in
speaking
before
the
Prince

Rotary
Club
at
luncheon
yesterday.
"The
person
who
won't

Of
all
the
cities
in
Canada
none
should
be
more
conscious
than
Prince
Rupert
of
the
implications
of
this
war,
declared
Col.
Nicholls.
!"We
are
the
city
closest
to
the
enemy
of
any
on
the
Pacific
coast.

Every
merchant
and

in
Prince
Rupert
Is
doing
better
than
last
year
and
the
prospects
for
the
future
are
promising
from
an
industrial
standpoint.
The
patriotic
angle
was
not
being
stressed
In
this
Victory
Loan
campaign.
There
was
nothing
es
pecially
patriotic
In
loaning
money
to
the
government
at
three

interest
Instead
of
leaving
It
in
the
bank
at
1
Vi
percent
or
noth-
ingat,all..
It,
was.
Just
plain
horse
sense.
It
was
also
common
otnse
for
the
worker
with
moderate
earnings
to
allot
a
percentage
monthly
to
buy
these
bonds.
There
were
no
valid
excuses
for
buying
one
or
more
bonds.
To
say
one
was
paying
income
tax
was
only
an
Irishman's
excuse
and
no
reason.
If
one
was
paying
an
income
tax,
he
had
an
income.
The

the
tax,
the

and
the
ability
to
buy

ur
was
atuepiauie
ior

io
say
they
were
buying
war
savings
certificates.
This
again
was
no
reason
dui
merely
an
excuse
and
a
poor
one
at
tnat.
Tne
average
deduction
for
war
savings
certificates
was
only
about
$1
per
month.
Col.
Nicholls,
who
gave
some
observations
gained
on
a
recent
trip
east,
told
of
meeting
the
minister
of
finance,
Hon.
J.
L.
Ilsley,
in
Ottawa.
This
interview
was
primarily
on
the
subject
of
bom-
jbardment
insurance
but
Mr.
Ilsley
also
discussed
the
subject
of
the
forthcoming
Victory
Loan
campaign.
"This
loan,"
Mr.
Ilsley
had
said,
"must
be
subscribed
overwhelmingly
and
to
do
so
will
need
hard
work
and
loyal
assistance."
Lauds
War
Cabinet
While
in
Ottawa
Col.
Nicholls
took
up
several
matters
of
concern
to
Prince
Rupert.
He
met
with
a
number
of
ministers
and
others
directing
the
war
effort
and
remarked
on
their
earnestness
and
the
long
hours
they
were
working.
He
was
very,
impressed
with
the
sincerity
and
ability
or
the
members
of
the
war
cabinet
he
had
met.
One
suggestion
Col.
Nicholls
had
made
was
that
British
Columbia
should
be
better
represented
in
general
staff.
Co-incldentally
within
