"Japan

the

about

a

over
the

When
W.
M.
Mott,
Member
for
New
Westminster,
was
speaking
in
the
House
on
March
1,
1950,
he
was
calling
for
harbor
im-
movement
for
his
nnrt
nn
the
Fraser.
He
said:
"Before
the
war
the
largest
number
of
deep-sea
boats
that
came
into
our
port
was
550.
We
are
now
faced
with
this
problem
of
trade
that
will
arise
with
Japan
and
China
from
where
most
of
our
trade
came
before
the
war."
Then
a
Vancouver
dispatch
to
the
Nelson
Daily
News,
dated
December
7,
1950,
reads:
"Sale
of
7,000,000
bushels
of
Canadian
wheat,
valued
at
$14,000,000,
to
Japan
was
confirmed
here
today.
The
first
20
cargoes
will
be
loaded
here
in
