Report
of
Delegation
.
.
.
Considerable
interest
is
being
manifested
.
in
the
public
meeting
which,
the
mayor
has
called
for
tomorrow
night
to
receive
the
report
of
the
local
municipal-business-labor
delegation
which
is
just
home
from
its
mission
to
Ottawa
in
rje
interests
of
post-war
development
of
this
city
and
port.
Members
of.
the
delegation
are
keeping
the
results
of
the
mission
to
themselves
until
this
meeting
when
the
public
will
be
officially
and
directly
informed.
In
spite
of
their
interim
reticence,
however,
there
is
reason
to
believe
that
the
trip
proved
worthwhile
and
that
the
news
which
the
delegates
will
impart
will
be
of
a
reassuring
nature.
Like
the
public
we
await
the
report
of
the
delegation
with
hopeful
anticipation.
Why
Not
a
British
Columbian?
A
fisherman
and
a
Nova
Scotiari,
apparently,
should
head
the
Domin-"
ion
j
Department
of
Fisheries,
one
gathers
from
a
column-long
editorial
in
the
Halifax
Herald.
It
points
out
that
all
six
holders
of
this
position,
in
the
15
years'
history
of
the
department,
have
been
lawyers,
including
the
irecent
appointment,
a
resident
of
New
Brunswick.
Of
the
talents
of
the
Hatter,
requoted
from
N,
B.
papers
"published
remote
from
the
fisheries,"
the
Herald
is
none
too
impressed,
stating
that
"men
whose
lives
have
been
spent
remote
from
the
:
activities
of
the
salt-water
fisheries
simply
cannot
understand
the
problems
of
this
great
industry,
or
.
-
y
the
difficulties
and
trials,
the
needs
and
conditions,
of
those
engaged
in
it.
It
is
unfortunately
too
true
that
Ottawa
still
regards
the
Department
of
Fisheries
as
a
handy
spot
in
which
to
place
a
Cabinet
representative,
quite
irrespective
of
conditions
of
geography,
training
or
fitness
by
experience
for
the
complex
and
important
duties
which
the
Minister
of
Fisheries
is
expected
to
perform."
Leads
In
Education
.
.
.
We
have
been
told
about
the
high
standard
of
education
in
British
Col-
umbia
and
the
greater
expenditure
in
this
province
than
any
other
on
education.
Figures
just
issued
by
the
Canadian
Youth
Commission
substantiate
these
claims,
showing
how
British
Columbia
far
outstrips
any
other
province
in
this
regard.
Here
are
the
figures
given
on
current
revenues
received
for
the
pro-;
vision
of
education

Strikes,
Taxation
and
Inflation
Higher
taxation
and
inflation
will
result
if
strikes
continue
and
spread,
declares
the
Regina
Leader-Post,
which
adds
that
"today
everyone
is
conscious
of
shortages
and
everyone
looks
forward
to
normal
conditions
when
.
the
dollar
will
buy
what
you
want
it
to
buy.
Industrial
strife
not
only
lowers
the
potential
buying
power
of
that
dollar;
it
also
postpones
the
day
when
a
devaluated
dollar
can
be
put
to
use.
At
the
same
time
it
throws
added
burdens
upon
the
community
which
will
of
course
be
reflected
in
higher
taxation
and
still
further
devaluation."
Welcome

Clothes
Again

.
We
know
how
eager
every
discharged
veteran
is
to
take
his
place
in
civilian
life
again.
We
speed
the
process
with
our
well-cut,
well-tailored
ready-made
clothes.
They're
good
quality
and
good
value.

FLYING
Editor,
Dally
News:
The
news
of
the
burning
of
the
C.N.
SS
Prince
George
caused
a
pang
in
the
hearts
of
some
people
who
have
travelled
the
coast
for
a
number
of
years
and
especially
to
those
of
us
who
have
a
sense
of
pride
in
the
government-owned
and
op
erated
Canadian
National
Railway
sysfem.
It
Is
not
easy
fdr
the
govern
ment
to
operate
a
great
publicly-owned
transportation
system
when
the
chief
competitor
Is
a
privately
-owned
system.
Not
that
trje
private
system
can
render
better
service
but
private
enterprise
has
a
way
with
governments
that
is
not
always
to
the
-benefit
of
public
ownership.
There
Is
a
feeling
abroad
that
the
services
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
could
render
are
restricted
because
of
the
privately-owned
system.
The
Canadian
National
Steamships
"Prince
Rupert
and
Prince
Oecrge
have
rendered
excellent
service
for
many
years
on
the
coast.
-Other
ships
have
come
and
gone
but
these
have
re
mained
toklep
up"as'ervlce"Tjn-
excelled.
In
accomodation,
table,
speed,
promptness
and
courtesy.
Not
so
long
ago
the
Canadian
National
boasted
a
sizeable
fleet
but
now
It
Is
reduced
to
one
vessel.
The
Prince
John
and
Prince
Charles
which
serv
ed
on
the
Queen
Charlotte
Islands
run
were
sold
some
time
ago.
When
war
broke
the
luxury
ships
Robert
and
Henry
were
taken
over
by
the
Navy
and
now,
with
the
burning
of
the
dccige,
only
the
Rupert
Is
left.
There
has
been
some
talk
that
the
ships,'
are
to
be
replaced
by
new
boats.
Let's
hope
so
but
the
people
oji
the
coast
should
back
their
hope
with
appropriate
action.
It
used
to
be
said
that
Canadian
National
officials1
of
the
east
and
mid-west
are
not
nautlcally-mlnded
and
would
prefer
not
to
be
responsible
for
maintaining
steamship
services
on
the
B.C.
coast.
Was
that
the
reason
for
selling
the
John
and
the
Charles?
The
question
arises
will
the
George
and
the
Rupert
be
replaced
or
will
coastal
shipping
become
a
monopoly
of
the
Canadian
Pacific
which,
be-
j
skies
operating
the
C.P.S.S.,
has
a
large
indirect
interest
In
Union
Steampshlps.
If
the
shipping
on
the
coast
becomes
a
monopoly
i
it
will
be
a
sorry
day
for
the
communities
on
our
coast.
It
is
time,
for
the
people
on
the
coast
to
bestir
themselves
and
the
residents
of
Prince
Rupert
should
take
the
lead.
Public
bodies
such
as
Chambers
of
Boards
of
Trade,
business
Interests
and
private
citizens
should
make
known
to
Canadian
National
officials
how
nuch
the
services
have
been
appreciated
and
petition
the
authorities
to
replace
the
old
ships
with
new
ones
to
carry
on
Che
tradition
set
by
the
Rupert
and
the
George.
The
support
of
members
of
Parliament
should
be
sought
and
also
of
the
provincial
legislature.
Let
us
all
do
cur
part
in
seeing
that
the
C.N.
S.S.
flag
is
kept
flying
over
the
waters
of
