Resolutions

Two resolutions from the Assoc- iatcd Boards of Trade of Cape Breton which caused a furore Thursday when they were turned down by the policy committee were passed by the Board yester- day. A third was discarded.

The resolutions were reconsid- cred at a private conference be- tween the sponsors and the policy committee before yesterday's brief session ended the convention. One resolution passed was ad- dressed to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. ‘It stressed the im- portance of the responsibility, en- ergy and freedom of the individ- ual Canadian citizen and the part these qualities would play in building a greater Canada.

The second urged an attempt to get all boards of trade in the Maritime: to take a more active interest, in the Maritime Board and become more closely affiliated with it. _
