I cannot say definitely. The die has not been cast. But I will tell you that, as soon as a number of things we have in mind have been settled on a safe and solid basis, we shall hold a general election. I look to the Liberals of Prince Rupert to again nominate me as their candidate and I shall ask the public here to give me the same measure of support they have given me heretofore."' So said Premier T. D. Pattullo in addressing a large public meeting of his constituents of Prince Rupert at Moose Hall Wednesday night. Mr. Pattullo confided that he had been considering the possibility of retiring after the next election. However, he immediately dissipated this idea w.hen he intimated Jocularly that, after considering It, he . . . l. - -1 I -I 1 I A t 1 iiau ueciueu uiuw aircr ne naa won the next election, he would! probably go on to win the one following. The Premier expressed himself I as being opposed ' to the proposal that had bcert made by the Conservative ! leader that the represen- tation hi the Legislature should be reduced. The reason for his opposition tos this proposal, Mr. Pattullo explained, was that It would centralize control in Vancouver) which already had fair represen-l tatlon today. "As sure as the re-1 presentation Is cut down, the, people of the outside ridings will i have to go hats In hand to Vancouver for what they want," declared the Premier. "I believe the representation is on a fair basis to day." I I Speaking of general public problems, Mr. Pattullo told of efforts wnicn naa Dcen maae to secure readjustment of the British North America Act to give more equitable treatment to British Columbia. It had been a long fight to secure better treatment from Ottawa to and some measure or success had already been attained. 1 As for unemployment ftllef. Mr. Pattullo expressed the opinion that this was primarily a function of the federal government although1 the provinces and municipalities' must co-operate. He did not think the Dominion had been carrying Its fair share of unemployment1 relief. Had the Dominion not entered the income tax field, and it had never been Intended at Confederation that it should, the province of Ilrltlsh Columbia would never have had to go to Ottawa to borrow money but could raise its requirements from income tax and the people would have had to pay no more than they were today under the two income taxes. "I still stand for a policy of work nnrl wnces." declared Mr. Pattullo. "I still say that the national credit could be used to carry out a Do-1 minion program of public works.
