(Special

News)
One
of
the
highlight
resolutions
of
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
of
Central
British
Columbia
convention
here
Thursday
afternoon
was
a
resolution,
sponsored
by
the
Prince
George
Board
of
Trade
and
supported
by
an
eloquent
address
by
H.
G.
Perry,
former
provincial
minister
of
education,
which
recommended
the
early
resumption
of
an
Immigration
policy
with
special
consideration
of
the
admittance
to
Canada
of
relatives
of
Canadian
citizens
and'
those
of
people
who
were
associated
with
Canada
in
the
war.
The
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
was
also
associated
with
the
resolution.
In
offering
the
resolution
to
the
convention,
Mr.
Perry
expressed
the
opinion
that
the
time
had
come
for
a
vigorous
development
of
latent
resources
of
central
and
northern
British
Columbia.
As
matters
stood
at
present
tne
cost
of
government
al
operations
and
services
bore
too
heavily
upon
the
productlv?
and
consuming
resources
of
the
people
but
could
be
eased
by
the
creased
productivity
necessitating
greater
efficiency,
higher
skills
and
more
especially
an
Increased
population
which
would
also
Increase
consumption.
Mr.
Perry
applied
the
desirability
of
Immigration
to
the
district
of
Central
B.C.
by
pointing
out
that,
whereas
Canada
had
!
a
population
of
twelve

persons,

A
