MINISTER
IS
INVITED
HERE
Expression
of
interest
by
Dr.
James
A-
McKlnnon,
federal
minister
of
trade
and
commerce,
In
the
expansion
of
Canada's
transpacific
trade
as
one
of
the
important
factors
in
providing
new
export
markets
for
the
Dominion
led
the
acting
president
and
secretary
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
yes-'terday
to
send
a
wire
to
the
minuter
asking
him
to
visit
Prince
Runert
at
as
early
a
date
as
pos
sible.
Any
development
of
trade
and
commerce
between
Canada
and
the
Orient
would
undoubtedly
have
to
take
into
account
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
as
an
important
point
of
traffic
handling,
it
is
supposed.

votfid
to
choose
the
national
convention
which
will
shape
the
governmental
tinv
of
the
British
Empire's

It
is
an

devoid

issues
even
to
the
point
of
absence
of
any
organ-

among

In

42
members
to.
the
convention,
a
representative
body
will
be
set
up
which
will
suggest
the
form
of
government
to
replace
the
commission
whleh
has
governed
the
Island
since
1934.
Ultimate
choice
of
the
people
depends
upon
the
outcome
of
a
referendum,
and
here
are
some
of
the
possibilities:
1.
Resumption
of
self-govern
ment,
lost
since
1934.
2.
Continuation
of

In
