Hanson
Asks
Subsidy
Trans-Pacific
Service
For
OTTAWA.
June
16:
Olof
Hanson,
M.P.
for
Skeena,
last
week
made
a
plea
In
the
House
of
Commons
for
a
share
of
the
trans-Pacific
traffic
for
Prince
Rupert.
The
House
discussed
the
subsidies
given
to
steamship
companies.
"I
notice
in
the
case
of
the
Canada-New
Zealand
service
there
has
been
an
increase
of
$100,000,"
said
Mr.
Hanton.
"Is
this
for
any
particular
company
or
particular
port
or
to
British
North
America
ports
in
general?"
Mr.
Euler
stated
it
was
to
the
Canadian-Australasian
line,
half
of
which
was
owned
by
the
Canadian
Pacific
and
the
other
half
by
the
Union
Steamship
Company.
The
Canadian
ports
of
call
were
Van-
:ouver
and
Victoria.
Mr.
Hanson
complained
that
there
was
no
mention
made
of
Prince
Rupert
In,
v
the
contracts.
The
minister
said
there
might
be
calls
at
Prince
Rupert
in
the
Brl
tish
Columbia
and
China
service.
'It
Is
not
necessary
to
remind
he
minister,"
said
Mr.
Hanson,
"because
he
is
aware
of
the
fact
hat
we
have
a
Pacific
port
which
Is
served
by
tha
Canadian
National
Railways.
That
port
Is
equal
to
any
Dn
the
Pacific
Coast
and,
when
the
question
of
subsidies
is
under
consideration
by
this
or
any
future
government,
we
should
at
least
give
some
consideration
to
a
port
that
is
served
by
the
nationally
owned
railway
a
port
that
has
facilities
to
carry
Canadian
trade
and
to
bring
back
the
products
of
other
countries.
I
have
no
criticism
to
make
with
regard
to
subsidies
but
I
would
Impress
upon
the
minister
that
Vancouver
and
Victoria
are
not
the
only
ports
which
should
receive
attention.
There
is
the
port
served
by
the
Canadian
National
and
behind
that
railway
system
Is
a
hinterland
which
statesmen
in
previous
years
have
regarded
as
valuable
enough
to
warrant
devel
opment.
It
Is
up
to
the
statesmen
of
today
and
of
the
future
to
find
out
whether
that
opinion
Is
really
sound
and,
if
It
Is,
to
do
something
to
assist
In
the
development
of
the
hinterland
of
British
Columbia.
I
ask
the
minister
to
make
special
note
of
that
and
to
realize
that
we
cannot
overlook
the
national
railway."
Mr.
Euler:
"I
must
congratulate
my
friend
upon
the
case
he
put
up
for
his
good
port
of
Prince
Rupert.
As
he
knows
we
are
not
apt
to
make
promises
except
this,
that
we
will
certainly
give
every
con
sideration
to
his
representations
when
the
time
comes."
