DAILY EDITION POLITICAL GLAD TO HAVE WORK Wednesday, Jan. 21, 1931 A new strike of copper ore has been located In the inlet close to It seems there will be a big political contest this spring in the English parliament. The suggestion of Premier Bennett of Canada that Britain should impose a tax on foodstuffs for the benefit of the Empire and of Canada in particular gave encouragement to the Conservatives of that country so that they are endeavoring to have the question decided by the people at an election. Both the Liberal and Labor parties are opposed to protection of the kind suggested and the Liberals are supporting the Labor Government and preventing the Conservatives from turning them out. In the meantime 'there is.uch a momentous question as the granting of a constitution to India being undertaken by the MacDonald Government, giving the Conservatives plenty of opening for attack. ; It seems as if the MacDonald Government will carry the India measure through the House of Commons but there is doubt of its passing the; House of Lords. Should their Lordships decide to refuse to make the India bill law, there is possibility of the government appealing to the people against them on that question, thus getting away from the Empire contest which promised them trouble. An election seems to be anticipated in Britain within the ypar and it will be an intensely interesting one. The fact that Canada has taken a hand in it makes it more than ever interesting to people of this country. Prince Rupert is glad to have the overhaul of the big steamers done at the -local dry dock and it is to be hoped that the "policy of giving work of this kind to their own dock will be continued by the Canadian National. It is hard to realize how any business concern could think of handing out work to outside yards when they have one of their own which seems to be managed efficiently and which does excellent work. No private company would hand out work to competing yards when it had a yard of its own. Yet we are told the Canadian National Railways is not in politics. For $200 . . . Can you equal this?
