have
reinforced
their
position
in
the
face
of
hee
conditions
by
the
Introduction
of
economies
and
increased
efficiency
in
every
department.
A
'tlmulatlng
feature
in
the
handling
of
the
adverse
conditions
prevailing
during
1931
has
been
the
whole-hearted
co-operation
of
all
members
of
the
working
forces
of
these
operations
to
meet
the
exigency
of
the
situation
with
a
maximum
of
employment
and
a
minimum
of
wage
reduction.
The
direct
result
of
this
courageous
concentration
of
purpose
has
been
the
achievement
of
a
standard
of
efficiency,
and
low-cost
of
operation
that
is
unequalled
anywhere
in
the
world.
The
Inspiration
of
these
activities
is
reflected
in
all
branches
of
the
mining
Industry
throughout
the
district.
Its
Import
is
greater
activity
and
greater
prosperity
for
the
mining

In
the
northwestern

when
conditions

was
apparent
before

came.
"'Production

"However,
as
I
see
it,
the
thing
we
should
most
earnestly
strive
for
j
the
establishment
of
a
regular
deep
sea
shipping
connection,
in
order
that
the
beginnings
of
a
deep

commerce
may
be
made.
Once
this
is
secured
we
may
look
for
a
development
of
the
port
and
of
the
district
along
the
lines
which
must
have
been
visualized
by
the
bulld-rs
of
the
Grand
Trunk
Pacific
Railway.
It
is
warranted
by
existing
conditions,
namely,
the
resources
!
the
country
tributary
to
this
division
of
railway,
the
high
stand-rds
to
which
the
road
is
built,
terminal
facilities
already
existing
nd.
finally,
the
geographic
post-'on
of
Prince
Rupert
gives
it
great
natural
advantages,
in
many
re-pec
ts
over
any
other
Pacific
Coast
terminus.
"I
repeat,
the
securing
of
this
shipping
connection
should
be
the
bject
of
our
united
and
most
car-nest
endeavor.
It
should
have
been
in
existence
years
agp.
but
has
been
blocked
by
prejudice
and
outside
influences;
and
it
is
up
to
us
to
work
without
ceasing,
until
that
potential
trade
to
which
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
is
so
Justly
entitled,
becomes
a
fact."
