and
Other
Matters.
T.
D.
Pattullo,
former
premier
of
British
Columbia
and
now
sitting
as
private
member
for
Prince
Rupert
In
the
legislative
assembly,
spoke
on
many
matters
In
addressing
the
annual
meeting
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Liberal
Awocl-
New
nritain
and
near
miss,
urrro
3on
last
night.
With
Some
feel
claimed
on
two
other
large
wi
sels.
Ing,
he
expressed
his
appreciation
of
the
way
Prince
Rupert
had
stood
by
him
during
the
past
twenty-six
years
through
which
r
period
-of
.time
he
has
continuously
represented
this
riding
at
Victoria.
The
former
premier
discussed
events
following
the
provincial
'election
last
ran
and
leading
up
to
the
formation
of
the
coalition
government
and
his
resignation
as
premier.
He
justified
his
own
position
in
refusing
to
join
with
a
coalition.
He
had
never
received
mandate
from
the
Liberal
party
to
throw
the
party
down.
The
troops
may
have
deserted
me,"
he
said,
"but
it
can
never
be
said
of
me
that
I
deserted
the
troops
not
even
to
remain
In
office."
Alluding
to
the
matter
of
the
forthcoming
federal
manpower
plebiscite,
Mr.
Pattullo
expressed
his
approval
of
sending
men
overseas.
From
the
outset,
he
recall
ed,
he
had
expressed
the
belief
that
it
was
best
to
fight.
If
pos
sible,

the
other
fellow's
ground.
Pleased

Mr.

expressed
gratification
that

Prince
Rupert
up
with
the
rest
of

province

road.
He
was
particularly
pleased
that
the
plan
was
to
build
it
on
the
north
side
of
the
Skeena
River
and
thus
eliminate
ferrying.
This
road

Mr.
Pattullo

had
been
recommended
by
the
International
defence
commission
as
the
first
which

be
built
from
a
military
standpoint.
Brit
ish
Columbia

expressed
his
disappointment
at
having
been
unable
to
complete
the

program
in
the
Peace
River
and
also
to
bring

British
Columbia.
As
for
oil
In
the
Peace
River,
Mr.
Pattullo
Me-dlctcd
that
one
of
the
biggest
oil
fields
In
America
would
eventually
be
developed
there.
He
feared,
however,
that
It

be
handed

Interests.
One
thing
he
had
been
able
to
do
for
the

was
to
save
them
