Mr.

the
need
of
support
in
order
that
he
and
his
associates
may
carry
on
the
campaign
commenced
in
the
east
to
secure
just
treatment
from
the
Dominion.
Already
over
two
million
dollars
has
been
secured
as
a
result
of
representations
made
by
the
delegations
that
have
gone
east,
these
men
are
thoroughly
familiar
with
the
situation
and
it
would
be
fatal
to'
the
cause
of
the
province
to
change
leaders
at
this
time.
The
Pattullo
government
has
rehabilitated
the
finances
of
the
province
and
by
the
end
of
another
term
will
have
placed
them
on
a
sound
footing
and
relieved
the
municipalities
of
the
burden
they
are
now
carrying.
The
work
is
proceeding
well
and
any
setback
would
be
contrary
to
the
best
interests
of
British
Columbia.
The
Local
Situation
In
regard
to
the
local
situation
it
may
be
pointed
out

the

of
a
big
industry.
It
would
be
safer
and
better
for
them
to
invest
their
money
in
Quebec
than
in
Prince
Rupert.
Any
new
industry
such
as
a
pulp
mill
would
look
to
the
provincial
government
for
support
in
regard
to
securing
timber
limits
for

If
the
Premier
of
the
province
should
be
defeated,
there
would
be
no
assurance
that
they
would
receive
the
needed
cooperation.
His
defeat

would
be
a

slap
at

wjould
only
mean
autocracy
and
dictatorship.
Charlie
chapman
rfrom
the
gal
lery):
"A
few
men
are
dictating
now."
Mr.
Pattullo:
"If
it
comes
to
the
time
where
it
is
necessary
to
have
a
dictator
,
I
want
to
be
the
dictator."
The
Premier
said
that
he
had
no
objection
to
Socialistic
principles.
Indeed,
he
had
advocated
vlhem
himself.
As
long
as
it
was
not
subversive
or
controverslve
of
constitutional
government,
expression
of
socialism
would
not
be
objected
to
by
him.
There
might
come
a
me
when
it
would
be
necessary
for
the
government
to
regulate
private
and
public
activities.
He
would
never,
however,
favor
the
destruction
of
personal
initiative.
As
for
the
re
quest
for
collective
bargaining,
he
wanted
to
know
all
the
implications
before
he
made
a
decision.
Also
he
could
not
personally
commit
his
government
without
consultation,
"Surely
the
record
of
Liberal
governments
over
a
period
of
twenty
years
shows
that
we
have
not
only
talked
but
also
acted
for
the
benefit
of
the
average
man,"
declared
the
Premier.
Conservative
Platform
The
Premier
then
turned
his
attention
to
the
Conservative
platform.
As
for
Mr.
Evitt,
Mr.
Pattullo
said
that
he
respected
him
very
much.
He
knew
he
was
highly
and
deservedly
esteemed.
Talk
of
not
increasing
the
pub
lic
debt
was
only
"bunkum."
In
twenty
years
the
population
of
this
province
had
doubled.
"Do
you
think
that
it
was
not
necessary
to
increase
the
public
debt
n
order
to
provide
roads,
bridges,
schools,
hospitals
and
such
services?

Regarding
forest
protection,
the

declared
that
the
government
was
stimulating
natural
regeneration
and
proposed
to
continue
lo
do
so.
In
this
regard,
operators
on
crown
granted
land
were
co-operating
with
the
forest
service.
In
the
matter
of
marketing,
Mr.
Pattullo
referred
to
the
collective
marketing
of
halibut
plan
now
In
operation
at
Prince
Rupert.
This
had
been
effected
by
the
Liberal
government.
It
had
resulted
in

prices
for

here
whereas
the
prices
In
the
markets
of
the

had
been
no
higher.
Settling:
of
Lands
The
Conservative
platform
talked
about
discouraging
of
settlement
of
remote
lands
without
roads
and
schools.
The
policy
of
the
McBrlde
government
of
alienating
land
an
dnatural
resources
had
been
to
a
large
extent
responsible
for
isolated
settlement
in
this
province.

that,
they
were
going
to
cut
out
all
public
works.
The
Conservatives
talked
about
cutting
Interest
rates.
They
talked
about
Issuing
consols.
But
did
they
know
what
consols
were?
How
much
did
they
expect
to
get
Tor
perpetual
bonds?
It
was
perrect
nonsense.
Mr.
Pattullo
mentioned
how
the
Conservative
member
for
Victoria,
Mr.
Anscomb,
shuddered
at
the
mere
mention
of
reducing
Interest.
Aid
to
municipalities
was
a
laud-
however,
.
after
the
plan
had
been
adopted
thathe
(Pattullo)
had
ordered
that
Its
being
put
into
effect
be
deferredlThen
lt
had
been
decided
to
subfnlt
It
to
the
people.
If
the
Act

been
put

hundreds
of
women
in
the
province
would
have
already
received

would

have
been
paid.

