A Great Boost P EVER A STRONG CASE was made out as to J -why Prince Rupert instead of Vancouver should "be made the real administrative and supply centre for the industry and business of this great hinterland it is certainly done in the memorandum which has "been presented to the Air Transport Board in support of Canadian Pacific Airlines application for a scheduled air service charter between here and Vancouver. We have been running this highly interesting and informative memorandum in successive installments of extracts and today we publish the section having particularly do do with Prince Rupert and the Queen Charlotte slands. It is therein that the submission is made that Prince Rupert is the supply centre for the Queen Charlottes and the Stewart mining area, that supply house subsidiaries should be shifted from Vancouver to Prince Rupert as the consumption centre and that financial risks involved in operation in this area would be greatly decreased if supplies and replacement parts were available here and not five hundred miles away at Vancouver. The memorandum further recognizes that "the area surrounding Prince Rupert is one of the richest in Canada in every necessary raw material for industrial activity." - If there were a main line air service into Prince Rupert, the memorandum asserts, "transfer of head offices of industries operating in the area to Prince Rupert (from Vancouver) would become entirely practical with consequent shift of population and increasing efficiency of direction." Such statements as these fit in very well indeed "with the new theory which was advanced here this veek by Col. H. F. E. Smith, the new provincial industrial and trade representative from British Columbia to London, England, thai it is time, in the economic interests of the country, that there was a decentralization from Vancouver to a second site and channel of trade, industry and traffic on this coast which would logically be here. It is particularly significant that such admissions as these, which we have long advanced ourselves but like a voice crying in the wilderness, should now be spontaneously made in such a way by a responsible trade representative of the government and by the subsidiary concern of-Canada's second great transportation system which, so far at least, has never had much of a stake in these "parts. It is all very encouraging for us to find support in such new quarters as these for the campaign which we have long been waging for recognition, development and on-the-spot exploitation of our resources and strategic economic position. Cardinal Villeneuve Jean-Marie Rod-rlgue CARDINAL Villeneuve, whose passing In Los Angeles is mourned, was born the son of a shoemaker but became a prince of the Roman Catholic Church before he reached 50, overcoming obstacles incident to humble birth by determination and devotion. Successively college professor, .superior, bishop and archbishop, he was elevated to the Sacred College of Cardinals by Pope Pius XI March 31, 1933, the fourth Canadian appoint- ert..tO'the cardinalate. Known as a scholar of high literary attainment, His Eminence wrote numerous articles on religious philosophy and, after he became a cardinal particularly, evinced a keen interest in public affairs. Referring to "separatism in . Quebec," he said: "I believe that the more the French-speaking people will be them-. selves, with their proper spirit ancLaricestral peculiarities, the more they will nourish in their hearts their deep, precious love for:Canada. That is the only kinrLof separatism we teach." During the Second Great War Villeneuve urged enlistment of Canada's young men in the armed forces. "We are legally at war and we are bound to fight," he said in 1941. "That is ,why ""also It does not suffice to lend one's money. We are bound . . to contribute to victory by . raising men and it is a national patriotic duty to supply this necessary contribution." Speaking to Canadian servicemen at Westminster Cathedral in London in September -that year, Cardinal Villeneuve paid a special tribute to the fortitude of the British" people under the onslaught of German bombers. "Nothing has filled my heart with more profound sympathy for the people of this country and, might I add, with greater admiration for their spirit, than what I have seen, especially here in London, of the ruins caused by months and months of continuous bombardment." The keynote of his wartime speeches was his plea for a new and better order, embracing more Justice and less selfishness in the ensuing peace. Winning the war by arms alone was not enough, he often said. It must also be won "by the souls of the country." He saw the war as a conflict of two Ideologies and in a November, 1944, broadcast marking his return from overseas he said that "the present conflict has long since developed into one of opposite ideologies; one which tends to dispossess man of his most precious liberties of his very soul, to make him a blind tool of the state; the other, which fights to preserve, and the vicissitudes inherent to man's fallen nature, the Christian concept of man's dignity." Ho was an unremitting foe of Nazism and Communism. He termed the latter on one occasion "an irreducible threat to religion and the Christian civilization." In January, 1945, addressing a St. Jean Baptlste Society meeting in Quebec, he said "Communism is more subtle than Nazism."

'SNOW SQUALLS COVER CITY Weather .Man In PrlnCf Rupert Still Temperamental Carrying on with his January tantrum, the Weather Man exploded an overnight combination of wind, hail and snow on the city that sent headgear flying and deposited more than an inch of snow on city streets that had been cleared of snow by a thaw only a few hours earlier. The wind, reported to have reached gale force in outside coastal waters, blasted at the city in gusts which reached a peak velocity of 29 mll an hour from the southeast between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. Often the wind bore in with squalls of stinging hail which made pe3estflan travel extremely miserable and which, during the night, covered the city with a fresh snow blanket" an inch in depth. The snow and hall continued in gusts this morning. The snow underfoot remained soft and wet, making so far no great hazard to motorists who are now conditioned to the worst that the Weather Man can offer. Overnight temperature in the city wa3 31 degrees, mild enough. despite its one degree of frost, to keep the snow blanket from becoming dangerously frozen. Local forecast today was for snow squalls, although it waj not expected that the wind to day would be as strong as on Friday. Official precipitaUon reading for the 12 hours ending at 4 o'clock this morning was .87 inches.

