Dear Sir:â€"From time to time someée enthusiast proposes that there would be a high public advantage thnough government interference with the ordinary processes of trade...

It means that while the Government does not feel it can do anything under the cirecumstances as they are at present, the Governâ€" ment is anxious to assist the settlers in the matter, and will do if and |when‘‘ opportunity arises. In case jof a reâ€"organization of the company such an occasion would arise.

To the settlers however, it is a very serious matter. It means to the settlers, in many cases, the difference between success and absolute failure.
