The report, made by George A. Touche and Company, amplifies rc- commendatlons by the auditors last year for reduction in the capital structure of the railway, reducing debts mostly claimed to be mean- ingless. Last year's recommenda- tions presented to the House of Commons Committee studying the madb annual statement cams near the end of the parliamentary session and members asked their amplific- ation which arrived after the House had prorogued.

At the request of I-lon. W. D. Eu- ler. former Minister oi National Revenue, a supplementary report was prepared for members oi the committee. but. last week Prime lilliriistcr R. B. Bennett told the House interference in the capital structure was inadvisable at this time because some shareholders of the former Grand Trunk Railway, one of the components of the na- tional system, had launched renew- ed action to recover on their secur- lties.

The report made public yesterday contains five majorrecommcnda- tions:

‘rransfer of the old Canadian Northern stock would be made by the government in return for 180,- 000 shares of C. N. R. capital stock.

It was noted, however. that while the suggestions will bs discussed in committee obstacles mentioned by the Prime Minister are considered likely to balk their execution. Be- sides part oi the government's re- form programme contemplates abol- ition oi no-par-value stock.

The auditors found steps they re-

commended advisable in the case of sound practice and called attention to the railway situation o! the Uni- ted States and steps taken through the Reconstruction Finance Cor-pol‘- ation and pending under the new bill for reorganization of railways to permit reorganization on a con- tracted capital structure without re- course to receivership. " They held that as such steps were being taken in the United States the Canadian National should be permitted "in a restricted sort of way" to apply remedies such as "are practtical and capable oi accomplish- men ."
