Norah

to
present
a
resolution
to
city
council
last
night
urging
that
Ottawa
consider
the
establishment
of
a

of
the
Royal

Naval

Reserve
here.
Supported
unanimously
by
the
council,
the
resolution
was
seconded
by
Aid.
T.
B.
Black
and
will
be
forwarded
to
Ottawa.
The
resolution
pointed
out
that
Prince
Rupert's
strategic
location
as
a
naval
base
had
been
recognized
by
the
governments
of
Canada
and
the
United
Stales
during
the
war
and
that
permanent
buildings
for
a
R.C.

division

The
former
R.C.N.V.R.
division
here
provided
a.
strong
nucleus
of
trained
men
for
the
Navy
at
the
outbreak
of
the
war,
the
resolution
added.
"I
understand
that
plans
are
under

to
set
up
R.C.N.V.R.
divisions
In
almost
every

Aid.
Arnold
said
In
speaking
to
the
motion.
"Prince
Ru-pert.
has
always
given
strong
support
to
the
Naval
Volunteer
Reserve
so
there
Is
no
reason
why
we
shouldn't
have
one
now."
Following
is
the
text
of
the
resolution
adopted
by
council:
"Whereas
adequate
means
of
defence
of
the
Pacific
Coast
Is
of
primary
importance
to
Canada;
"Whereas
the

of

Born
in
wartime,
the
Manitoba
coalition
government
seeks
its
secondrman-date
from
the
electors
at
the
polls
October
15.
The
political
history
of
Manitoba
shows
coalition
administrations
as
far
back
as
1870,
when
the
province
entered
confederation,
but
the,
modern
non-partisan
government
was
formed
by
John
'
Bracken
In
1940
when

Premier
5tuat::TarsV5nrr--'-w
Mr.
Bracken
formed
the
coall
Mon
with
a
government
of
Lib
era!
Progressives,
Conservatives,
3.C.F.,
Social
Credit,
and
Independents.
Each
group
was
given
representation
in
the
cabinet.
At
Its
formation
he
expressed
the
hope
the
union
"will
result
In
a
spirit
or
unity."
In
the
subsequent
legislature
session
he
had
an
opposition
of
on'y
three
-a
Conservative,
Social
Credit
md
Independent
member.
Mr.
Garson
has
carried
on
with
much
the
same
administration,
with
the
exception
of
the
C.C.F.
who
withdrew
support
in
1943
after
S.
J.
Farmer,
the
C.C.F.
leader,
resigned
as
labor
minister.
The
withdrawal
of
support
followed
Mt.
Bracken's
acceptance
of
the
Progressive-Conservative
party
leadership.
At
dissolution
Sept.
8
there
were
nine
opposition
members
in
the
legislature,
Including
C.C.F.
with
a
group
of
three,
a
Conservative
and
Independents.
Just
before
the
1932
general
election,
Mr.
Bracken
Joined
his
Progressive
followers
with
the
Liberals.
He
kept
his
Progressive
cabinet
Intact
until
after
his
government's
re-election.'and
then
made
room
for
Liberal
colleagues
in
the
cabinet.
There
were
few
party
designations
among
Manitoba's
early
politicians.
Manitoba's
first
government
in
1870,
under
Pre
mier
Alfred
Boyd,
was
a
coalition
administration
and
it
was
not
until
1879
when
John
Nor-quay
became
premier
that
a
political
leader
was
Identified
by
party
affiliation.
He
was
a
Llb-eral-Consarvative,
but
his
sup
porters
were
identified,
merely
as
"government
members."
The
first
regime
with
an
of
ficial
affiliation
was
that
of
Pre
mier
T.
Greenway
who
headed
a
Liberal
government
in
1900
Since
then
there
have
been
two
Conservative
governments,
i
Liberal,
a
Progressive,
a
Liberal
Progressive,
and
finally
the
pres
ent

government.
