Under that policy fish was to be placed on the list. The Consérva- tive ery, apart from the silly one of annexation, was that we shall get the benefit of the American reduction of tariff without any concession on our part. True the States have re- moved the duty from fish en- tering Canada, but if the duty was also removed on fish en- tering the States from Canada Prince Rupert would have no fish problem. There is no place in Canada that would benefit is not in its development. of American ment is policy free more from frecr trade with the States in natural products than Prince Rupert. Instead of trying to get a half conces- sion through an unwilling government, let us throw them out of office and let Sir Wil- frid Laurier solve our prob- lem in the natural way. * * «© A visit to our great drydock and a remembrance of the fact that this is one of the grants —=—=—====—~=E~E=EsEsE~E~EeeeeeSaw see Over a hundred families like this earn a living in British Columbia making and selling Royal Stand- ard Flour, When Flour YOU help to maintain these homes and moreover you get the best flour you ean buy. that branded trade-mark, Vancouver Milling & Grain Co, Ltd. | ALS) of Sir Wilfrid Laurier w Prince Rupert, one cannot help} RI feeling how grateful we ought | } to be that this grant went through before the Borden government came into power. The building of the G. T. P. was of the biggest tri- umphs of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. With great faith in the future, he fought for a that opened up half of Canada for settlement. Prince Rupert, the terminus of that road, Sir Wil- frid had destined for a great city. With that end in view he made provision for our great drydock. This, however, was only to be the beginning of many grants to this city. It is well known that he intended to make it a naval base, but his defeat in 1911 stopped all that and since that moment Prince Rupert has been left the cold. + * * one poliey out in It is net only the Borden government which not wish to see the dream of Sir Wilfrid realized in Prince Ru- pert. In this province we have a government which insists on taking every cent out of the north and spending it on the cities of the south. Besides that they are doing all in their power to steal the trade of Prince Rupert over the P. G. EB, from Fort George.
