were
some
who
wanted
the
resig-
i

of
the
Minister
of

and
even
the
Prime
Minister
of

but
the
resolution
as
passed
read
as
follows:
"Whereas
the
Canadian
Legion,
British
Empire
Service
League,
has
consistently
pressed
since
the
outbreak
of
the
warvfor
more
vigorous
action
on
the
part
of
the
defence
authorities
in
the
use(
of
Canadian
resources
and
manpower;
"And
whereas
recent
events
on
the
Pacific
have
made
the
defence
of
this
coast
a
vital
matter.
"And
whereas
the

public
have
not
been

assured
that
everything
possible
Is
being
done
in

matter
of

endorse
the
following
re

this

condemns

demands
Immediate

internment
of

whether

otherwise,
together
with
all

and
also
demands
that

to
supply
the
city
of

Rupert
with
proper

facilities
and
proper
and
adequate
defence

the
