The delegation went to look for fresh busi- Ress, and seems to have found it.

All we need are some active or- ganizations to persuade some of the most attractive lasses in our midst that there is admiration, fame and prizes awaiting those who enter the local competition and an all-expenses pair trip to the PNEE and a chance for $1,000 prize for the Port Day queen who will automatically become Miss Prince Rupert.

New funds for industrial and other invest- -ments will be welcomed for the devel- opment which such employment of risk capital implies. But the chief point, to our mind, is that the Vancou- ver trade mission went after this new business and found it waiting.

K. NESBITT. VICTORIA— Premier Ben- nett, who’s B.C.’s minister of finance, and therefore the controler of the provincial pursestrings — which means your money, and your’s, and your’s and your’s—came out cold the other cay and tok the municipalities they can’t have more provincial govern- ment money—not at this time anyway, since, just now, the municipalities are doing pretty well by the provincial govern- ment. The Premier didn't call the municipalities greedy or hog- gish, but that’s what he meant. Very politely, but oh so meaningful, he said that, in all his years in public life (since 1941) he couldn’t recail a year when the municipal- ties expressed complete satis- faction with provincial-muni- cipal financial relations. That’s quite right, because the more the municipalities get from the provincial gov- ernment the more they want, It’s equally true, too, that the,, more the provincial govern- ment gets from the Federal fovernment the more it wants. It’s a vicious circle, and one wonders what’s going to hap- pen if it isn’t stopped. The Premier faced hard, cold facts, and some unpopu- larity (but he didn’t care, he’s that fed up) when he said to the convention of Canadian Mayors and Municipalitics: “Increased expenditures obvi- ously can be made only when revenues warrant it, or if taxes are increased for that pur- tremendous job: to do—which is just as important as that of the other senior levels—but we do not have adequate tools to work with. Our resources are limited. We do not find the cupboard bare like Old Mother Hubbard, but we do find that it has been pretty well strip- ped by the Federal and pro- vincial governments.” The municipalities, while wanting more and fatter fin- ancial handouts from the sen- ior governments, don't want to give up any of their powers: they don’t want to lose any of their jurisdiction to the senior local government becomes a mere spending arm of a higher level of government, we might just as well ‘throw in our cheeks,’ insofar as democracy in Canada is concerned. “Al we want is an equitable share of the revenues — that have been taken from us, t¢- turned with strings In con- sistent fashion, so that we can properly do the job we stand ready to do, and to render those services to the commun- ity that are so essential to de- cent Canadian Hfe.” The Premier, however, is not being too soft in the face of governments. the moans ond the watls and Mayor Jackson put it this the tears of the municipalities, way: Mr. Bennett is a fairly hard- “Tam not in favor of muni- headed financial realist. and cipal governments shedding he knows there’’s a lot of truth in-the old saying that, in this world, there’s nothing for nothing, and precious little for a quarter; in other words, any of their responsibilities, I am firmly convinced that gov- ernment at the local level is the very fabric of our Cana- dian life, and we would fight to that you only get what you maintain our position.
