' That It the question every voter must ask himself before June 20. Isolated out here behind the Rocky Mountains and threo thousand miles from the political, financial and population centres of Canada, this province has struggled and fought for thirty five years for Its very ex stence. Canada's tariff policy has prevented British Columbia from enjoying commercial relations with our natural and adjacent trading markets Washington, Oregon and California. And Canada's freight rate structure is designed in a manner which facilitates the movement of Western raw products EASTWARD and Eastern manufactured products WESTWARD, disregarding altogethor the natural short haul In and out io Pacific tidewater. So that since joining Confederation, this province has been the outpost, the tall end of Business Canada. The Panama Canal entirely changed all this by dividing Canada into two transportation slopes, and therefore Inlo two trading areas; the Eastern area to be served from the Atlantic and the Western area to be sjrved from tho Pacific. lut It Is one thing to have a natural heritage, or a moral right, and It Is another to collect that heritage or enforce that right. Notwithstanding British Columbia's claim to greater recognition from Business Canada, the executives of every large financial, commercial, political and transportation corporation In Canada are personally Interosted and personally live In Eastern Canada. Although Vancouver Is the third city In Canada, theje is not a Vancouver director on the Canadian National, on the C.P.R., on the Canadian Grain Board, on the Dominion Railway Board, or on any one of the large institutions of Canada. Under such conditions, what chance has B.C. to get proper recognition to even get a hearing? ' ,') V, llllllllllllllllllllllltllllffl t Rates er Pay Rolls 4? ". CAN BRITISH COLUMBIANS REPUDIATE PREMIER OLIVER? Hi The only chance we have of developing this end of Canada within the next genera lion is to get out and fight for recognition, fight for equalized freight rates, an .equal charge for equal service applying to other parts of Canada, fight for free and unrestricted use of the Panama Canal, fight for representation on financial and national directorates, and fight for the right of this province to develop and grow. v. Whether one likes or dislikes Premier Oliver; whether one'agrees or disagrees with him on other questions (and the Vancouver Sun disagrees with him on many thinft) It must be admitted: . ' " k 1. John Oliver's homely common sense and dogged fighting qualities particularly adapt him for a champion of equity and justice. 2. That he is fighting for conditions which are fundamental to the prosperity of British Columbia. Without these conditions, we can. make no real progress. 3. That greet progress has already been made by him in the case of grain rates, grain elevators, and harbor Improvements; and, working with a sympathetic government at Ottawa, there is every reason to look for and expect even more favorable consideration In the immediate future. 4. That to replace Premier Oliver at this particular time, with either Mr. Bowser or Gen. McRae would, In effect, say to official Ottawa that we were not sincerely Interested in Premier Oliver's campaign. But this Is not so. We are Interested, vitally Interested.
