For some reason tne impression exists in Ottawa and elsewhere in eastern Canada that Prince Rupert is on its last legs and is destined to collapse at any moment. Before the meeting some of the committee members were asked by the Visitors if they thowzht there was any future heye and re- ceived a disbelieving Jook when they answered in the nf ftrmative. ' When the meeting got dawn to business, hows ever, and the full story began lo unfold, the attitude af the visitors changed noticeably, Tt was apparent they had not heard that Prince hupert was growing lerably above the pro- Fas an administration retehing right up to Iv to the vingdal avernee, Chat it server wd supply ceitte fora region st che Yukon, or that the country immediate north was alive With development. If they had heard of these things, it was not ina warthat portrayed Prince Rupert as the key point in smearea with a real and brightening future. One vathered they had underestimated the urgency of in- dustrial demand up here and the faith of the people in what lies ahead, However, it was reassuring to note that they were ready tolearn, Mr. Marler explained that he cme with an open mind and for the very purpose of hear'ne what was being told him. The question Now is not what wéthink of our future, for that has been explained eloqueytly, but what Ottawa thinks of it.

At the subsequent fed- ¢ral-provincial conference Mr. Bennett made a strong plea tor increased federal grants to the provinces to assist in highway construction.

The provinces have placed contracts to a total amount of $209 million, of which amount the federal treasury will half when the work is finished.
