' Hitherto, in a lessening degree as the years went by, the city which was destined to be the gateway to the Orient, has been a a stopping off place for tourists, merely because the cruise ships called in here.. Our only claims to fame, apart from: having the third largest natural harbor in the world, have been the largest cold storage plant in the world, the canneries dnd the Museum of Northern British Columbia which is: s-attr acting more tourists every year. . ~ If the marine highway plan, which will see this -gity as a southern terminal in a network of roads Haines to Juneau, is br ought into being, then Prince Rupert will hecome an important link in a circle fom’, that both Ameri igans and Canadians will be Bappy to make. The scenery, our own along High- way 16 and up the coast, topether with that which e visitor will see in Alaska and along the Alaska Piehway into the Yukon, is beyond comparison. We've got it and this new road system, which will in- dlude the ferry, will give hundreds and thousands of tourists the opportunity to see it. : When the Governor of Alaska Michael A. Stepovich comes here Wednesday, Highways Minis- ter Gaglardi and other government and city officials should do their’ utmost to see that the Canadian end gf the program is carried out. Such an oppor tunity should not be passed up and every effort should be yhade to see that no obstacles are placed in the way Of the $4,000,000 project.

But the outcome of the Impasse is likely to be decided by the world’s newest state—Ghana, At stake Is the price, and pos- sibly the quality, of such favor- ites as cocoa, candy bars, ehoco- late syrup and everything else using chocolate in one form or another. This is what's nappening: The Bank of Brazil, which handles exports of that coun- try’s crop, has set. a minimum export price of 31.60 cents a pound in Brazil for cocoa beans.
