OLOF
HANSON'
Talks
For
Pr.
Rupert
At
Ottawa
Post-War
Rehabilitation
Pro
gram
for
this
Port
is
Advocated
OTTAWA,
May
27-Olof
Han
son,
M.
P.
for
Skeena,
is
urging
upon
the
government
Prince
Rupert's
post-war
rehabilitation
program.
A
regular
schedule
of
cargo
vessel
sailings
Is
needed
to
develop
and
maintain
the
ex
port
of
lumber,
fish
and
grain
products.
Prince
Rupert
claims
to
be
the
natural
outlet
for
the
largest
remaining
soft
wood
area
on
the
continent
with
15.000.000,000
feet
of
merchantable
timber
available
from
the
Prince
Rupert
coast,
the
middle
Skeena,
the
Bulkley
Valley
and
Prince
George
districts.
The
lumber
industry
along
the
Canadian
National
should
be
developed
by
the
export
of
lumber,
poles,
piling
and
ties.
There
will
be
a
huge
market
In
Europe
for
these
after
the
war.
A
pulp
and
paper
mill
In
Prince
Rupert
should
be
built.
In
1943
18
million
pounds
of
halibut,
a
million
pounds
of
black
cod
and
a
million
pounds
of
flat
fish
were
landed
In
Prince
Rupert.
A
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
cases
of
canned
salmon
were
produced.
These
Increased
the
need
for
regular
export
sailings.
The
grain
elevator
should
be
put
Into
use
to
provide
part
cargo
for
vessels
sailing
from
Prince
Rupert.
Regular
sailings
should
also
be
made
to
Alaska
to
share
in
Alaskan
development.
Mr.
Hanson
pointed
out
that
if
suitable
vessels,
which
should
have
refrigeration
facilities,
arc
not
available
they
could
be
built
by
the
Prince
Rupert
Dry

WASHINGTON,

The
forthcoming
military
action
of
the
Allies
in
western
Europe
should
be

rather
than
"Invasion,"
declared

in
a
press
conference
yesterday.
He
predicted
that
the
great
operations
would
take

summer.
Questioned
as
to
the
possibility
of
another

Mr

said
one
might
take
place
in

replied
the

executive
to
a
question
as
to
whether
he
would
run
for