True
the
Liberal
platform
had
included
a
highway
commission
plank
but
a
program
or
Joint
public
works
had
since
been
entered
into
with
the
Dominion.
How
could
a
provincial
highway

runctlon
under
such
circumstances?
It
would

without

Further,
such
a
commission
could
not
be
appointed
until
road
building
was
placed
on
a
per
manent
basis.
"Nevertheless,"
declared
Mr.
Pat
tullo,
"the
public

department
or
this
province
was
never
better
conducted
than
it
is
today.
There
is
less
partizanship
than
there
ever
was
berore.
indeed,
I
am
constantly
receiving
protests
rrom
members
or
the
Liberal
party
complaining
about
not
getting
patronage."
Freedom
From
Politics
His
government
had
shown
Its
freedom
rrom
politics,
Mr.
Pattullo
maintained.
Specially
trained
men
had
been
secured
ror
special
work
without
respect
to
politics.
Speaking
or
social
services,
the
Premier
mentioned
work
along
preventative
as
well
as
curative
lines.
Mothers'
pensions
were
rreer
rrom
red
tape
and
more
generous
than
anywhere
else.
The
Liberal
government
or
British
Columbia
had
been
the
first
to
pay
old
age
pensions,
The
only
reason
that
a
public
utilities
commission
had
not
been
appointed
was
that
lt
would
have
cost
$1,000,000
to
secure
the
necessary
Information.
With
other
more
pressing
requirements,
it
was
simply
felt
that
this
expenditure
might
well
be
deferred.
Utility
rates
were,
however,
too
high
and
would
have
to
be
and
would
be
reviewed.
In
regard
to
restoring
confl-
be
given
the
chani
to.
Why
flaunt
this
kind
of
thing
In
front
of
the
Orientals?
"I
firmly
believe,"
declared
Mr.
Pattullo,
"that
the
Liberal
party,
for
the
time
being
at
least,
is
the
only
equipped
and
efficient
political
organization
through
which
our
people
can
be
served
govern-mentally
at
the
present
time.
We
have
a
record
of
achievement.
We
have
definite
progressive
plans
for
the
future.
We
have
the
knowledge,
experience
and
determination
to
put
these
plans
into
eect.
"As
ror
myseir,"
asserted
the
Premier,
"I
have
been
in
public
lire
ror
rorty
years.
I
should
know
something
about
it
and,
without,
I
hope,
appearing
to
be
unduly
egotistic,
I
think
I
do.
For
Common
People
"From
1010
on
the
whole
trend
or
Liberal
governmental
activity
has
been
to
place
legislation
on
the
statute
books
for
the
benefit
of
the
common
people.
Mr.
Chapman
again:
"Only
on
paper."
Mr.
Pattullo:
"Not
only
on
.paper,
my
friend,
but
In
actuality.
In
the
east,
for
Instance,
we
are
blamed
with
being
rar

radical,
But
the
east
.itseir
is
beginning
to
follow
suit."
Turning
his
attention
to
the
pro
vince's
financial
situation,
Mr.
Pattullo,
recalled!
how
the
Liberals
had
found
the
province
in
1033
at
zero.
Since
then
the
credit
and
afralrs
of
the
province
had
been
brbuEht
to
a
nolnt
where
British
Cnlnmhln
was
now
selling
Its
bonds
at
the
best
price
In
the
history
or
the
province.
British
Columbia
had
de-hianded
rrom
financial
Interests
the
same
rate
as
Ontarid
and
Quebec
enjoyed
and
had
got
it.
"We
have
put
this
province
lh
a
sound
financial
position,"
declared
the
Premier,
"We
have
Improved

Mr.
Pattullo
mentioned
the
local
pulp
mill
project
and
there
were
titters.
"I
would
suggest
that
you
should
not
scoff
and
laugh
at

attempts
being
made
to
establish

Do
not
forget
that

There
is
no

tavorable
location
than

for
a

Present
negotiations
for
such
an
industry
here
are

We
are

to

"How
about
the
Yukon?"
Mr
Pattullo
was
asked.
"Yes,
and
I
want
to
tell
you
about
that,"
answered
the
Pre
mler.
"This
government
has
visions
of
greater
and
greater
development.
Those
who
want

In

can

Joining

of
British
Columbia
and
the
Yukon.
the
Premier
believed,
would
be
of
mutual
benefit.
However,
the
rights
of
everybody
would
be
con
sldered.
The
proposal
would
have
to

both
in

and
