Incidentally,
Mr.
Hanson
mentioned
the
load
line
problem
which
was
at
present
troubling
Prince
Rupert.
That
port
had
been
trying
to
get
on
a
competitive
basis
with
other
ports.
Alderman
Plllsbury
would
explain
the
problem
at
great-;
er
length.
Mr.
Hanson
said
he
had
been,
proud
to
be
their
representative
and
he
had
done
his
best.
The
consti
tuency
was
the
second
largest
In
the
Dominion
and
all
the
industries
were
represented.
This
made
it
an
exceedingly
difficult
constituency
to
represent
as
there
were
problems
to
be
discussed
with
all
branches
of
the
government,
differing
greatly
In
this
respect
from
the
purely
agricultural
constituencies.
An
Interesting
statement
by
the
member
was
that,
on
a
number
of
occasions,
he
had
supported
the
Bennett
government
when
he
thought
it
in
the
best
Interests
of
the
country
to
do
so.
Especially
had
he
done
so
on
the
question
of
unemployment.
Proud
of
Flag
Mr.
Hanson
said
he
was
proud
to
be
under
the
British
flag.
As
a
member
of
the
commonwealth
of
nations,
they
were
best
able
to
work
out
the
problems
of
the
country.
I
While
there
had
been
hard
times
people
were
by
no
means
at
the
end
of
thel
rresources.
As
a
last
resource
the
government
could
conscript
wealth
as
In
war
it
had
conscripted
men.
but
he
did
not
think
this
would
be
necessary.
He
believed
that
things
were
already
Improving.
The
relief
work
was
a
great
drain
on
the
resources
of
the
country
but
people
should
not
be
pessimistic.
They
simply
had
to
make
the
best
of
the
condition.
In
all
the
prob
Icms
that
came
before
him
at
Ot-
tawa,
he
said
he
would
use
his
best
judgment
in
each
individual
case
and
support
or
oppose
each
as
It

came

Alderman
J.
H.
Plllsbury,
prcsl-
'
dent
of
the
Prince

Cham
ber
of

spoke
at
some
length
on

He
mentioned
that
It
