D. Pattullo on Saturday afternoon when having an Infor mal talk with members of the two local Liberal executives. "When a person becomes a pessimist it is time to He down and die. However, ln British Columbia we have every , reason for optimism. What we need Is a better, way of handling the unemployed situation." The Premier said he had again and again urged a line of policy on Ottawa. British Columbia could not begin to attempt to take care jof the unemployed coming to the 1 province from other parts of Canada. No fewer than 1500 came I during the month that the men were occupying the post office miiiaine ai Vancouver ana. 11 lrad becrT" tlvenork, aTTothef three thousand would Immediately have arrived. It was an impossible situation. Already many easterners had been given employment, displacing many local people. ' Mr. Pattullo recounted the part he had taken In connection with the Vancouver demonstration. He had urged' upon Ottawa to stop the illegal transportation of men to British Columbia. He had also urged on every possible oc casion that they lay out a piesrat nf wnrk rnvprincr severai'vears sa that the province would know what to expect. A broad" policy was needed just now. he claimed. Highway work could be started earlier. This year the province had to meet a two million dollar bond maturity and they got no help from Ottawa for highways except that for mining roads. ; Mr. Pattullo referred to the poll-'cy of the government. He said the Legislature this fall would be asked tto make an appropriation for a drilling program In the Peace River. All the authorities had advised that the drilling be done as the geological Indications were favor able. Kelowna Convention The visitor also urged attendance at the Liberal convention at 'Kelowna in August. At the next '.session of the Legislature provislon 1 would be made for the Institution' of a public utilities commission but 'he would ask the Kelowna conven tion to drop the highway commission Idea as beln.3 a useless expense. If the highway work were done in one or two 1 districts It might be all right but the work had to be carried out In every con stituency and a commission could not handle the work efficiently., -In this constituency the sum of $35,000 had been allocated ln addition to maintenance work and a considerable part of this would be spent In carrying on the hlgh- iway to Prudhomme Lake,. Queen Charlotte Islands, Port Simpson jand other points would also get some new work.
