The Skeena River highway is dangling along, while vigorous measures are being adopted to force the other to the front. So much is it the case that the Federal Premier is being brought into the councils along with United ates inter- ests and the Provincial Government. All this time practically nothing is being done toward forwarding the highway from Prince Rupert eastward. It would seem as if the intention is to give preference to the Ala: highway and allow Prince Rupert’s vital project to be delayed indefinitely.—(Prince Rupert News.) It is perfectly all right for the Prince Rupert paper to urge its Prince Rupert road as an enter- prise that is entitled to first consideration. But we don't like the not well concealed sneer in the first paragraph. It isn't clubby are certain that “American interests” one Canadian project at for the purpose of helping their own country to the detriment of Canada. In fact we don’t think they are trying to interfere in Canadian matters | at all. We the expense of another PORT ANGELES HELPING HERSELF. The flourishing little City of Port Angeles, Wash- ington, has again exhibited the spirit that accounts for its flourishing. By a vote of 2,438 to 20 the other day it increased a previously ordered bond issue from $500,000 to $800,000 to get the money to bring water into the city for pulp and paper devel- opment that is under wa This is the second time within the year that Port Angeles has shown al- a mous disposition to co-operate with cupnu! investment within its limits.

Wor for bonds were | inclined to take the thing Last summer the $500000 was voted to bring water into town for the Olympic Forest Products Company. Then the Zellerbach people decided to| double their 300-ton pulp and paper plants, and asked for more water. That was followed by a de- cision of the Olympia Forest Products Company | to builder larger than it had intended and the| need for a ater water supply.

Too much praise cannot be given the President for the prompt and resolute and skillful way in which he set about reassuring the country after| the financial collapse. Making a new use of methods which he had frequently employed on a smullcr‘ scale when he was Secretary of Commerce, he sum- moned to Washington leaders in business and lnnk-= ing and industry and agriculture and organwd labor, with the aim of inducing them to do every-| thing possible to repair the disaster. To this pl(uh agreed in a large and generous spirit. What| undertook to do was reported to the public| land has undoubtedly had a most salutary effect.| But it is necessary to examine closely the exact nature of that effect. It was predominantly al change of mental attitude. People were led to raise their eyes from looking at ruins and to fix them upon the new and fairer buildings to be erected. | There was a general sense of encouragement “He d, you remember, that he knew it would keep him young. And it has! He has never grown a day older from that time to this, and he will never grow any older. He will always have white hair—just as he had when he decided what he would do. |sa But he will stay jst the me.” The Little Black Clock and John and Peggy sat, now, in a corner of Santa's room.

Moreover, the mobility of labor is not in actual practice so facile as it is in economic theory, so that time must | elapse before workers who may be displaced at one point can find jobs at another. Apparently | Mr. Hoover himself contemplates some such slow‘ | development of his plans. This seems to be im- plied by his intention to set up two or three perm- lanent Councils, to have continuous charge of co- ‘mdumlmv: and hastening public works and other activities, in the hope of preventing violent crises {in the labor market or in any large industry. | The President's course in this troublous time {has been all that could be desired.
