War and the American stance on Britain France and neutrality
A historical opinion piece argues that a British and French defeat would shift global power, forcing the United States to expand military and naval forces, with neutrality debates sidelined as planes and guns from America would be sent to allied nations to avert defeat. It weighs costs, including army and air force budgets, and predicts two escape paths: peace or victory for Britain and France.

Ripple Rock to be removed from Seymour Narrows
The Ripple Rock obstruction in Seymour Narrows will be removed after more than 30 years of petitions. It lies four fathoms below low water and the towage is hindered by strong tides, forcing ships through only at high water and low water slack. Victoria opposed the plan hoping for a railway bridge base, but changes in rail and air travel made the idea unlikely. Coastal skippers bid farewell to the obstacle as a costly barrier to traffic.
