IMMIGRATION POLICY RESOLUTIONS will be submitted" ; to the convention of the Associated Boards of Trade of central ai;d northern British. Columbia, urging the early resumption of an immigration policy, with special consideration of the admittance of relatives of Canadian citizens and of; those people who were associated with Canada in the war. This ought to be fully supported b.i the convention. In no part of Canada is there greater need for immigration than in central' and northern British Columbia. If farming is to be permanently profitable, in this district we must h.ive 'a ''tremendously greater production so that products can not only supply the local market in quantity and variety, but can be exported to the wider markets at the larger cities of-.the province and elsewhere. ; Only by having big production can freight rates be reduced on .rail aiid road, economies in production instituted by the use of machinery, niodern public services in schools, rpads, medical, health and welfare provided economically and without tbo burdensome taxation. Each immigrant who comes here will bring his skill and knowledge that will ultimately add to the cultural and technical wealth of our district. He will be not only a producer of new wealth but a consumer of all kinds of products made and produced by the workers in our secondary and primary industries. He will be one of j. new internal . market t of consumers as well as", a producer who must sell and trade his products to others. ' He will soon share in the taxation of the country. He will help to provide traffic and revenue for the railways and truckers. He will be nlore than welcome in this part of Oinada, for here in these wide open spaces men and women are tolerant and hold broad views and possess kindly, hearts. I This district has long languished in-atagnation-due to sparsity of population. Industrial expansion depends as much on a supply of labor being readily available as upon the investment of capital. New industries snnply will not establish thmeselves in. an area where there is a small population. Immigration is vitally necessary to increase the population in central and northern B.C. for all these reasons and others. There are scores of good Canadian citizens in this district who are anxious to get relatives out and who can guarantee them employment. These relatives in many case3 have ben -victims of the terrors of Hitler-ism and' Fascism. They should be allowed to come here without any red tape" 'at all. Canada has a moral and ethical responsibility to admit such relatives without any delay. Then the resolution urges that special consideration be given to those peoples who have shared the War effort with Canada. Here is something that can be supported without cavil. ; Millions of our allies are in des- pair. We have sent them much food and clothing. How much better it would be were we to say, as the cook says to the men in the camp! "Come and get it!" HELPING COMMUNITY THERE are always the few old-I timer stand-bys who are willing to carry the load of advancing the welfare of the community. There are a fair number of the newer businessmen whp are live wires. It has ever been so. A few men do the work for the community. They go to the trouble of proposing this and that for the good of the district and its people, oft-times only to get their efforts torn to tatters by uninformed critics and parish pump politicians. But be it said to the credit of those public spirited citi- zens who work in the Chamber of Commerce and other bodies that they never waver or get discouraged but, carry on, giving fully of their time 'and experience for the good of all. We salute those businessmen who do so. They are good citizens. They sow the fertile seeds of community progress that all may harvest the crop that eventually matures and ripens into the rich fruit of ' ' ' 0 ' SEE US FOR ALL REQUIREMENTS IN 1 Office Supplies Consult us for your needs in all types of printing work GOLD MINES ARE HIT THE gold mines of Canada and more I .'lilt i T- 1 i especially tnose oi unusn touun-bia have received double blows. ' to their industry. First by the reduction in the price received in Canadian dollars for the gold they produce due to; the Canadian dollar having been put on a parity with the United States dollar, and secondly by the demand of the workers in the mines for considerably higher pay. Many mines will be unable to operate and others will simply mill only their higher grade ore. This will have a serious effect upon employment, wages and the volume of money that forms the purchasing power which' creates turnover of commodities in business. The Dominion government, with the customary conduct of all governments, has at last granted some relief, but it is parsimonious and only of a little bit of help to most mines. It has reduced the handling charges at the mint where gold must be sold by 15 cents an ounce, and has increased the depletion allowance on gold mines from 20 per cent to 33 1-3 per cent of net profits with a minimum of $2.00 per ounce of gold produced. These minor concessions will not replace the loss of $3.50 an ounce now sustained by mines through the parity of the dollar, nor assist the operators to meet the demands of their employees for higher wages. What the gold industry wants is a free market in gold. In many countries outside of Canada a much higher price than $35 an ounce is being paid for gold. A few weeks ago the Federal Reserve Board of the United States gave out the information that the price of gold in many parts of the world was greatly in excess of that now received by producers in North America who are compelled to dispose of their gold to their respective government mints. In March of this year gold was selling in Argentina at $46 per ounce; in Bombay at $67; in Chile at $43; in Egypt at $97; in Bagdad at $98, and in Greece at $110. Unless the government does more to help the gold mines reduce their expenses or allows a free market or raises the price of gold, one of our important industries that employs thousands of workers and spends millions of dollars in capital and consumer goods will languish and some mines will perish.

G. Perry, pub lisher of Prince George and Prince Rupert, spoke of the pregnancy it possibilities of the cur-lent peace conference in Paris. From it might stem permanent i peace or disastrous war, he de-1 clared. "But," he said, "I have great confidence that the strens policy enunciated by the United States Secretary of 3tate Cymes will be a good tgnic for the re calcitrant Soviet Republic and that much good may ensue." The future of the world, indeed, was 3t stake in the conference and all people everywhere must be dteply concerned over its ff.lr. Perry then turned t6 the disturbing . industrial Canadian cene. It was a matter of gratifi ¬ cation that the threatened fish handlers' strike here had been settled without reaching the point of a strike. '"It seems a pity," said Mr. Perry, "that we ;iiould have developed a system of adjudicating Industrial differences and yet Industries are brought to the point of closing dewn, causing economic loss to most all of those who went on str'ke, and the country and the people., and disturbing the con- ?rttilnsr pufjllc."
