DAILY EDITION. aeGiper Friday, August 8, 1919 New Leader Of Liberals. Mackenzie King is chosen leader of the Liberal party in Canada, and it is probable that the choice was the best that could} } be made. He has undoubted ability and plenty of self-contidence.| He comes of a fighting stock, being a grandson of the rebel, Sir! William Lyon McKenzie who fought the Family Compact in Upper| Canada and came near being hanged as a reward. of labor affairs and has recently published a book dealing with | his investigations along that line. He was the only young man whose name was before the convention. A number of people had hoped that Fielding would have been the choice because he had been a unionist. almost evenly divided, showing that the unionist tendency among the Liberals was strong. Will Probably Be The Future Premier. People realize that when the leader of the Liberal party was being,chosen it was the future premier of Canada that was being chosen. The convention was representative of the whole of the party in Canada. The British Columbia delegation was headed by the Premier of the province who took a prominent part in the proceedings. King is young enough so that even if the Liberals should |x defeated at the next election, he will still be in the running a will have a chance to lead them to victory at some futuri Ignorance Regarding Position of This Port. The report of the sub-committee of the Canadian Econum Commission in regard to trade with Siberia, is very discouraging. Th convention was time. it is a somewhat delayed report but it says that there is no dependable currency in Siberia and there are nu cargves fo export. The result is that no medium of exchange can be ar rangel with that country. The same report suggests that as soon as stable cond return a line of steamships with Vancouver should be established for freight and passengers. It does not mention Prince Rupert. Since the commission does not know enough about Canada to realize that the best trade route with Canada is way of Prince Rupert, it is possible that it is equally ignorant of all the condi- tions in Siberia and that even now trade conditions are not so bad as represented. There is a mental anastigmajism among many oflicials in the east in regard to routes of trade. and for that reason it is very desirable that when appointments are made men with open minds shall be chosen. Some time ago a proposal to appuint « representative from Prince Rupert on the trade commission was ruthlessly turned down. Officialdom at Ottawa does not wish to see any good here. Apparently w2 have to fight for recognition for every inch of the ground is contested. States Ci-) do it, Why Not Canada? in the fact that Trade Commission says if is impossible to do business in Siberia, the United State- ; ued spite of the Canadian is selling goods val at four million dollars a month to ti \ statement of the exports from the United States to! Siberia shows that for the year ending May 31, 1919. the amount suld to that country was $31,000,000 and the imports from tl country. country for the same time was $2.000.000. four millions. For May the expo to Siberia was If the United States can do business, surely the commissic We have the future. If we wait until the United States geis established it will be useless to try te get the business. Had a Prince Rupert man gone-to Siberia on the commission we ventur to believe he would have seen opportunities there that he would have been able to draw to the attention of the Government. Back to Old Time Trade and Barter. it might be necessary for the Government to place a busi- ness man in Viadivestok who would sell Canadian goods that are | delivered to him there, getting in exchange Siberian money. With | 41- ers would not say that for Canadians it is impossible. to Ook t rh this he could purchase Siberian goods to 1 the return cargoes. | He would have to be a man who would be able to meet the Oriental system of bargaining. All Orientals do that. They always ask more than they expect to get and they offer less than they expect to pay. It is their habit and these doing business with them must play their own game. With the right man in| charge in Viadivostok cargoes could ‘.e secured and shipped to Canada i exchange for Canadian goods and Prince Rupert would be the port through which to ship. = es PHONE | A.B.C.
