A somewhat new iniiwflli" 11°‘ parturo has been made by 111° K1115 Government recently in the deci- alon m.“ ml, lcanndlnn National Railways shall hereafter curry their own insurance. A bill to K1119- effect to illls tleclsiolnw“ 1111111‘ lluced on 20th ,-\l>1'11- 11y 1101b G911: l’. Graham, acting Minister ofihllh whys, and in reply w 111E111 111111111" able Mr. Melglien was purtlslly ox- plnlned -by him. The not as thus brought out are that the National Runway properties’ have hitherto been insured in thollnsurunee corn; panics of the country. fhejllwiiii! of insurance‘ thus curried being over $300,000,000, and when the ‘In- lercolonial ‘Railway is included, which has hitherto carried its own insurance the amount t0 118 08111011 would be about $400,000,000.

lt was further disclosed that an inquiry and report had ‘been made, the result of which had been acou- clusion that a very considerable saving could be ulade by the Na.- tlonal Railway iConlpany carrying its own insurance. lt was also brought ollt ‘by Mr. Graham that tlie old Grand Trunk Railway Corn pany had carried its own insurance at a profit and on its being ilrougiii into the National system llad a sur- plus to the credit of its insurance filnd of about $2,000,000.

Mr. Melghen mentioned tile fact that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company carries its own lnflurnlice advantageously. lie had made in- quiries and found this to be so. but did not slate tlle amount of the saving, which is of course a private matter.

Dr. Dfllllllilfllltrl Reply

=Slr.—Dr. Pldgcoll’: criticism of my “way out" makes plain how difficult it is to get. another to use your point. The bin-me, llfimino. I lament.

or. Hdgaon says of my plan:— “itsI fundamental. weakness in found 1n» his own wbrdw-‘ln my thought the units would retain their iden- tity and autonmnyfi." He adds, in a conclusion.‘ that is absolutely ll- logical and without justification. "according to, this there is to lu- l\0 union ut all." Then. on the strength of this wrong inference. Dr. Pidgeoll hitters his five-fold condemnation: (1) Not keeping faith; (2) disregarding the votes of prcsbyterlcs; (3) not meteing the difficulties of cit-operating charges; (4) 0i‘ the demands for more than cooperation offers; (5) my reasons are self-destructive. "being born of fear," and lack of trust ill ‘lllliffS uobler tluulltles.

PlalnLv, IDr. iPidgeon misses my central thought of a federal union. which may be tile most vltul -union of all. iln u federal union. as illny memorandum E-Tearly shows, _th'e common interests of tlie units in the federation are referred to a central authority, while the specific interests of each unit are‘ left if! the control of that ullit. Tllus the ullit. retains its identity and tllll0- ilomy.

The provinces of ollr Dominion retuin their identity and autonomy (save as certain powers ill general nlilltcrs are assigned to tlie fed eral Government.) hilt that does llot mean that “there is no union at all" ill our Dominion. The vari- ous units constituting the British Empire retain their identity and autonomy (save as certain powers in general matters nre held by the British 'GOV0l‘lllllelli), bilt tllilt does not ‘lllellll that. fllere is “no llllioll av nil“ in ille Empire. It is tllc glory of our Empire that it is loose l_v knit, has not written constitu tion-dust "milddlcs tiilklligll," but where more vital ilnity or more unbreakable dmllds, or more glori- ous “muddiillg”? r

Let Dr. iPidgeoll or any other rcadcr liold llllS simple thought oi my plzlll clearly in mind. and they will see that -niy plan culls for ulli-

HOW THE FARMER FARES.

The Slllbfilflllliii-l gimevnnco the farmer has against lop-sided de- flation of pllccs is well presented ‘by commodity price statistics tn- ken from the Department of La- *i.-or index. They show a renlnrk- able slate of affairs bearing on lilo purcllalsing power of the fur- iner:

Grains and fodder show an in- crease from 1914 to i923 oi‘ 30.6. Animals and mcilt l8. Dairy pro- dllce 52.4; llltics and tuiiow show a ilecrcasc of 59. 0n thi;
