VICTORIA
CP
It
is
pos
slble
many
many
jears
from
now
that
the
capital
of
British
Columbia
may
be
shifted
from
lctorla
to
a
more
central
loca
tlon
such
as
Prince
George
Premier
A
C
Bennett
said
ednesdaj
Mr
Bennett
was
explaining
at
a
press
conference
following
his
return
from
the
annual
pro
provincial
¬
vincial
premiers
conference
in
Manitoba
why
he
had
suggest
ed
at
the
conference
that
Win
nlpeg
should
be
made
the
na
tlonal
capital
In
place
of
Ottawa
Prior
to
this
time
he
said
it
would
have
been
too
early
to
make
Winnipeg
our
national
capital
But
now
the
west
is
developing
faster
than
eastern
Canada
and
it
should
be
done
Applying
the
same
reasoning
to
BC
the
premier
said
that
with
all
the
development
that
would
follow
the
extension
of
the
Pacific
Great
Eastern
Rail
way
there
would
come
a
time
when
the
prosperity
of
northern
BC
rivals
that
of
more
settled
areas
in
the
south
When
that
time
comes
Mr
Bennett
said
many
many
years
from
now
It
could
be
time
to
consider
moving
the
provincial
capital
from
Victoria
I
think
that
the
choice
would
be
Prince
George
Mayor
Harold
Moffat
was
hard
hardly
¬
ly
surprised
by
the
Premiers
comment
Weve
said
that
for
years
said
Moffat
Victoria
is
the
most
expensive
place
to
have
a
capital
The
mayor
agreed
with
the
capital
being
centrally
located
saying
It
should
be
equally
available
to
everybody
whowants
to
do
business
with
It
Asked
when
he
thought
such
a
capital
shuffle
might
come
about
the
Mayor
had
little
hope
since
lie
said
Its

Impossible

-
The
continuing
postal
negotiations
which
were
producing
nothing
but
jawns
among
observers
here
have
suddenly
taken
on
a
cloak
and
dagger
air
There
are
it
seems
two
sets
of
postal
negotiations
The
obvious
ones
are
those
twice
a
week
meetings
between
the
Treasury
Board
and
offi
officials
¬
cials
of
two
postal
unions
Thejve
accomplished
nothing
both
sides
refusing
to
budge
an
Inch
Irom
their
publicly
taken
stances
But
somewhere
else
In
the
last
week
a
second
set
of
talks
has
begun
between
Post
master
General
Eric
Kierans
and
the
union
officials
uovernmont
sources
are
quick
to
deny
that
Mr
Kierans
himself
has
actually
talked
to
the
union
leaders
heavens
no
Intermediaries
have
car
rled
the
message
from
the
Post
master
General
And
that
message
ls
that
Kierans
Is
ready
to
write
a
let
ter
to
William
Houle
and
Roger
Decarle
If
the
letter
would
do
an
j
good
The
letter
several
versions
of
which
have
already
been
drafted
In
Mr
Klerans
office
amounts
to
a
pledge
of
Job
secu
rltj
for
the
postal
workers
But
Its
a
pledge
so
carefully
couched
that
It
cant
be
used
against
the
government
bv
an
other
civil
service
union
In
bar
gaining
Its
a
very
delicate
business
If
jou
make
a
move
and
the
union
doesnt
pkk
It
up
then
youve
given
away
a
chip
ex
plained
a

source
A
spokesman
for
the
two
postal
unions
said
the
unions
havent
picked
up
any
chips
jet
because
they
don
t
know
any
anything
¬
thing
about
the
alleged
letter
At
least
they
dont
know
any
thing
officially
But
government
sources
say
Mr
Kierans
won
approval
for
his
moves
from
the
last
cabinet
meeting
The
post
office
Is
going
down
the
drain
and
Erics
going
to
take

anyhow
