Speech
from
Throne
THE
SPEECH
FROM
THE
THRONE
for
the
I
British
Columbia
Legislature,
which
opened
yesterday
afternoon
at
Victoria,
indicates
a
realty
substantial
program
of
postwar
legislation
and
action
projected
by
the
provincial
government.
For;
some
time,
it
has
been
felt
that
the
British
Columbia
government,
long
harboring
its
resources
and
now
in
a
fine,
strong
financial
position,
might
be
getting
started
on
a
progressive
and
expansionary
program
in
various
fields.
The
Speech
from
the
Throne,
covering
a
wide
range
of
subjects
embracing
jilmost
all
departments
and
services,
indicates
that;
this
is
now
to
be
done
all
of
which
is
welcomed
and
appreciated.
Some
of
the
items
such
as
the
implementing
of
the
fcoldenberg
Commission
provisions
for
municipal
relief,
the
extension
of
the
scope
of
the
B.C.
Power
Commission
in
bringing
about
power
de-'
velopment
particularly
in
the
rural
areas
and
for
the
aid
of
industry,
the
further
effecting
of
the.
recommendations
of
the
Sloan
Commission
on
forestry
particularly
in
regard
to
sustained
yield,
the
enlarged
program
of
public
works
including
roadr
building
and
electoral
reform,
had
.
already
been!
assured
by
ministerial
spokesmen.
They
are
nowjeonfirrned.
Nothing
will
meet
with
more
general
approval
than?
the
government's
action
in
increasing
the
old
age
pension
by
$5
per
month.
This
suggests
even
better
things
to
come
for
our
worthy
and,"
of
times,
neetfy
elder
citizens.
All
in
all,
the
Speech
from
the
Throne
indicated
clearly
that
British
Columbia
is
again
in
the
forefront
in
regard
to
forward
looking
legislation
geaifed
to
the
changing
needs
and
deserts
of

IMPARTIAL
FOOD
SUPPLY
DISTRIBUTION
Sensing
the
prospect
of
food
being
used
as
a
political
weapon
by.
the
governments
of
some
v;ar-battered
countries,
it
he
Prince
Rupert
Citizens'
Forum
last
night
urged
that
Canada
and
the
other
donor
nations
should
insist
on
impartial
ad
ministration
of
the
food
supplies
shipped
abroad
for
relief
purposes.
The
meeting
deplored
the
dis
solution
of
UNRRA
and
voted
that,
failing
the
re-establish
ment
of
UMBRA
or
.some
similar
organization,
distributipn
of
supplies
should
be
placed
under
the
administration
of
the
International
Red
Cross.
The
meeting
went
on
record
as
favoring
Canadian
assistance
to
starving
populations
regardless
of
their
political
colors
but
w&s
insistent
that
such
food
and
supplies
should
be
directed
to
ward
individuals,
rather
than
toward
governments.
To
do
this,
distribution
would,
necessarily,
nave
to
be
administered
by
some
impartial,
international
relief
organization
to
avoid
charges
that
the
donor
governments
were
using
food
as
an
international
diplomatic
bludgeon.
Even
in
the
face
of
the
present
critical
world
food
situation,
there
is
no
need
for
more
stringent
rationing
in
Canada,
the
meetins
agreed.
Canada's
obliga
tions
can
be
met
by
increasing
production,
rather
than
by
decreasing
home
consumption.
However,
the
meeting
agreed
by

margin
