Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of reconstruction. One is that nothing fan be done as long as the question of intergovernmental financing between the Dominion and the" provinces, and there are only two provinces' now outstanding, is settled. The other reason is contained in the suggestion by Mr. Howe that "the" decision (on the matter of the federal government giving assistance to the provinces in the building of highways) has rested in part on the level of unemployment." , Possibly one of the most cogent arguments in favor of federal participation- in a national highway construction in co-operation with Ihe provinces is ffifZZZ that basjs, a strong case was made out in the recent CcSSlUIl Ul l HI IliUUUIlt ilt uuaiva uj ucmgc shank, Liberal member for Fraser Valley.' Mr. Cjmickshank said: "I am going to speak purely from the tourist' point of view, arid. If you like, from the selfish point of view of dollars and cents. Last year we had $232 million brought into Canada through tourist trade. Well', if we ship our lumber, wheat and everything else something is going out of our country, whereas if we bring in United States money through the tourist traffic we are" taking nothing out of the country. "And why am I driving through the United States? Because they have roads. And I will spend all the money I have to spend in the United States. We are asking tourists- to come here. Our scenery is the one thing we have to sell which takes nothing out of the country, but we do not provide the tourists with the highways they are used to. "Why should the provinces be expeeted to build highways when they would bring money into the country at a time when 5(, we are hearing so much about foreign exchange, and are being told that we can n6t do anything about that situation? "Apparently the' Federal Goverrirhftif is afraid, fo spend m6ney to build highways. I believe it 13 a' good' Common-sense business to expend money In the construction of highways across Canada that would connect with the United States J . border. This w6uld encourage tourist traffic and enable us to I sell them something which cannot be equalled In any other ' part of the world, ow Canadian scenery." BOARDS OF TRADE THE CONVENfON of the Associated Boards I of Trade of Central British Cbiumbia at Prince Rupert did a grand job, the results of which' will ultimately bear" fruit and enhance the prosperity of the district. Never before had so much' interest been taken-in a central B.C. trade convention as 6ri this occasion. There were' two ministers from the provincial government, high officials of the Canadian National Railway and at the final session came. the Governor of Alaska to add his- influence tafhe'.dele- F; - - 'gates from our "cood neighbor" territory. While each locality has justifiable pride' in its own accomplishment's and resources' of potential wealth, an association of all communities broadens ihe outlook of the members. Delegates learn how to compose their various viewpoints on details. They consummate resolutions affecting wider' policies, which when brought to fruition will aid in the developfnent of the entire' area of central afid northern British Cofiimbia, and we trust, of Alaska too. While great nations are f iritfiffg the way weary and long on which they hope to' unite' for the high purpose of world prosperity, security and peace, here on the' frontiers we found a pleasant pathway of co-operation between British Columbia Cana dians and Alaska Americans. Perkriis in this Small measure' of unity between parts of wo .nations, So" much will be accomplished in achieving foferarit understanding as well as business advantages, that new inspiration will be' given those leaders- who are seeking unity among1 all the resolutions, important though thev be". Thousands' of people in the area covered bV this associated boards of trade .hate benefitfed and wilT benefit by the few who, generally at their own expense, have attended these annual conventions where so 'much is done to focus attention' on the solution of problems affecting, development.

Usually, the suggestion- is fortified with the information that smaller and less important communities in British Columbia possess the accommodation. By way oi explanation, the statement has. been heard that 6nce Prince Ruprt attains a certajn population which can be regarded as practically permanent, postal delivery will follow forthwith. And this introduces the question 6f what is the population? Few think alike. Nearly everyone has his own private estimate, although peace-loving soiils have' been' known to defer to one1 another's judgnient ADVERTISE IN THE DAILY NEWS FOR BEST RESULTS Expansion For North That is Way Canada Will Now Govr, Savs Deputy Minister Keenieyside A great" period" of expansion for northern Canada Is imminent although it may not be as substantial as that in northern Russia where, within the past 10 years, several ciues oi za.uuu or so' population" have come" into existence based on the develqp- ment of the natural resources1 and the establishment of industries, declared' Dr. Hugh L-. Keenieyside, deputy minister of mfnef and resources, in speaking informally last evenm at dinner before the executive of the Prince Rupert Chamfeer of Commerce. In; this new northern development in- Canada, Dr. Keerr-leyside felt that Prince Ruper'" would play an important part. Dr. Keenieyside was accounting for his! reasons In quitting' a diplomatic career to become de puty minister of a government department. The" actuating factor in his decision, he said", was because htf felt' that he might actively' assist in the development' of the country. Dr Keenieyside relters.t'ed what' he lidd; previously said to a Daily News interviewer that his interest in Prince" Rupert was more than- passing. He" spoke of what he .taw as possibilities fof trade" and offered any assistance that it was; possible for him to give either within his own department or in: the" presentation of matters to other departments.

On a tour of the clubs in his district, Mr. Doherty arrived in the city Saturday night from Ketchikan after visiting that city, Juneau, Petersburg, Anchorage, Nome and Fairbanks. He left on last night's train for Prince George. Vocational service, Dr. Dbherty defined as "business ethics" which are often difficult to practice. He termed it' "fair practice, aided' by the friendly handclasp, the kindly motive and trie square deal." "ft is the application of the iOolden Rule," he said.

Mr. Doherty outiTned the founding of the Rotary Cluo movement which began in Chicago, in February. 1905, when Paul Harris, a young lawyer. and three" friends created the first club. The second" Club was j organized lrtl San FfaneUco in 1910, arid the same year, cmos were organised' in Oakland and Seattle. The f irst Canadian 'club was formed in Winnipeg the same year Today there are 6.2M Rotary clubs with 305,000 members throughout the world.

"In India, wonderful work Is be!h3 done liv giving the various sects and religions u meeting pround that is outside) both religion and politics." "There rriurt be something about Rotary that not only inspires a man to Join it, but which makes him more willing to give up other affiliations than part with his Rotary membership."
