has,
no
doubt,
been
disap-
iKrintlng
to
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
but
we
are
of
the
opinion
that
our
organisation
Is
quite
capable
of
utilising
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
in
the
handling
of
grain
over
a
per
iod
of
years
as
any
other
grain
handling
organisation.
On
such
ba
sis
we
have
-no
intention
of
relinquishing
our
existing
lease
in
con
nection
with
Rupert
terminal
as
now
In
effect
with
the
Dominion
government
which
does
not
expire

August

"In
regsro
to
the
movement
of
the
1931
crop
through
Prince
Rupert,
at
this
stage
I
am
not
in
a
po
sition
to
make
any
prediction
as
a-areat
deal
depends
upon
the
nature
of
crop
harvested
in
Alberta
as
well
as
market
conditions
but,
witn
rea
sonable
conditions
prevailing,
we
feel
satisfied
that
an
increased
handling
can
be
anticipated
this
coming
season
as
compared
with
the
past
two
years.
"We
are
of
the
opinion
in
having
moved
over
13.000.000
bushels
of
grain
through
Prince
Rupert
during
the
past
five
years
that
such
contribution
to
local
shipping
con
ditions
should
not
be
overlooKeo.
when
discussing
any
disappointment
as
to
the
light
volume
handled
during
the
past
two
seasons.
Insofar
as
our
Alberta
Wheat
Pool
is
concerned,
such

over
43,-000
wheat
producing
farmers
of
Alberta
or
approaimately
one
half
of
the
fanners
of
our
province
and.
In
spite
of
criticism
which
has
been
broadcast
during
Tecent
months
against
our
organisation
arising
principally
out
of
the
1919
slump
in
wheat
nrices
which
condition
ap
plied
to
practically
every
other

commodity,
our
Pool
members
have
Indicated
that
they
Intend
to
continue
to
support
their
marketing
organisation
and
have
no
intention
of
reverting
to

system
of

their

Undoubtedly
depression
In

prices
aver
the

has
been
very
disappointing
to
the
