A sum of ac millions must be found for the Canadian National Railway next year after the Domin- ion budget is balanced.

Parliament will have the oppor- tunity of discussing any treaty Sign. cd with United States on the St. llawrence Waterways, Premier Ben- nett told the House. But the treaty must be signed and not in process of negotiation before submission, he added. _
