Another
Convention
of

Colum-.
REPRESENTATIVES
bia
communities
are
getting
together
again
in
Prince
Rupert
today.
About
three
weeks
ago
it
was
the
annual
convention
of
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
of
Central
British
Columbia
which
was
a'
great
success
in
promoting
better
understandings
through
friendly
discussion
and
social
intercourse.
Today
it
is
the
annual
convention
of
the
Central
British
Columbia
Municipal
Association,
the
first
such
gathering
to
be
held
in
this
city.
Once
again
the
people
of
this
district
have
admit--ted
the
desirability
of
getting
together
to
strengthen
their
interests
by
united
organization
and
presentation
of
views
on
matters
of
common
interest.
That
the
municipal
convention
may
prove
useful
ami
successful
in
accomplishment
is
our
hope.
The
-.delegates
are
welcome
here.
WAR
MONGERING?
t
"LETTERBOX"
CORRESPONDENT
charges
A
us
with
war
mongering
because
we
put
a
big
headline
on
the
report
of
a
statement
by
a
leading
United
States
legislator
who,
after
a
survey
of
the
area,
called
for
the
intense
fortification
of
Alaska
which
he
said
would
be
a
first
line
of
defence
in
another
war.
Almost
daily
now
we
are
hearing
warnings,
not
in
irresponsible
quarters
either,
of
the
menace
of
Russian
aggression
and
predictions
that,
not
only
will
Alaska
be
the
"first
line,"
but
Canada
may
be
another
"Belgium."
Because
such
statements
are
presented
and
even
emphasized,
does
not,
our
correspondent's
protestation
notwithstanding,
imply
war
mongering
by
any
means.
There
is
no
blame
in
being
realistic
about
things
like
this
and
thinking
what
might
be
done
about
them,
even
though,
unfortunately,
we
generally
get
no
further
than
thinking
about
them
until
it
is
too
late
or
nearly
so.
There
are,
indeed,
disturbing
elements
in
the
world
today
that
make
themselves
hard
to
ignore
even
though
it
might
be
pleasant
to
lull
ourselves
'
into-sweet
forgetfulness.
Memories
of
unprepared-
v
...
ness
and
complacency
which
nigh
spelt
disaster
for
us
not
so
long
ago
are
still
quite
fresh
to
mem-;
"ory.
I
.PORT
DAY
THERE
ARE
MERITS
on
both
sides
of
the
Port
I
Day
argument.
Undoubtedly,
arrangements
V
for
the
event
might
have
been
more
perfect
and
'
more
persistently
followed
through.
On
the
other
'''hand,
it
was
a
few
normally
busy
men
who
gave
generously
of
their
time
and
energy
in
getting
the
affair
organized.
That
the
response
was
not
greater
was
not
entirely
their
fault.
The
indifference
was
actually
not
theirs.
On
the
other
hand,
Dr.
Large's
suggestions
should
be
helpful
and
might
be
taken
into
consideration
if
and
when
another
Port
Day
.
is
held.
Marine
events
are
difficult
enough
at
best
to
present
in
an
interesting
and
exciting
way.
It
is
to
be
presumed
that
spectator
interest
is
desired.
Otherwise
there
would
not
be
all
the
fuss
about
de-.
daring
a
civic
holiday
and
inviting
everyone
to
the
waterfront.
And
to
command
spectator
interest
;
there
must
le
action
which
people
can
see.
Everyone
must
admit,
that
this
year's
Port
Day,
for
one
;
rearon
or
another,
was
not
the
show
thai
it
might
'
have
been.
It
will
have
to
be
livened
up
consider-j
ablv
another
year.
The
Port
Day
authorities
will
;
welcome
the
suggestions
and
assistance
of
con-'
structive
critics.
NATIONAL
HIGHWAYS
r
I
0UR1STS
ARE
APT
TO
COMPARE
our
main
highways
in
un'favorabe
contrast
to
those
in
the
United
States.
But
In
this
Dominion,
practically
every
highway
must
be
financed
almost
en-
tirely
by
the
provinces.
In
the
United
States
the
'
federal
government
has
long
taken
more
than
a
superficial
interest
in
the
financing
of
super
highways.
.
The
province
of
British
Columbia
is
doing
well
to
undertake
from
its
own
resources
alone
all
the
projects
under
construction
and
on
the
program.

But
there
are
projects
such
as
the
highway
to
con-"
nect
Edmonton
via
Jasper
with
the
port
of
Prince
(
Rupert
that
definitely
warrant
Dominion
assistance
but
of
which
there
seems
little
hope
as
long
as
the
Canadian
government
clings
to
the
fetish
that
highway
assistance
must
be
considered
only
when
the
country
is
suffering
unemployment
People
in
this
day
of
spaed
and
action
expect
their
democratic
governments
to
tune
themselves
to
modern
conditions
and
move
with
more
celerity
towards
accomplishment
rather
than
continue
the
old-fashioned
but
successful
political
game
of
"wait
and
see."

Reminiscences
By

In

days

the
fate
of
