Mr. Bradette Discusses the Railway Question Dominion Members of Parliament Refers to Overbuilding of Railways in Canada, Competition from Motor Vehiâ€" ï¬es anltll Other Aspects. Regret at Death of Hon. Martin urreli. To the The Ac MONDAY, APRIL 4TIH, 1038 monious. I intend, in the near future, to write a full article on this question. The Canadian railway question is reâ€" ceiving more serious attention than it has ever been known in the past. One has only to read the press to see that question discussed every day. Sir Edâ€" ward Beatty, president of the CP.R., has also kept this question in the foreâ€" front for a good imany years. There have already been many debates about this during the present session and it is expected that when the Minister of Transport, Hon. C. D. Howe, will bring his estimates that a lengthy discussion will take place. It is a good thing that such a vital question as our Rallway Transportation system is being univerâ€" sally discussed, for this is a problem in which every citizen is involved. This situation is certainly very acute, but if onr .studlcs it very thoroughly in the different countnes of the world one soon reali#é$s that that problem has to be faced by several countries. NJ doubt that it was a great boon to civilization when the transportation system by rail was placed into function, distances to.great extent disappeared, and travelling and freightâ€"shipping became jless expensive and more secure and, in fact, in our country at the time of Confederation, that invention which was perfectly new, was one of the great actions that made the Confederation pact possible because by such systems it was possible to bridge the great disâ€" tance tkstween the East and the West which brought British Columbia into the fold and at aâ€"later date the three Western provinces.

DISTRICT OF COCHRANE thin the i of the P.RK. enâ€" ago, and had overdone for the popu although the the late Sir whose leader; systems are left absolutely free to act as they please on that important subâ€" ject. There is also this feature about Canada: I well remember the stateâ€" ment made aâ€"few years ago by Henry Ford stating that â€"the countries that had the least railways at that time would ‘be the better off. He had in mind the displacement of raillways by motor transport. Of course this line of action cannot be fully applied to our country when one considers the cliâ€" matic conditions. In some sections they may use buses and trucks for most of the year, but in the majority of cases this mode of locomotion would not te practicable for seven or cight months in every yvear and no one could visualizece the haulage of our crop or our lumber or all heavy freight being done by truck only. To complicate matters still more, we have a new facâ€" tor now in transportation facilities and when one realizes the great strides made by aviation transport, it could be seen that eventually, if not now, thore is also new competition for our i railways. All those factors have brought about a fairly acute situation and alâ€" though there is no simple formula to solve it unless we highly increase the railway rates and decrease the railway employees‘ wages which, to my viewâ€" point, are impossible of application, the question is a very hard one to deal with, but I have no doubt that the more we bring it to the attention of public opinion there will be found, if JOHN D. MACKAY, <HERIFF. District of Cochrane. Cochra : not a solution, at least a knowledge of the exact situation. Early last week we had a discussion ‘ of that problem, which was ralsed by Winnipeg members who to keep all its shop employees, whether there was work for them or not. This started a general debate in which a great many participated. The answer of the minister was that the C.P.R. had laid off many shop men last August, but the CNR had taken steps to keep all employed up to date. Now, however, LiAst: asked the ‘ Afton government, if it wanted the CNR.! Aspjey Base Mctals Big Missouri Peattic Bidgood . Bobjo . Bralorne .

He hop>d the management and union representatives would be able to work | Darkwater : Dome .... Eldaorado out the problem. He warned of the dangers of political interference by the government, or by parliament, with the CNR., even if it were for the laudable purpose of asking that all shop men Falconbridge . CHenork‘ ............. CGoldale Granada Gunnar . be employed. Hardrock Speaking on the same subject, Mr. Hollinger Howe stated that the government Howey ... _ tended to stand on guard for continued l Hudson Bay governmental operation of the CN.R. as a separate intity, that there would be no support of a whispering camâ€" | International Nickel f Jackson Manion ‘Kerr Addison . paign of the railway unification undcrf Kirkland Lake . 4 I Lebel Oro always sanction the closest coâ€"operation Prime Minâ€" / a private ownership but that it would between the two systems. ister King summed up the government‘s position quite definitely when he statâ€" ed: "The concern of the government is not only with the wellâ€"being of the railway employees but with the success | of the operation of the governmentâ€" _owned raillways." "Evervy honorable member knows that . Macassa LieltCL\ $ c Lake Shore ... Like Crold ‘........ Little Long Lac McLeod Cockshutt Manitoba and East _ .:.......«....a.

On the same subject Mr. Howe reâ€" On the same subject Mr. Howe reâ€" ferred to the suggested abandonment of 5000 miles of light traffic rail way lines, merging of locomotive and repair shops, consolidation of terminals and similar measures. He made the House realize that in acquiescing to such a suggestion it would easily be seen what trail of destruction it would leave across Canada that would be far more detriâ€" mental than any real reduction in operating expenses. 0 Mss Pn w in l Speaking on the same subject in the soenate, Senator: Arthur Sauve, former Postmasterâ€"General in the Bennett Adâ€" ministration, accused Sir Edward Beatâ€" ty of having "played politics to the exâ€" tont that his vision was obscured." He added he had seen Sir Edward attempt tco iwmany schemes of political combines and interfere in too many others, comâ€" bines which lacked straightforwardness. He could not understand complaints about railway deficits when Canada has spent so much building up highway and air transportation competition. Mr. Howe described the government bill for th» setâ€"up of a Board of Transâ€" port Commissioners aSs courageous move to attempt to bring order out of chaos as to transprtation rates. It was intolerable, he said, that raillway rates should be the barometer of all other transportation.

Ais came from England in 1883 and had a fine record of public service since he came to Canada. He was a cultured gentleman, a great conversationalist, who enjoyed wide popularity amongst all parties. It has been my privilege to have spent several hours with him and I always found him very interesting, having a full grasp of national and inâ€" ternational matters. He semed to ‘be in perfect health even to a few days before his demise. kn ts ats: dsc tï¬ T from the constituency, you are enjoyâ€" ing in Northern Ontario just as fine weather as we in the Capital.

La Reviewing the sales of Cadilllac, La Salle and Pontiac cars during 1937, Mr. Beattie remarked, "Our company has pvery reason to be proud of our achicvement in 1937. I might say," he continued, "we recorded an impressive 300 per cent. increase over the business done in 1936. Incidentally, it was the greatest year in Cadillac history. Purâ€" thermore the business to date this year indicates that 1938 will be as good if not a better year than 1937." Discussing business conditions in genâ€" eral, Mr. Beatiie said that he like cther business men in Canada, had noted the trend in the United States. "But I am convinced," he remarked, "that any temporary slowing up of business which may have been experiâ€" enced by certain industries in the Doâ€" minion can be attrbuted, in a large measure, to a mental reaction.
