Neither Party Has Courage or Policy with Regard to Pacific Great Eastern, Perry Declared VICTORIA. March 1. H. G. Perry. Liberal member for Fort George, speaking on the government's loan bill in the Legislature yesterday, made an appeal for the extension of the Pacific Crept Eastern Railway to Prince George. In doing so, he said that he. realized the country and government was not prepared to back up such a move but. he argued, that it would be good business for the government to do it. In this connection he said that, while he was; ready to praise the business men of the province who had taken portions as directors of the railway, he did not approve of the methods they pursued. He said that the govern- , .v ; . ment must take full responsibility for the under aklng. It must do so. !lso felt that the government was lacking In political courage In not proceeding with the llr.e to Prince George and ln the fact of not taking a atand as to any policy with respect to the matter. In this connection, he felt, the Conserva-tlvea were Just at tacking In policy as ths government neither more or less.
