past year and at tlie same time looking forward to the prospects for 1931 e w beatty chairman and president of the canadian pacific railway thinks the country is on the way back to prosperity although the way may bo long and at times difficult in a statement published in the montreal star he says of 1933 i think it is per haps witii re lief that most of us will say thats that and now for 1934 we meet this new year with something of a better un derstanding of what this so- called depres- sion is all u i about and what ewbcatykc w0 ougnt to do about it we see along the road leading to its end more clearly and further than we did a year ago that fact has inspired con fidence and courage and has started us moving towards the better times that broadened pros perity will bring to all tho road is not an easy one there are long hills and difficult spots but it offers no danger or problem too great to be surmounted by the courage and energy of the cana dian people we have before us problems that will tax the ingenu ity and strength of our leaders in statesscraft finance and industry and make great demands upon tho patience and understanding of our people but if these problems are met with courage and dealt with in accordance with the laws of sound economics which arc as re lentlessly unchangeable as the laws of nature this country will emergo from the purging in far better shape to progress than it has ever been before and indivi dual prosperity for all classes of our people will be more firmly established i believe that tho elusive corner we were hoping to turn through many weary months slipped past us all unnoticed some time ago and that we have defin itely passed through tho worst and most trying phase of the period railroad situation tho past year has been par ticularly difficult for our rail roads and there seems little rea son to hope that conditions arc going to be much easier for thoso who operate them in the imme diate or near future alteration in canadas status from the posi tion we used to claim as the worlds chief producer of bread- stuffs has already proved far- reaching in its adverse effect upon our transportation industry un der most fnvrrablc circumstances governing development of other lines of agricultural production for export it may reasonably lake some years to bring the volume of i citizens who arc canadas rail freight back to the the state of real economic peril in liifiu figures of a few years ago which wo stand it is therefore imperative upon the managements of those railways depending upon earnings to meet operating costs interest and other charges that all possible measures of economy in operation shall con tinue in force but when this is accomplished the problem for canada is far from solved jlust reduce taxes all that is true of the railways is true in some respect of most other public facilities and such progress as has been made over the past year along the line of effecting economies in adminis tration of public affairs has been helpful but has served mostly to point the way to larger and more fundamental re arrangements looking towards an easing of the great load of national debt and a reduction of taxation the extent of which has como to assume ominous proportions there is no need for further stressing the inescapable necessity for such ac tion i do not believe that any thinking canadian viewing nation al affairs without prejudice will deny that the drain upon public and individual wealth consequent upon the general railway situa tion continues to overshadow all other problems and it is by far tho most important difficulty that has to be surmounted before tbo way to prosperity lies open before us tho remedy in order to clarify tho situation early in the year i outlined in two public addresses what i believed to bo the only possible solution for that problem in effect i proposed that the people of can ada as owners of the canadian na tional railway should enter into a partnership arrangement with the shareholders of the canadian pacific and that the resulting or ganization should bo operated by the privately owned concern thus relieving railroad management in this country from the toowell proven evils of political influences and at the same time removing from the path of our greatly har- rassod political leaders the em barrassments that must ever ac company responsibility for rail way operation my proposals at that time met with a volume of approval and support such as frankly i had not anticipated and i found even in places where it was least to be expected that they received a serious consideration that showed how widespread was the conviction that this problem had to be settled in some satisfac tory and permanent manner nothing that has since happened has tended to change my convic tion that in these proposals lies tho only sound ultimate solution of the difficulty i can think of nothing short of this that may be attempted that will offer ade quate relief from an economic drain that has in it all the possi bilities of national disaster i have reason to believe also that i share this conviction with a large and increasing number of iving thought to the heads of the railway companies have resulted in a sharp reduction of freight rates on export cattle the announcement was somewhat garbled in the original release but the facts are quite simple livestock men who buy feeders in eastern canada and who subsequently ship them to ea- board for export will receive a 50 per cent rebate on the movement from the feed lot to seaboard west ern farmers who buy feeders and who later ship them to seaboard or ex port will get a rebate of 25 per cent of the cost of moving the cattle from the point of original purchase to tho feed lot in no case must the feeder cattle be purchased from the large livestock markets purchases must be made from farmers or ranchers cattle embargo worrying western cattlemen with an anxiety which is shared a i ottawa the recent move in great britain to restrict the importation of cattle quite clearly the british government is embarking upon a broad policy of protection for agri culture this policy already en dangers our growing export of eggs and is gradually reducing britains wheat requirements all that has happened so far is that london has asked ottawa to restrict exports of canadian cattle during the first quarter of 1934 to the total for tho corresponding period of last year the figure is 7s27 head at tho same time imports of cattle from the irish free state britains chief source of supply have been cut by 50 per cent v this restrictive measure of itself does not alarm federal officials be cause there is little prospect of the export trade in the first quarter of this year exceeding that of last year but it is feared that london may address a similar request to ottawa j for the balance of the year and this would occasion great disappointment the annual social meeting of the
