OF
GOVERNOR'S
EDITORIAL
NEED
FOR
PROTEST
It
is
announced
that
the
Peace
River
Block
of
British
Columbia
will
not
be
included
in
the
bonus
to
be
paid
farmers
who
grow
wheat
on
the
prairies
this
year.
In
view
of
the
circumstances
we
are
of
opinion
that
the
protest
will
be
so
strong
against
this
ruling
that
an
amendment
will
be
made
to
the
bill
before
it
passes.
The
Peace
River
Block
of
British
Columbia
is
handicapped
more
than
any
other
part
of
the
country
in
that
it
is
farther
from
the
point
of
shipment.
For
years
a
western
outlet
has
been
asked
which
would
remedy
this
and
put
them
within
a
reasonable
distance
of
a
shipping
port.
The
Peace
Block
is
in
Canada
just
as
much
as
is
Northern
Alberta
and
the
conditions
are
similar
except
that
the
B.
C.
handicap
is,
if
anything,
greater.
We
hope
that
Premier
Bennett
will
sec
this
and
will
decide
to
change
his
ruling
and
include
the
northern
section
of
B.C.
in
the
provisions
of
the
bill.
It
docs
not
seem
right
that
the
farmers
on
one
side
of
the
boundary
line
should
get
the
bonus
and
those
on
the
other
side,
where
conditions
arc
exactly
similar,
be
cut
off,
especially
when
it
is
considered
that
all
the
grain
in
that
part
of
the
country
has
to
be
shipped
out
through
Alberta.
