: - FISHERMEN’S. HARBOUR

ECISION of J.C. Anderson, ‘president: of the ‘Chamber
ee OF: Commerce in ‘ruling out of order:a’ ‘motion. which.
we would embarrass the. organization, was °a: wise ‘decision.

‘The Fishermen’s Committee, at the original discussion.
cin the: Chamber, proposed that their efforts. to obtain. a-

. safe anchorage. at. Roberts Bay be endorsed by the Cham-
~ ber. The motion.which- passed had’ the additional phrase, °-
however,’ “that. plans for the proposed breakwater at

Sidney be abandoned.’
“This would mean that a direct reversal of policy was
-expressed by. the Chamber, a: policy for:a breakwater. at
‘Sidney. which had been endorsed by the Associated Boards
»-of Trade of Vancouver Island . for a breakwater at
- Sidney, it was felt in all sincerity, would benefit the whole
island in that tourists could land here all the: year round:
>. “The Fishermen’s: Committee, after months of private
investigation .through the Fishermen’s. Union, were: and.
-still are convinced that ‘Robert’s Bay is the best site, not
only: for. a fishermen’ Ss BME nOrAES,. but for a ferry, landing

EG MN CY

All along the hillsides of the~
Gulf Islands, one finds the dead
bones of dead chicken ranches.
There was a time when these is-
lands. were exporting not import-
ing eggs. Every few years our
monopolists make’ a cleaning of
chicken - ranchers. Now | we.are
importing eggs.

I got a sack: of. wheat the other
day, number 6-.Wwheat,. which used

to be called number 1, feed wheat,

‘and it cost delivered here, $3.15.

“Those. who. have raised wheat on:

the . prairies will ‘agree .with me,
that this is equal to.a price of $12

to $18-a hundred for. number. one -

wheat.. Wheat that had: remained
all’ winter under the: snows, ‘is
much superior to this junk. Listen
to the politicians and this will be
all accounted for by the fact that
the British are buying ‘our wheat,
number: one of course, at $1.55.
This is the current political sneak-
enomics.
x oe *

DO THEY. REPRESENT
THE JAPS?

One factor in this price is trans-
portation, but not the principal
factor... It costs as much to trans-:
port a hundred pounds of wheat
trom Calgary to Vancouver, as it
-does-to transport a sack: of wheat
from Calgary to Japan, | and: the
cost. of. transporting: it the. 42
miles from Vancouver:would take
u-sack cof wheat the rest, of the
way from Japan to Tibet or Outer
Mongolia; From. .this readers ‘can
logically conclude that for years
‘our: Canadian -governments, have
been: ideal ‘tors Japs if not
