VANCOUVER, R. SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1908. THIRTY- TWO PAGES. WOULD EXTERMINATE JEWS IN RUSSIA Thousands of Dollars Unclaimed at Local Banks MAKE VANCOUVER A FREE PORT not muicipality." Though it is difficult to find a citizen opposed to making Vancouver A free port, there are those hold the opinion that the present agitation is premature. There are those who who believe that to make Vancouver a free port at the present time would be taking time by the forelock, but the greater number of citizens seem to realize that the making of Vancouver a free port may result only from an agitation lasting over a term of years and therefore believe that had the agitation commenced a year ago it would not have been premature.

Though The World took the first definite step in the agitation to make Vancouver a free port, the idea of a national port has been smouldering long in the minds of many citizens and something was said about bringing the matter before the Liberal convention last year, but the suggestion was dropped. Many other instances could be cited to show that thererare numerous alert Vancouverites, who have recognized for years the advantages that would province if the valuable waterfront could be relinquished to the Dominion, and Vancouver made a free port in that sense, a sense scarcely second in importance to the other. As far back as September 13, 1907, the following appeared in The World's correspondence columns: scheme, the channel scheme and the reclamation scheme east of Westminster avenue bridge are all intimately connected, and the rapid growth and future of this city warrant an immediate, persistent and vigorous effort to secure all three. This cannot be more easily or certainly obtained than by urging the adoption by the Dominion government of the national port scheme, beginning at Vancouver, and asking a substantial appropriation. It would be easier to obtain the money for waterway improvement as part of such a national scheme than for a special case.

It is nearly two years ago since both a royal commission and government engineer have reported on the need of improvement to our harbor. "Immediate prosperity would follow from the prosecution of such works as above mentioned and as citizens of a seaport we should bear in mind that the Pacific ocean, like all waterways, is a a a a a great regulator freight rates. a It would be much to our advantage to become a free port. "Now is our opportunity. Both political parties are agreed on this question as a national policy and of all ports in Canada, that policy could be inaugurated here with the least sectional or envious objection with the brighest prespects, as few complications would arise from complex or divers inserests." On August 12, 1907, copies of a letter were sent to The World and The Province, dealing in part on the subject.

This letter was not published in The World because of a certain of personal matter that was deemed by the editor as objectionable. Stripped of this the letter was, in part: "To an onlooker it was easily observable at the recent meeting of the railway commissioners that the affairs of should receive the undivided attention of some permanent board or committee; an inexperienced and everchanging body like the city council, however, cannot expect to compete with cailway experts. "Great powers have been entrusted to the board of railway commissioners, upon the execution of which they have been complimented from time 50 time; they give one railway running powers over another and rival railways joint depots, switching facilities and such like wherever the public advantage demands. Now, why could not these powers be extended to the water? "If joint depots, why not joint wharves? And if joint or commonwharves, why this scramble for waterfront by transportation companies? Surely the machinery that regulates a joint depot could regulate a joint wharf of equal public utility. "If even this could be attained we Canadians would not have repeated the humiliating spectacle of a ship in our harbor being denied the privilege of landing freight and passengers in Canada.

And still we talk of 'Canada the 'The Granary of the 'Enlarge the and 'The All-red and vet a railway policeman standing at a wharf gate bottles up the whole of Canada. "Let us today prepare to urge the Dominion government to adopt the report of its own commissioners, recommenling that Vancouver be created a national port. "Vancouver harbor, including False creek, is a national affair, should be 60 recognized and money expended and works prosecuted befitting a nation, EXCITED FAN FELL OFF HOUSE Moral in This Story for Man Who Does Not Pay AdmissionCritical Point In Came Caused Fan to Forget Perilous Posttion.
