Neglecting

Defence
THE
ANNOUNCEMENT
of
the
Minister
WJTH
of
National
Defence
at
Ottawa
that
Canada's
naval
strength
is
to
be
divided
almost
equally
between
the
Atlantic
and
Pacific
coasts,
the
strategic
position
of
Prince
Rupert
on
the
Pacific
C6ast
again
comes
naturally
to
mind.
We
have
no
desire;
to
quarrel
with
Esquimalt
but
why
the
whole
naval
strength
of
this
coast
should
be
centred
at
that
extreme
end,
lying
almost
within
and
nearly
surrounded
by
American
territory,
is
something
that
we
have
long
failed
to
understand.
In
the
changing
picture
of
Canada's
defence,
more
and
more
focussing
westward
and
northward,
it
would
seem
logical
that
Prince
Rupert
should
become
the
site
of
a
naval
base
of
equal
if
not
greater
importance
than
Esquimalt.
It
is
not
a
very
creditable!
state
of
affairs
If,
for
political
reasons
or
just
because
naval
personnel
desires
to
remain
around
Victoria,
the
implementation
of
a
realistic
policy
in
the
arranging
of
the
defences
of
the
country
is
interfered
with.
If
it
was
so
important
that
Prince
Rup'ert
should
be
a
strong
defence
centre
in
the
emergency
of
war,
it
is
hard
to
comprehend
why
it
should
be
utterly
ignored
in
the
establishment
and
maintenance
of
defence
measures
in
time
of
peace
and!
against
the
possibility
of
war.

Soon
that
a
strong

NOf
bp
en
put
up
before
the
Air
Transport
Board
for
the
establishment
of
a
regularly
scheduled
air
service
between
Vancouver
and
Prince
Rupert,
It
is;
to
be
expected
that
the
necessary
licence
will
soon
be
granted
and
that
the
service
will
be
duly
commenced
pas-slbly
by
late
spring
or
summer.
It
will
be
an
Important
step
lforwnrd
In
bringing
up-to-date'
transportation
and
communications
between
the
two
cltle$.
The
institution
of
such
a
service
will
have
the
tendency
of
speeding
up

at
Prjnle
Rupert,
this
port
feels
diredtly
the
adverse
affect
of
an
industrial
dispute
getting
out
pf
hand.
In
fact.
It
Is
already
quietening
down
the
local
waterfront
very
materially.
The
fish
companies,
in
tbo
long
run,
are
not
seriously
hurt
except
for
the
disruption
of
their
operations.
They,
of
course,
immediately
cut
over
doing
of
business
and
making
of
contacts
personally
and
by
correspondence.
Canadian
Pacific
Airlines,
it
Is
already
known,
has
gone
a
long
way
In
connection
with
the
preliminary
arrangements
for
Instituting
the
service.
The
granting
of
the
necessary
licence
Is
practically
a
foregone
conclusion.
All
that
remains
now
Is
to
finalize
the
assignment
of
the
necessary
equipment
to
the
route
and
the
setting
up
of
operating
machinery
at
this
northern
terminal.

is
at

map.
head
with
the
laying
off
of
workers
who
are
the
real
sufferers.
The
operators
of
the
fishing
and
delivery
vessels,
of
their
own
choice,
cut
off
their
means
of
livelihood
and
support.
But
the
worst
sufferer,
as
usual,
is
the
public.
Apart
from
all
that,
of
course,
is
the
unfortunate
situation
whereby
a
form
of
food
supply
is
cut
off
at
a
time
when
an
orderly
production
and
distribution
of
food
is
so
badly
needed.
