the

among

will
endeavour
to
have

establish

in

to
Asiatic
trade,
are
to
be
advanced
at
Hamilton
tomorrow
when
the
fourth
Na
tional
Foreign
Trade
Commerce
of
the
Canadian
Chamber
of
goes
into
three-day
session.
A
resolution
drawn
up
by
J.
T.
Harvey,
president
of
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
of
Cen
tral
British
Columbia,
request
ing
the
Department
of
Trade
and
Commerce
to
make
a
careful
study
of
the
facilities
at
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
and
to
take
all
necessary
action
to
en
courage
their
use
to
the
fullest
practicable
extent
and
that
the
potentialities
of
this
port
be
given
the
widest
possible
publicity
will
be
presented
to
the
conference.
The
preamble
pf
the
resolution
draws
attention
to
the
fact
that,
while
shortage
of
shippln;
facilities
has
retarded
tile
flow
of
Canadian
food
and
other
essential
products
to
devastated
countries,
the
port
of
Prince
Ru
pert
with
a
1,250,000-bushel
grain
elevator,
transcontinental
railway
terminal
and
complete
all-year-round
harbor
facilities,
has
stood
Idle
since
the
end
of
hostilities
with
Japan
and
is
being
ignored
as
an
avilable
outlet
for
Canadian
products.
The
Hamilton
conference
will
be
asked
to
recommend
what
steps
should
be
taken
to
encourage
the
use
of
Prince
Ru
pert
as
a
world
port,
pointing
out
the
existence
of
facilities
capable
of
accommodating
a
large
number
of
ocean-going
vessels
but
which
except
for
their
use
during
the
last
war,
have
remained
almost
completely
idle
since
erection.
"There
would
appear
to
be
no
physical
or
economic
reason
why
this
port
should
not
be
used
for
world
trade,
particularly
Asiatic
trade,
