DISCRIMINATORY
POLICY
AGAINST
PRINCE
RUPERT
IS
BEING
RESISTED
Dissatisfied
with
the
policy
of
the
Canadian
Wheat
Board
in
regard
to
the
use
of
the
Prince
Rupert
grain
elevator
which
is
now
empty
and
witfv
no
apparent
intention
of
using
it
again
unless
"a
large
crop
be
harvested
next
summer
to
the
extent
that
th'e
facilities
available
at
Prince
Rupert
might
be
needed,".
-
the
grain
committee
of
thcl
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce,
of
which
J.
J.
Little
Is
chairman,
Is
actively
pursuing
the
matter
with
a
view
to
having
the
Wheat
Board
reconsider
Its
position
and
take
advantage
the
situation
of
this
port
for
the
efficacious
dispatch
of
wheat
through
the
local
house
for
shipments
especially
to
the
Orient
Russia.
The
support
of
the
industrial
department
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
is
also
being
enlisted.
Correspondence
which
has
passed
recently
between
the
local
committee
and
the
Board
of
Grain
Commissioners
and
the
Canadian
Wheat
Board
is
self-explanatory
of
the
campaign
for
the
fuller
use
of

The

by

from

In

to

"In

I

to

you
that

Use
Prince
Rupert
In
Case
of
Overflow
The
Canadian
Wheat
Board
expressed
its
policy
in
regard
to
the
elevator
here
in
the
follow
ing
communication:
"As
you
are
aware,
our
overall
stocks
of
wheat
arc
decreas
ing
rapidly
and
there
is
every
Indication
that
this
trend
will
continue
until
the
end
of
the
present
year.
We
have
found
it
difficult
In
recent
years
to
get
tonnage
Into
Prince
Rupert
as
against
Vancouver
and
we
were
only
able
to
dispose
of
our
Prince
Rupert
stocks
in
the
recent
past
because
of
the
over-all
short
position
In
wheat.
"Frankly,
we
do
not
sec
any
way
hi
which
the
Prince
Rupert
elevator
can
be
used
during
the
balance
of
this
crop
year.
Our
country
stock
position'
will
be
constantly
decreasing
on
the
one
hand
and
on
the
other
hand
we
expect
ample
ocean
tonnage
to
lift
present
Vancouver
stocks
plus
receipts
at
that
port.
"Should
a
large
crop
be
harvested
next
summer
to
the
extent
that
wc
might
need
the
fa
cilities
available
at
Prince
Ru
pert,
we
will
be
very
glad
indeed
to
reconsider
the
position."
Prince
It
n
pert
Case
Is
Set
Forward
Mr.
Little
replied
to
the
Cana
dian
Wheat
Board
with
a
presentation
of
Prince
Rupert's
case
as
follows:
"While
we
appreciate
the
fact
that
there
arc
more
terminal
facilities
In
Vancouver
to
handle
a
larger
volume
of
grain,
wc
can
not
but
feel
that
because
of
the
demand
for
wheat
the
port
ol
Prince
Rupert
could
be
used
to
facilitate
the
movement
to
the
Pacific
CVjast,
by
diverting
a
certain
portion
of
the
consc
quent
heavy
movement
of
freight
cars
from
the
southern
to
the
northern
railway.
"Wc
believe
that
ocean
tonnage
can

as
easily
be
divert
cd
to
Prince
Rupert,
especially
for
full
cargoes,
or
for
shipments
to
the
Orient
or
Russia.
"We
cannot
agree
that
during
the
winter
season
the
elevator
at
Prince
Rupert
should
be
left
empty,
