The most direct route is a lineacross the town connecting with their present sea- board line just behind` Victoria Harbor,-. crossing King Street near the park. Then _there is another from the_ same point par- "allelling the C.N.R. lines along the water- ` front and stillanother from a "point on f their Toronto Sudbury line to Howe s Corn- ers and down'the gu1ly'to the head of the 'bay. This latter route appears to be the `easiest and while it would avoid the neces- . sity of the purchase of an expensive right of way the construction of road would be much longer and the connection not nearly as direct. The object of the company is 1:0 establish. yards at the head of the bay and it is altogether likely that they yill seek water frontage and doekage at the old smelter property or thereabout. .

' Mr. Sinclair believed that the present time is opportune for all who are opposed to the Conservative Government to -get to- gether. and the time is not far distant when members of the U.F0. group" will be zlad `and willing to give their support to the Lib`- eral partyyas there is nothingjn the pre- V sent Government which they can support. No Absorption of `Liberals _ Regarding the belief, current in some quartets, th-'a.t- the proposed Progressive party .wou1_jl soon absorb the Liberals, Mr. !.71`l1llBlll iiieuiit so mucn to untasrio. ' Although not by any means a spent force. Liberalism is unfortunately a divid- ed force. There are two minds with a single thought.` There are only two lines of pol- itical thought. Liberal and Conservative." stated Mr. Sinclair. In recent years there has; been a division in Liberalism. call it by whatever name you will, Liberal, Labor, U. '-F.0. or Progressive. all working along pro- -gressive lines but the division has resulted disastrously; I believe the gliiberal party is big enough and broad _enV ugh to embrace all lines not Conservative. We can it get into sectional controversy. -To my mind a-`body of thought based on class_conscious- ness cannot be unselfish and must, to a certain extent, be conservative. My duty is to show direction so that all may join forces in the fight. . ' "3 The Official Opposition . .-Referring to discussion-`about the;Liberal party being_desi_gnated the official opposi- tion.` Mr. Sinclair declared that the duty had been cast on them by force of events of the past few months. The 'U'.F.O. at their annual convention last September da- cided to go out of politics. and Hon.

Is Liberalism a Spent Force? Had the thought for 9. mm- u-te that it was a spent force he would not have accepted the leadership of the party. `He was. convinced that thereis a place for the party and a work for it to do. It was - `;his intention. he declared, to carry out as far as possible the instructions from the party ponvention` and the first of these. which he read, referred to adhesion to Lib- eral principles. I believe," stated Mr. "Sinclair. that "Liberals expect leadership along lines of the principles for which the party stands. Ontario had a Liberal Gov- ernment -for 30 years and that was the gold- en era of the Province. I feel that the Lib- eral party wishes to go ahead along the lines laid down in those years when Lib- eralism meant so much to Ontario."

The present Government, `he said, has invoked the old charter of liberty `and made substantial rei- ductions in freight rates.` There was hope, he said, that negotiations for a further re- duction in ocean freight rates would be successful. The present rate is $20 and it `has been as high as $40 and $45. It is hoped to obtain a further _reduction of 35. Such a step would greatly improve'condi- tions`-for marketing cattle.
