James

Central

briefly
addressing
"our

southeastern

Makes
Appeal
E.
T.
Applewhalte,
secretary
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce,
assured
the
people
of
Ketchikan
and
southeastern
Alaska
that
Prince
Rupert
was
appreciative
of
their
business
and
friendship.
Prince
Rupert,
in
its
efforts
to
build
up
as
a
port
for
the
Orient
anc
United
King
dom,
had
perhaps,
passed
up
its
best
bet
and
neighbor.
Pos.sibl7.
too,
Alaska
had
overlooked
Prince
Rupert
and
what
it
had
to
offer.
Two
neighboring
communities
having
much"
in
com
mon
and
both
striving
for
recog
nition
might
well
co-operate
for
mutual
benefit,
learning
to
work
and
play
together.
"Let's
have
more
co-operation
more
friendliness,
more
frankness,
more
plain-speaking,"
exhorted
Mr.
Applewhalte.
"The
great
thing
to
remember
was
that
Prince
Rupert
discovered
in
1942
by
the
Americans,
taken
over
by
them
and
made
into
one
of
the
world's
best
equipped
ports
was
the
.logical
snipping
point
for
Alaska.
It
was
clearly
up
to
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
and
southeastern
Alaska
to
work
out
a
way
of
using
the
port
and
its
facilities
so
that
mutual
benefit
might
be
the
reult.

Canada's

went

On
the

hand
labor
could
claim
it
had
effected

in

more
than
700,000
Canadian

held

Post-war
strikes
had
been
regarded
as
Inevitable,
particularly
after
work
stoppages
spread
through
the
United
States.
In
Canada
they
reached
their
peak
in
the
summer
months
with
something
more
than
75.003
workers

altogether.
Their
effect
far
exceeded
the

and
