At the United Farmers' convention the subject came up and was held over, although a resolution of sympathy was passed with the farmers who found themselves up against unfair competition. As a matter of fact, there is practically no Oriental immigration today. The bars are up against all except a few students and men of the better class. The oppositon to Orientals is both industrial and political. Those farmers and merchants and laborers who have to compete with them object to their being in the country. Also there is the political opposition which capitalizes the other and intensifies it. The difficulty is that often the very men who express themselvos as opposed to the Oriental are the ones who jwtronize them. Any talk of removing the ones now here is foolish and as a great many of them are already land owners it would seem futile to object to their purchasing land. However, we must watch our governments and see that they do not slacken in .the regulfttiooB keeping out those who would come. ASSISTING IMMIGRATION From A. SNELLMAN, Sec.

In 1928 a total of $14,000,000 was voted by parliament for harbor commissions in Quebec, Saint John and Halifax. Quebec received $8,500,-000 of that sum; while $5,000,000 went to Saint John and $500,000 to Halifax.

If we had a policy of opening up the Peace River country throuch British Columbia Ft would do more fof immigration than any plan to aB6ist them to come to the country. We beffeve in settling up our lands but not in paying people to do it, or in offering special inducements to the settlers to come except to give them free farms on the homestead planr as is done at present. The Letter Box OBJECTS TO HOWE POL1CV Editor, Dally News: Considerable discussion been heard by Hon. 8. L. Howe new regulation in my point of view of these regulation. I'm myself, as one of the fishermen absolutely protesting against the Hort. S. L. Howe regulation. 1st it means monopoly control for the canneries for this fishing industry. Second, it means no cannery license for the fishermen. So we got to sell our fish what ever the price canneries wish for. The last point close door policy. Heavenly truth, what we need closed door policy for the conservation of tlvte rotten canneries in the pwena River. No, a thousand times no. We want the open door policy for cannery licenses and open door policy for fishing licenses for Whites and Indians citizens. S. L., Howe would do fat better if he says no license of these canneries not operating and no fishing license either. Now Mr. Editor I will point you how many in the Skeena not been operated canning purpose last year. B.C. Cannery not been op-rrating since it has been burnt down. Alexandria B.C. Packers cannery not been operated at least 15 years. Cunningham cannery also not been onerated for nnmhr ui years ana v. n. cannery oh! I 'cost of the same amount lorgot all about Oceanic and Dominion there is two more. Now I ask the public at large if this Is Justice, and right, to granting cannery and fishing licenses of these canneries and talk about close door policy. Now at last It is up to us fishermen and glll-netters at least to Join in the U.B.C.B.F.A. and help us in our trouble which is facing often and as now. Thanking for you, Editor Dally News, place for this letter. 000,000 is for Vancouver, $10,000,000 for Montreal. $5,000,000 for Halifax, $,000,000 for Three Rivers, and r$2,ooo,000 for Chicoutlml, Two r . , a . 1 ysurs Rgu mis mat pun recciveu $2,000,000 for improvement. More Money Needed Programs have been drawn up for the expenditure of these monies, but It Is clear this will by no means carry out the complete plans, and each year further appropriations will have to be made to provide for the handling of increased traffic. At Montreal the greatest program of expansion in history is now under way. Before the 1930 season opens the east end of the harbor will be completely changed. Three new piers, larger than uny at pp-wnt existing, will be constructed. Three shipping berths will cost $2,000,000. The electric railway system in the harbor limits will be extended at a Grain conveyor systems, berthing facilities and other improvements will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000,-000 before they ar&f lnlshed. Already 15,000,000 bushels of wheat can be stored In the tremendous elevators which form an Imposing skyline, but still more additions are planned. Quebec has ceaselessly sought a greater share of the handling of general .Canadian business and agitated for a revision of the railway tariff which it felt discriminated against it. In the fall of 1027 the Board of Railway Commissioners remedied this condition by according Quebec the same rates on grain " ' export. As a result, a decided improvement has been recorded in recent ties taxed during the past year to years. In 1928 imports declined the very utmost, and prospects that slightly, but exports went up nearly the volume of Canadian trade will : 50 per cent. In that year 11,003.761 cpntinue to increase, tremendous j bushels of grain were handled, activity is now going on in Canada's Elevators there now can acoommo-major seaports. Plans for Increased date 4,000,000 bushels, with con-capacity and for the complete re- veyors, marine towers and grain galleries. In addition, a cold storage warehouse, with the main building having a capacity of half a million cubic feet, and a fish house equipped for the freezing of one million pounds of fish, has been constructed. By fall of this year four berths for the largest type of passenger steamers, two additional berths for large ocean freigthers, and two berths for canal-sized vessels, will be completed.

The result was that Sacramento people were recognized in any part of-the state and the big event obtained the best advertising it could possibly have received. All this is to suggest that in Prince Kupert there ought every person living here speak well of the city, and try to make it better.
