WHAT IS WRONG?
THE NEWS has no grudge against,
nor quarrel wilh, the Premier management, or any of its shareholders, individually or collectively, but it takes issue on
a principle.
We understand that J. Killas, a born
Greek, from the city of Prince Rupert, has
been granted the privilege of operating a
pool room aud tobacco stand at the Premier mine. Some call it a concession and
this, probably, is the more correct term,
for otherwise he would never have been
allowed to open up this line of business on
Premier property. We understand also
that Mr. Killas is the proprietor of a very
nice and well established business in Prince
Rupert, and we do not doubt but that he
is a natuarlized British subject. Both of
which are aside from the question.
WE BELIEVE in the principle that
all foreigners coming into Canada should
'Canada to the men in the trenches from
1914 to 1918? And to the people of Canada as a whole?
WHAT is the government of Canada
doing, that it allows these things to happen?
IF OUR Representatives ir Parliament have the welfare of the country and
the people at heart to the extent that they
say they have, why do they not see to it
that such plums as the incident mentioned
are awarded to our own people?
WHY cannot legislation be enacted
that will force foreign managed corporations as well as Canadian to, when all
things are equal, give the preference to
our own people? Can it be that these
same corporations have strings on our
Members of Parliament?
COMING closer to home. Does the
Premier management wish to infer that
Canadians are inferior to foreigners? Or
is it that the same management prefers to
have foreigners in and around the mine?
If not, why did it not give this concession
to a Canadian born? Or a man who has served
in the Canadian forces overseas? If they do, why
should it not be possible for the Government to
enact some sort of legislation as mentioned above?
Or force the Premier to make a change in management?
DO the Guggenheims, or Messrs Keith,
Price and other shareholders in the Premier, appreciate the services of the Canadian Soldier in
France? Do they appreciate the suffering of the
wounded? The sacrifice of the dead? Or the
price paid for Victory by the people of Canada as
a whole? If they do, why not by a word make
such things as the Killas incident impossible?
And see to it that the people born in the country,
who fought for the country, be given preference?
