Receives
Letter
From

The
city

at
Its
meeting
last

heard
a
letter
from
A.
M.
D.
Falrbalm,
secretary
to
Mrs.
J.
W.

wife
of
the
Lieutenant
Governor
of
British
Columbia,
In
which
the
use
of
Empire
goods
as
far
as
possible
as
a
patriotic
duty
was
urged.
The
communication
urged
British
Columbia
people
to
first
demand
British
Columbia
goods
and
then
those
of
the
Empire.
After
some
discussion,
the
council
adopted
a
suggestion
of
Aid.
S.
D.
Macdonald
that
the
matter
be
further
placed
before

bodies
of
the

with
a
view
to
receiving
their
support.
Aid.
G.
B.
Casey
felt
that
the
move
as
outlined
in
the
letter
was
a
wise
one.
He
considered
that
un
ity
of
the
British
Empire
represented
the
last
challenge
to
Bolshevism
which
he
believed
the
world
was
not
yet
ready
to
embrace.