CANADA PLAYS FULL PART Stressing the increasingly important rule of Canada in world affairs, Mr. Dobson said: "Canada is playing her full part in the peace organizations and served on nine international I bodies. She was the second 1 largest contributor of food and i the third largest contributor of money to UNRRA. She. has the largest store In the world of the basic essential of atomic energy uranium.

The story of Canada's know of against inflation." tsourees fndtheMSy1 Dpalin w,th the action of Sf iSSrie taxation, Mr. Dobson noted that t in uslnir the P P B 2n;?M war expenditure was down to . . . 35 per cent of what it was In "Roughly 68 per cent of our tne neak year -yet the govern-population are under 43 years !ment ls c0Hectlng in this taxa-of age. That means that the tlon year an am0Unt equal to ., Vi v... yv " not yet 'set' in its ways, but is ot an age to demand the latest, or better than the latest, in devices, cemforts and services of all kinds. It is a thought to keep every business executive on the alert, because people's wants rule the market and decide the profit or otherwise of production. "Given an Intelligent approach by business executives who are trying in a sincere way to develop a better knowledge of what the consumers want, there la no reason why Canada cannot look forward to a period of great expansion, profitable busi ncss, and higher standards of living. I regret very much the Irresponsible outlook many persons have regarding orfc and wages. I am one who believes that the time will coir.e again when possession of a job will bn considered an asset, when having a little money as a standby will loom larger in peoples minds than leisure hour3 True .itlsfaction can be found only wlmn the worker value mainly the work he does, and not how much no i. able to compel his employer to pay. I believe in a high standard of living for everyone, and In leisure, but I m sorry to sav that too many of cur people today make high wages ana plentiful leisure the ureatcst alms of their lives. They pay too littla attention to the fact that every producer is also a consumer, so that what they gain as producers they lose Us consumers. It Is wholly false to say that less production and more pay per worker can assure us of prosperity; jut as false as to ttinic i r.at raw material ana labour costs can bi increased without ,-,t lcasi a correfpond-lnR lncise in thv cast of living. ' FOREST WEALTH Reviewing Canada's fortunate competitive position, Mr. Dobson pointed particularly to Canada's 813,000 square miles of productive forest wealth and urged that active steps be taken to assure Its conservation. "Canadians are generally surprised," he said, "when they learn that their pulp and paper mills take only about 23 per cent of the annual forest crop, while fuel wood takes 31 per cent, lumber and miscellaneous products take 41 per cent, and Meeting i due to nature. In Sweden, with less than 8 per cent of Canada's forest area, there' are more than twice as many forest engineers as in Canada. VALUE MULTIPLIED "I wish to draw one fact particularly to your attention. In 1945 the pulp and paper industry took pulpwood valued at ?1?2 muuon. ana conyeriea it mw : products which had a gross value of $400 million. In other words, the industry multiplied more than threefold the value to Canada of its pulp wood cut. In course of that process. Its mills gave employment to 40,000 persons and paid them $80 2 million in salaries and wae.es. In addition, it supplied workers m the woods with employment and their wages amounted to $75 million. When you add t.ie purchase of materials and -supplies, $184 million, you realize how Important the indi'stry i .to the whole economic i?fe cf the nation.

The Flnince Minister set his requirements at $2,769,000,000 in his last budget, compared with $534,400,000 In 1938. DRAG ON BUSINESS "Now it doesn't matter where that revenue is accummulated by the- Government, or how It is taken, the withdrawal of this money constitutes a drag upon business. Substantial reduction In taxes would give an incentive ta individuals and to industry, encourage expansion and now ventures, encourage greater production and lower prices, and therefore prove an aid toward a higher standard of living. i "Some will say the government i needs the money for social welfare and subsidies and so on, but I would point out that lavish government expenditures has been unsuccessful In creating prosperity. "A 'let tlic government do It' attitude will not get us anywhere, and necessity alone Should be the decisive factor in Judging whether to retain some of the wartime controls and practices. In some cases Ihr manufacturers' profit ha3 been squeezed between rising costs and the price ceilings. I approve the policy of removing control gradually, but as quickly as irnoda and services become av ailable, and I am hopeful that world and domestic conoitions will soon permit us to return to a free economy. "This country reached maturity through its war- effort, politically and Industrially. If business! labour and government, keen their heads there Ls no reason why we should not complete our delayed reconversion plans this year, and prepare to step forward in future." GENERAL MANAGER'S ADDRESS In presenting the oank's 77th Annual Report, Mr. Mulr, Oeneral Manager, stated that for the sixth consecutive year the total assets of the bank, which now stood at $2,131,974,316, had reached new record levels. New records had been established in many departments of the bank's business. Liquid assets totalled $1,609,742,168 representing 81.03 per cent of the total llabllitlei to thepubllc. Tne volume of commercial hoans in Canada ls up by $25, 789,321," said Mr, Mulr, "but this does not give a true picture ' rca-on mat ai novcm 1015. .i Vi. col ;.

"Our loaning business abroad has also continued to expand as is illustrated by a well diversified increase of $16,623,715 in commercial loans."
