Hlave never been there and probably will never go there, just like everybody else, including J all the environmental experts who tender their advice from: all over the globe. The Wilderness Society of Brisbane, Australia, seems to know all about South Moresby. So does Pierre Trudeau, the guy I who screwed up this country far more than a few loggers are ever likely to do. So does Pierre Ber- ton. We have heard flummery galore about our ‘'Canadian Galapagos"’, of which no one had ever heard until all the fuss blew up. In Toronto, which is only 2,300 miles away, the pompous Globe & Mail has stated: “The importance of preserving South Moresby in a wild state for Preasons of ecology, tourism, recreation and natural history, transcends the short-term financial gain of stripping it of trees.” Tourism?! And then we have the myopic {| David Suzuki, hero of the liberal left, peering at us from the CBC TV screen and giving us a pro- Ff fessorial load of bilge about the place.

Mr. Bakewell is a professional forester and forest engineer who, as he puts it, “was born up an in- fet on the North Coast of British Columbia 58 years ago’. He hasn't seen South Moresby from a helicopter, airplane, or kayak, nor has he floated around it in a luxury yacht. Bue as a timber cruiser he spent months studying the place for the tree farm license that was granted there. Here’s what he writes about it. The region covers 516 square miles, which is only 15 per cent of the Queen Charlotte Islands. But not all of South Moresby comes under the licence. Only 216 square miles does, There is no plan, nor was there ever any plan, to cut down all the trees holus-bolus. The plan is to log the South Moresby area over 45 years. In the 45 years, only 112 square miles or 20 per cent of South Moresby will aetually be loveed becuse 1b is nat possible to epenite omuch tnere than drat. Which, he sits, ineans that an average of only ad per cent of the Whole S60-square mile area would be cut per year. Phere has been a lot of babbling about shorelines and the discam- fort that chins, ete., sill suffer if trees are cut dows in this sacred spot. According to Mr, Bakewell, the shoreline covered by the tree farm license is 700 miles long. OF that, 600 miles or &§ per cent would remain undisturbed. Jobs? Let me jump in here and say that fat-cat liberals like Suzuki love to) put the environment before the welfare of ignorant fellaws like Joggers. So docs White Swan, a representative of the non-working class, who does very well on his parliamentary emoluments, thank you very much. But the loggers don't see it that way. Nor does Mr. Bakewell. What can replace those jobs, he asks? Tourism? ‘it’s wet, foggy, and has a damned inhospitable climate," he says of South Moresby. And some months ago he asked every MLA and MP in , the province: ‘‘When all the land claims by Indians and en- vironmentalists, supported by the self-servers, the misinformed, and bleeding heai:s are settled, how many of your constituents will be working?”’ It's a fair question.
