Appeal
For
Action
In
Coastal
Defence
-
"The
most
important
road
from
a
military
standpoint
in
the
country
today
is
the
one
which
would
connect
I'rinrc
Rupert
with
the
interior"
is
the
statement
Premier
T.
I).
Pattullo
made
twice
in
public
during
his
visit
to
Prince
Rupert
this
week.
No
doubt,
the
statement
was
made
by
the
Premier
with
full
knowledge
of
the
situation
and
the
implications
involved.
"The
most
important
road
from
a
military
standpoint
in
the
country"
and
what
is
being
done
about
it?
Is
any
action
being
taken
at
all?
Is
it
being
taken
info
consideration
in
Canada's
defence
program
for
the
pacific
coast?
This
is
a
question
which
Prince
Rupert
may
well
feel
directly
concerned
about.
Jt
is
a
matter
of
real
importance
today
to
the
whole
of
the
Pacific
coast
and
almost
equally
so
to
Alaska.
In
fact
it
may
w
ell
be
considered
a
vital
part
of
the
whole
defence
scheme
of
this
coast.
Prince
Rupert
is
being
armed
in
various
ways.
An
air
base
has
been
established
on
the
Queen
Charlotte
Islands
for
the
protection
of
this
part
.of
the
coast.
Another
air
base
is
nearing
completion
at
Prince
Rupert.
Troops
are
stationed
here
for
the
pro-tection
of
the
port.
Naval
vessels
in
considerable
number
patrol
the
waters
north
and
south
and
off
to
the
west.
We
arc
establishing
our
first
line
of
defence.
All
the
while
nrc
we
looking
to
our
line
of
communication,
the
most
vital
factor
of
which
is
this
very
road
which
should
connect
us
with
the
rear,
"the
most
important
road
from
a
military
standpoint
in
the
country
today,"
the
road
which
not
only
gives
access
and
egress
to
the
north
coast
of
Rritish
Columbia
but
might
well
be
a
life
line
for
Alaska
in
the
event
of
conflict
in
the
Pacific
area.
This
road
from
Prince
Rupert
to
the
interior
has
got
beyond
the
point
where
it
is
to
be
merely
considered
a
desirable
tourist
artery
or
even
a
means
of
opening
up
the
natural
resources
of
the
district.
It
is
now
concededly
a
vital
defence
measure.
It
is
no
longer
a
luxury.
It
is
now
a
grim
necessity.
Which
being
the
case,
there
is
no
time
for
further
delay.
There
may
be
some
who
still
think
the
war
is
far
away
from
Prince
Rupert.
There
were
countries
a
short
vear
ago
that
thought
war
was
far
away
from
them
They
dallied
along
unprepared,
unconcerned,
complacent.
TUere
are
potent
factors
in
the
international
situation
today
which
might
very
conceivably
bring
war
to
lluc
shores
in
a
comparatively
short
time.
It
is
now
higji
tiihc
that
something
was
being
done
about
IhN
yery
important
defence
matter
of
the
road
from
Prinze
Rupert
to
the
interior.
Conceivably,
even
a
year
from
now
might
be
too
late.
If
for
no
other
reason
than
that
of
the
security
of
this
port,
it
appears
that
now
not
later
is
the
time
for
Prince
Rupert
people
to
interest
themselves
in
the
construction
of
the
road
more
actively,
more
insistently
than
they
have
ever
before.
The
highway
from
Prince
Rupert
is
not
one
of
those
things
that
can
be
passed
off
as
something
we
can
do
without
until
after
the
war
is
over.
It
is
an
undertaking
of
quite
evident
vital
national
importance.
Prince
Rupert
is
justified
in
pressing
that
immediate
action
be
taken
in
regard
to
this
highway
and
that
it
be
commenced
with
no
further
delay
and
completed
as
speedily
as
possible.
Probably,
the
authorities
are
cognizant
of
the
vital
importance
of
this
road
in
the
Pacific
defence
scheme.
If
any
pressure
from
this
end,
however,
is
necessary
it
should
be
freely
and
fully
applied.
The
war
is
spreading.
If
the
United
States
gets
in
it,
it
will
probably
be
a
world
war
with
a
Rattle
of
the
Pacific
as
well
as
a
Rattle
of
the
Atlantic.
Is
it
reasonable
that
one
of
the
most
important
ports
of
the
Pacific
should
be
left
longer
without
a
line
of
communication?
Now
is
the
time
to
provide
it
not
when
the
need
is
more
urgent
and
there
is
no
time
to
act.
Prince
Rupert
is
entitled
to
be
satisfied
that
the
necessary
action
is
being
taken.
If
there
is
anything
wc
can
do
here
to
strengthen
representations
which
may
be
already
being
made
to
have
this
military
road
expeditiously
provided,
there
should
be
no
hesitation
about
doing
it
and
doing
it
at
once.
The
road
from
Prince
Rupert
to",
the
interior
is
past
the
stage
of
being
a
political
football,
something
that
is
to
be
dawdled
with
a
half
a
mile
or
so
at
a
time
in
order
to
keep
a
few
unemployed
men
at
work
and
a
handful
of
voters
appeased.
