of

conference
of

of

"Although
the
political
situations
in
central
B.C.
and
Alaska
are
not
alike,
they
are
anala-gous,"
he
told
the
200
delegates
and
citizens
at
the
annual
dinner.
"We
arc
on
the
outer
edge
to
and
have
to
make
our
appeals
to
on
the
grounds
of
Justice
and
economic
soundness.
We
need
more
people,
and
that
applies
to
British
Columbia
and
all
Alaska.
"The
neighborllness
that,
exists
between
central
B.C.
and
Alaska,
should
and
will
be
translated
Into
a
much
closer
relationship.
We
hope
that
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
will
be
utilized
to
every
extent
that
Is
economically
sound,
and
on
a
durable
basis,"
he
declared.
"However,
Alaska
is
too
large
and
important
to
be
tied
down
to
any
one
port
or
route
of
com
mutation.
But
we
propose
to
proceed
on
the
idea
to
help
ourselves
to
advance,
and
to
develop
our
neighborllness
In
the
process.
"We
feel
that
Prince
Rupert
Is
a
connecting
link
between
two
politically
remote
areas.
We
on
the
frontier
have
to
be
self-reliant.

Is
