It only requires casting the mind back a decade to realize how a railway develops an area. Ten years ago the PGE extended for 345 miles between Squamish and Quesnel. It served 9,000 people living there. Since the line was stretched from North’ Vancouver. to Prince George the population. served has grown to 25,000. Now itis pY edicted that the pr esent 20,000 people in the Peace country will jump to 80,000 by 1975. -. Freight revenue for the PGE illus- trates the economic growth of an area served by rail. Car loadings increased from 15,584 in 1952 to 28.809 last year. Increased traffic from the Peace area extensions make PGE officials optimistic for the railway’s continued operation in the “black.” They are ‘confident that in the next few years this third largest’ Canadian railway will. be in the best financial position of any in the country. But the operat- ing profit of the railway is secondary to its role in developing the Northern portion of this country. : os —Journal of Commerce. : ~ Woman’ Ss glory intended for mankind’s permanent residence. .

The Algerlan developments thus make more acute the rivalry of the pro-West Bourguiba and tho Russian-orlented Nasser, recently dramatized by Tunishe’ s diplomatic break with the UAR. Just one passage in de Gaulle'’s Invitation to the rebels may have been enough ta can- vinee Nasser that the talks should not be allowed to take place.
