Congress of Canada which opened its annual cunven- tion here yesterday. The report of the Royal Commission ou Transportation the financial situ- ation of that great public enter- prise, . The Canadian Nationa! Railways, and the action of both railway companies to senure eco- nomies by reducing staffs brings before the present meeting rail- way and public ownership prob- lems with unusual emphasis. Report Submitted The report of the executive council submitted to congress deals extensively with the situa- tion. It sets forth that "public ownership and democratic man- agement of all public utilities has for many years heen part of the platform of principles of our Congress." As a result of La- bor's pioneering efforts in this direction the report says 'Cana da can point with pride to its many publicly owned and opera- ted utilities giving, as they do, excellent service at less cost than those stil] under control of prl- vate interests." "In some few cases, however." the report proceeds, "in changing from private to public control burdens of capitalization have been assumed out .of all propo~- tion to the value of assets trans- ferred and to that extent handi- capping their successful opera- tion." The Canadian National Railways and the publicly owned Steamship Lines are referred to as examples of this situation, Reference to Workers References are made to the thousands of railway workers thrown out of employment as a result of railway economies and elimination of services. Proceed- ing the report says: ""At this time when rigid eco- nomy is so strongly advocated as the cure for existing economic ills, it is essential that Labor should exert its influence and co- operate with others who believe in public ownership of pubiic utilities, to guard against this | policy being carried to an ux- treme which would impair effi- clency or impose unwarranted hardships upon employees who have faithfully rendered service in building up these utilities, "A Royal Commission, on which Labor was denied repre- sentation, has during the past vear been investigating the n- tire transportation systems of this country.

No other section of the world can offer to the sportsman the same favourable conditions as prevail in Canada with its immense areas of virgin territory within rapid and comfortable means of access, Vast Hunting Areas This country possesses over 1,000,000 square miles of forest, which shelters game animals ranging from the timid rabbit to the huge and n grizzly bear.

The country is well served y roads, railways and steamboat lines, over which the sportsman may travel in comfort, to the "going in" point. Areas previously inaccessible may also now be reached by air- plane in a few hours' flight. De- training or "going in" points are numerous throughout game areas and at these will be found reliable outfitters and qualified guides, who are prepared to look after the sports- mans every nced and guidance while in the hunting territory. In several of the provinces it is compulsory for the hunter to be accompanied hy a guide but, even in those provinces where it is not compulsory, it is often advisable to engage guides. These men, being familiar with the territory in which they operate, are able to add greatly to the enjoy- ment and success of the trip. Conservation of Game In Canada a practical form of conservation is found in the setting aside of tracts of public lands, as game reserves, and in the rigid protection of game in its extensive national and provincial parks. In these areas the game multiplies rapidly, under protection, and spreads over into the surrounding country. This favourable condition, coupled with sound protective legislation regulating the open seasons, bag EASONS OF GENEROUS LENGTH urges "that this convention now { assembled request that the Do- | minion government will nov In any circumstance whatever enter- tain an offer from private intes- est to buy, operate or lease any part or parcel of the railway now controlled by the Canadian Na- tional, Grand Trunk Western orc. | Central Vermont Railway; and | be it further resolved that tic guidance and direction of this en- | terprise shall not at any time be { thwarted or restricted in order to aid any other privately owned enterprise."

Canada is thus able to offer the hunter exceptional opportunities for sport in season. Hunting with Camera To the camera-hunter and the student of wild life, the Canadian Provinces offer unusual opportuni- ties for interesting experiences and records, There is no closed season on game, to the camera-hunter and, throughout the year, he will find favourable conditions to study the habits of game animals and birds and to photograph them in their natural surroundings. Game Laws of the Provinces The game laws of the different provinces are drafted by the provincial Governments with a view to meeting local conditions; conse- quently there is no uniform game law for the Dominion as a whole. As these game laws are subject to revision from year to year, persons contemplating a hunting trip are advised to obtain copies of the current game laws and regulations of the province in which they intend to hunt. The National Development Bureau of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa will gladly supply infor- mation on hunting in Canada bv either complying with requests, or referring same to other sources limits, issuing of licences, etc., from which the particulars desi may be obtained. sired A GLASS OF FRESH FULL CREAM MILK IN EVERY QUARTER POUND BLOCK with fresh, crisp roasted filberts 'Quarter Pound Blocks" of their famousDairyMilk CHOCOLATE There is wonderful value in this handy new quarter pound Block of the well-known Cadbury Milk Chocolate.
