They came from every Canada and, dealing as the every phase of Canadian industry and t:ade, they represented to a remark- able extent the progress and develop- ment which Canada is now enjoying. The close of the gathering was marked by a speech from President E. W. Beat illuminating art of o, with which set forth in ty, LB the present posi- tion of the great company and some- thing of the lines along which it is ursuing the task for which it was uy constructed, namely the building of a great Canadian nation. ' Mr. Beatty began with a tribute to the bold enterprising men who, under such leaders as Champlain, and within sight and sound of the Frontenac where he was then speak- ing, had laid the first foundations of hateau The spirit of Cham- Tess, he said, it constructed today seen wherever Canadian men and Yn were at the work of nation-building. It was this spirit that h~d built the Canadian Pacific. Mr. matter of politics was as was important.

Mr. Beatty's reference to the national system of railways was equally frank and timely. He pointed out the anomaly that: "The less profitable are the operations of the National Railway System the reater the taxes of the Canadian acific, and if the National Railwa, rosper through diversion of traffic whe, the Canadian Pacific, we lose in revenue more than we gain in taxes. He further said: "We may conclude that the test of government owner- ship is being made under as favorable conditions as can be secured. The railway mileage of the Country is proportionately greater than the traffic available to support it.
