B.
C.
Members
in
Urging
Appointment
of
Commissioner
to
Take
Charge
of
Affairs
in
This
Province
With
Wide
Powers
In
a
brief
but
incisive
speech
in
the
House
of
Commons,
Olof
Hanson
arraigned
the
provincial
government
for
what
he
designated
its
incapacity
in
the
handling
of
relief
money
and
urged
that
the
federal
government
take
charge
of
its
own
affairs
in
British
Columbia
instead
of
entrusting
them
to
the
Tolmie
government.
According
to
the
re
port
In
Hansard
he
said:
"As
a
member
from
British
Columbia
I
am
familiar
with
the
situation
in
Burnaby.
I
was
there
about
two
weeks
ago
and
could
not
help
seeing
that
ths
situation
is:
very
serious.
But.
as
my
colleague
I
from
Vancouver
North
'Mr.
Munm
!
has
said,
conditions
are
the
same
throughout
British
Columbia
"In
Prince
Rupert
the
same
condition
prevails.
I
have
no
crlticbm
to
offer
of
the
federal
government
;
I
think
they
were
sincere
last
year
when
they
voted
money
for
unemployment
relief,
but
I
must
agree
with
other
speakers
when
they
say
that
the
money
Is
being
misused
In
British
Columbia.
If
anything
I
believe
this
government
should
be
congratulated
upon
stopping
payments
to
the
province
of
British
Columbia,
because
I
think
It
has
been
discovered
that
Ihe
British
Columbia
government
not
capable"
of
handling
the
money.
Not
only
In
Burnaby
but
In
Prince
Rupert
and
other
places
money
was
spent
for
the
construction
of
camps
while
those
who
actually
needed
relief
could
not
get
work
at
all.
"Most
of
the
men
In
Burnaby
and
nearby
places
received
only
16
days'
employment.
Sixteen
days
In
the
fall
of
the
year
Js
not
sufficient
to
keep
a
man
for
the
winter,
so
I
think
if
a
man
could
be
sent
to
British
Columbia
to
take
charge
of
affairs,
as
has
been,
suggested,
It
would
be
a
great
help
to
the
country
at
large,
to
the
province
of
British
Columbia
and
to
the
municipality."
The
speech
followed
similar
addresses
In
the
House
from
Southern
B.
C.
members
who
urged
that
drastic
steps
be
taken
Immediately
