The British people are so tolerant that they are-some-times- t thought to be weak. A mere whisper in Russia would have sent him to Siberia or at the very least to a prison without trial, He probably would not have escaped with his life. Now Gandhi has been arrested and will doubtless be convicted of conspiracy or gome similar crime and it is probable he will serve a long term in prison unless he agrees to cease his activities. CHANGE OF VIEW The tendency in the past year or two has been for the big financial and industrial men of the country to sjteak rather pessimistically of the future. Now we find them changed. In a new year message the president of the C. P. R. indicates that he sees the light shining for 1932. Undoubtedly the turn has come although Prince Rupert has not yet begun to feel it. But our improvement will come. We did not feel the depression until long after others, bo it was to be expected the improvement would also linger, so far as the city is concerned.

Mayor Orme thanked the alder-manic board, one and all, for their excellent work during the past year. He complimented the alder men on the manner In which they had "played the game" both on behalf of the city and one among the pther. The council had accorded him the mayor) every assistance and encouragement during a trying year. They had all worked conscientiously and fairly and he wlsh- ed success to all who might seek ire-election at the polls next week. I As for himself, from personal ln-1 terests, it might be Inadvisable for him to seek re-election. Yet. under the circumstances, he fejt that he I should at least offer his services for another year.

The governments had given authorization to the $100,000 appropriation and had approved all details. Then, when the work was about half done, they closed down suddenly and said that nothing more could be done. It all seemed Impossible to understand. excuses at this late date would not help. Aid. Pullen thought the city rhould Insist in strong terms that the original appropriation be restored. nNo matter who might be respon sible for the cut, Aid. Macdonald felt that justice should be demanded and no stone should be left unturned in bringing this about. The motion of Aid. Collartto wire to Premier Bennett at Calgary was then carried unanimously. Agreement Signed Meantime, the council decided to sign tho agreement with the provincial and federal governments on the basis of the $47,500 appropriation for unemployment relief. Of the total of $47,500, the federal government pays fifty percent through the provincial government. The remaining fifty percent is shared between the provincial government and city. A letter from Hon. W. A. McKen-lie accompanying the agreement form stated that, immediately the agreement had been signed, the government checks would be Issued, Mo further contribution under the oreseit net could' be expected from the governments, Mr. McKenzie pointed oui. Motion authorizing the signing it the $47,500 agreement was made by Aid. McCutchcon and Aid. Pllls-'jury and carried unanimously. At the suggestion of Mayor Orme and on motion of Aid. Rudderham md Aid. Co.lart formal application for the $100,000 originally agreed upon was made.
