Onward
and
Upward
If
the
recent
criticism
of
lack
of
policy
on
the
part
of
the
railway
company
as
a
part
of
the
federal
government
organization
has
done
nothing
more
than
to
stir
the
company
to
looking
more
aggressively
to
the
possibilities
of
the
development
of
this
part
of
the
country
as
a
-matter
of
national
policy
we
have
that
much
to
be
thankful
for.
While
there
may
not
have
been
much
concrete
accomplishment
as
yet,
there
atie
indications
that
a
new
measure
o
interest
is
being
taken.
That
is
all
to
the
good
and
we
are
hopeful
that
it
will
be
productive
of
real
results
in
the
ends
to
which
we
are
all
striving
or
should
be.
We
arejiot
satisfied
that
there
is
not
still
a
considerable
amount
of
apathy
toward
this
part
of
the
country
on
the
part
of
both
federal
and
railway
authorities.
However,
there
are,
no
doubt,
some
who
are
fully
cognizant
and
earnest
of
the
possibilities
which
exist
and
which,
we
believe,
will
lead
to
development
and
utilization
if
taken
hold
of
in
the
proper
spirit
and
with
the
adequate
vision.
It
is
something
that
will
need
the
fullest
co-operation
of
all
parties
along
unselfish
lines.
There
is
no
room
for
lethargy
or
evasion
of
responsibility.
Canada
has
not
been
built
thus
far
that
way
and
it
will
not
progress
until
we
all
realize
its
possibilities'
and
strive
towards
their
accomplishment.
True
greatness
may
not
come
in
our
day;
our
hopes
and
endeavors
may
not
mean
a
great
deal
of
direct
benefit
for
many
of
us
personally,
but
it
is
our
duty
to
ever
strive
onward
and
upward.
If
we
do
hot
go
forvyartl,
we
go
backward.
There
is
no
standing
still.

Mrs.

read
an
Interesting
article
from
the
"British
Columbia
Schools,"
a
magazine
Issued
to
schools
by
the
B.
C.
Department
of
Education.
The
article
explained
In
detail
the
carrying
out
of
an
enterprise
study
on
Holland
in
the
primary
department
of
the
local
school
last
year.
A
discussion
on
the
Cameron
Report
followed.
Recent
newspaper
articles
were
read
and
the
report
itself
passed
from
handi
to
hand.
The
discussion
is
to
continue
at
the
next
meeting.
Plans
were
made
for
a
tea
which
Is
to
be
held
on
Saturday
afternoon,
April
20.
Refreshments
were
served
after
the
adjournment
of
the
meeting.
In
praising
the
role
of
the
press
in
world
affairs,
Prime
Minister
Attlee
stated,
"The
of
Canadians
there
are
newspapers
who
dare
to
challenge
the
powers
that
be
and
are
not
afraid
of
reprisals
in
their
fight
for
the
right,
as
are
so
many
of
the
unfortunate
victims
of
omnipotent
officials.
Bureaucracy
has
taken
over
the
functions,
and
powers
of
the
courts
in
many
matters.
The
reign
of
justice
under
the.
rule
of
law,
as
interpreted
by
judges
after
deliberating
upon
evidence,
no
longer
prevails.
The
situation
has
gone
so
far
now
that
even
those
in
the
highest
seats
of
governmental
authority
are
pawns
in
the
hands
of
officials,
who
have
persuaded
them
to
discard
the
elementary
right
of
British
citizenship
to
be
innocent
until
proven
guilty
after
trial
by
one's
peers
as
indicated
in
the
inquisitorial
powers
given
to
a
commission
on
alleged
spies
held
in
detention
and
examined
without
charges
being
made
and
with
counsel
denied
them.
This
is
fascism,
not
democracy,
and
the
ends
do
not
justify
the
means.
It
is
time
the
people
aroused
parliament,
which
has
slumbered
too
long,
to
assert
its
authority
and
demand
a
repeal
of
all
the
despotic
powers
granted
and'
exercised
by
government
employees.
Not
only
has
the
Dominion
parliament
abdicated
its
own
authority
to
departmental
proctors
but
it
has
invested
them
with
statutory
powers
that
superede
the
courts
of
law
and
make
these
agents
of
the
government
more
powerful
than
nionarchs.
British
Columbia,
too,
has
many
statutes
that
need
overhauling
to
remove
therefrom
those
despotic
powers
granted
to
officials
that
give
them
total
authority
over
the
welfare
and
livelihood
of
the
people
who
are
denied
any
right
of
appeal.
Immigration
Policy
The
Dominion
minister
of
agriculture,
Hon.
J.
G.
Gardiner,
made
the
suggestion
the
other
day
that
we
should
bring
European
immigrants
to
Canada
instead
of
sending
them
food
over
there.
There
is
something
in
the
idea,
although
a
lot
of
people
are
opposed
to
immigration
at
pres-sent.
Yet
the
fact
remains
that
with
our
population
of
12,000,000
we
cannot,
achieve
.
tfre
greatness
that
Sir
Wilfrid
Laurier
predicted
for
us
in
the
twentieth
century.
There
must
be
no
immigration
until
every
person
in
Canada
who
wants
a
job
has
got
one,
but
after
that,
selective
immigration
should
be
encouraged
to
develop
our
stupendous
and
incalculable
resources.
We
have
untapped
resources
that
we
and
many
millions
of
people
elsewhere
can
use,
and
it
will
take
twice
our
present
population
to
develop
as
much
as
we
and
they
can
consume
or
translate
into
manufactured
goods.

TWENTY-FIVE
YEARS
AGO
April
8,
1921
In
spite
of
opposition,
Minister
of
Lands
Hon.
T.
D.
Pattullo
succeeded
In
having
an
appropriation
passed
in
the
Legislature
for
$200,000
for
the
court
house
building
at
Prince
Rupert.
The
appropriation
was
for
the
year
only,
the
ultimate
cost
of
the
building
being
set
at
A
big
halibut
schooner,
the
Zllla
May,
was
a
complete
loss
after
running
on
Strait
Island
reef.
Capt.
Hans
Aarvold
and
his
crew
of
13
were
rescued.
A
resolution
presented
In
the
House
of
Commons
by
Col.
Cy
Peck,
M.P.,
favoring
the
seces
sion
from
British
Columbia
of
the
northern
areas
of
the
province,
met
with
a
cold
response
at
a
public
meeting
in
Prince
Rupert.
While
the
shakers
admitted
that
the
north
was
"shabbily
treated,"
they
saw
many
difficulties
in
the
way
of
secession.
