C: Power Commission down the river. Under the provisions of the Electric Power Act there should be no conflict between _pub- lie ownership’ and private enterprise in this vision- ary project, because a private company—all other factors ‘being satisfactory—would not be usurping territory statutority belonging to the commission. tx There is'a great deal of misunderstanding about the status of hydro-electric power production in this Brovince. British Columbia has public power, but not Mationalized power. Act there never was any intention to nationalize Bower; nor. to intrude in fields which were being’ or auld be served by private. companies. sh The primary—virtually the only—purpose of the Flectric Power Act which set up the B.C. Power. Commission was to bring cheap: power within reach af rural areas where there was. little hope of getting = otherwise, The commission, with money borrowed. on the credit of’ the province, was té supply power in ‘the more remote regions impracticable or uneconom- - es for anyone else to enter; and has done so most Shecessfully. Separate spheres of operation were. St up, specifically barring the commission from Sompeting i in populous areas which sould be served sy private producers. The character of some regions of the province has changed since the act was passed "12 years ago, but the pr inciple on “which spheres of operation were divided has not. These terms may not always have been observed to the letter, but that has no bearing on the Peace River project. . Not by. any stretch could the development of 4,000,000 horsepower in the uninhabited wilderness be interpreted as rural electrification and thus a prerogative of the commission. Whatever the dreams of an “Industrial empire” in the Rocky Mountain Trench, it does not seem to be denied that this en- ormous new horsepower would be developed mainly for export to already industrialized areas far to the south, even to the United States. ' Related.tothe.in-. tention if not the precise wording of the Power Act, that does not appear to be a proper function of the commission. —Victoria Colonist.

I. had been honored in this way, both sentiments were strong in me: with an additional one, surprise, even stronger. I don’t: think that I have ever been so [labbergasted since I received an English prize in my first year at college ‘for writing an essay on the subject, particularly ap- propriate for a freshman of 17 years, “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lov- ed at all.” . There can be no greater privi- lege —-and responsibility — given to. a Canadian than to be the spokesman of his country at in- ternational meetings such as those of the United Nations, where the clemental questions of peace and war are discussed, in- fluenced and perhaps even on oceasion decided. When the poli- cies of one’s government, as de- termined by the wil of the Ca- nadian people, are those which make for peace and constructive “1 co-operation between peoples, the privilege becomes an in- spiration: and the responsibility a great opportunity. I have been very conscious of this during the vears I have rep- resented my country at the Un- ited Nations and elsewhere. Ca- ada’s reputation abroad stands high because she has always; problems and in the conciliation of differences. However, we do not need to get too smug about this. We have been very fortun- ate in the facts of our political and economic position, which have been such as to make it some matters than it is for cer- | tain other countries; than it would be for us, if our! short term national interests were more often and more dir- ectly involved; or if our exper- ience and our history had been different. } tried to help in the solution of! or indeed ; i But what ever the reason inay: | be, the fact remains that Ca- | | nada has achieved a good name | among the nations for its con- tribution to the search for peace. The Nobel Award has made me the beneficiary of that high national esteem. . In-the ast ten days I have re-: ceived mere than a thousand messages ‘Of congratulation and award. They have come. from lall parts of the world: from children at school and from an old friend of 93 years; from per- sons in the highest *places and from those who work and live as plain, ordinary ‘people. The -| President of the United States of America has addressed me as “Dear Mike’ and a newly ar- | rived laborer from a refugee camp as “Excellency.” One en- velope that intrigued me was addrtssed to: “L. B. Pearson, Peacemaker, Late United Nations New York.” Wherever these messages came from—and however addressed— there was in them all.a deen good wishes on receiving this es “% : ma -, . 0° every bundle of roofing.

Perhaps never before has this yearning been more intense or widespread—and so mixed with anxiety. .Here are a few, but typ- ical excerpts. “I am just an or- dinary wife and mother who looks at her children and is afraid,” “We were refugees from a Nazl concentration camp, but our boys are now Canadian doc- tors and we want Lo serve this country that has brought us peace.” “Please do keep on trying to help nations get along with each other;” and so they went. Then there were also many letters from Canadian friends,: known and unknown, who mov- ingly shared my pride in the award as-a tribute to our coun- try.
