadians always sucked! the hind teat."
