meni; that the scheme oi Hon. W. D. Euler for joint operation under a holding company was “merely another name for amalgamation," featured the speech here last night oi Hon. R. J. Msnion, Minister of Railways and Canals.

After e. isw years of the joint operation proposed by Mr. Euler. the Minister said, "you could not separate the two railways any more than you can unscrsmble an omelet."

Dr. Monica was speaker at a public meeting here under the aus- picel oi’ the Smith's Falls Liberal Conservative Association. Arrivin! in‘ the early evening he was guest oi honor at a banquet, lcllowed by the meeting.

A considerable part of the Min- ister's speech was devoted to the problem oi the railways with which his department is intimately can- nected. '

“We have been accused through- out by the Liberals oi being the promoters oi amalgamation. yet none of us oi the cabinet has ever supported the proposal; now here is one of the ohiti Liberal lieuten- ants, a minister in the last gov- ernment, and one who. ii Mr. King happened to win the next eiectionu would be a ministsrin the next Liberal government, virtually ad- vocating amalgamation.

I “It is true," he said, “that in the Toronto Globe oi Dec. 15 Mr. iKing, being asked by the Globe

representative as to his attitude i on the Euler speech, stated that it was the same as the Liberal par- ty's ‘attitudc on Feb. 27, 1033. namely: v

" ‘The Liberal party stands for (the. maintenance 0i the integrity of the Canadian National Rall- wsys as a publicly owned and pub- licly controlled service.‘

Not a Reply At All

“To me," said Mr. Mariion, “this is not a reply at all, as you could have unification or amalgamation under government control inside‘ the four comers of that reply.

“Xi. is Mr. King's move now to tell the country just what position Ml‘. Elliot's plan holds in Mr. King's mind. The people will be waiting ior his answer.”

While Dr. Msniori said that the railway situation was probably Canada's most serious problem he suggested that some speakers and writers were too panicky about it. It was very doubtful, he said. ii the present was a good time to come to a decision as to what should be done about the problem "unless we are absolutely certain that the cure would be better than the disease." Business was reviv- ing, hc declared. and railway rev- enues, up $37,000,000 so far this year, showed it. Other indices pointed to improvement. "Under these circumstances it would ap- pear to be the part oi wisdom to wait a little longer before making irrevocable decisions which might not be either for the railways of ior liiadn."

BEST siiici BEPR_E_§SIDN

Western Canada- Re- ,ports Better Busi- ness, While a Con- siderable Improve- ment Is Noted In Maritimes.

(C.,P. By Guardian's Special tWlre)

While cash registers iingied mar- rily, merchants across Canada. to- day stood ready for the final spurt oi a Christmas trade widely le- garded as the best the nation has seen since the onset of the world depression.

From Winnipeg came word that the West was having its brightest Christmas in iive years while Montreal merchants had exper- ienced none to equal it since 1930.

A statement from the Ontario Retail Merchants‘ Association was more qualified while the Mari- times reported s. slight general in- crease which was expected to ex- pand toward the end oi the week.

A rising retail volume, particu- larly in lines of household neces- sities which have reached the re- placement stage, was reported by George S. sughan of the Ontario Retail Merchants’ Association. In clothing and allied lilies he heard from retailers that there was a steady demand for reasonably priced merchandise. 1n almost ev- ery line oi consumer goods, he

said. there was a larger turnover than in 1933 but a sustained in- crease awaited iurther activity in

the construction industry, he thought.

In the Maritlmes, a marked im- provement was noted in the Cape Breton area. Due to greater em- ployment in the mines and steel works there. At, Saint John, N. 3., sales were said to be better than last year and business volume was gradually increasing to a level above that or the past few years.

All lines of trade were reported showing a. distinct improvement in Western Canada. Victoria. B. 0.. told oi.’ slightly improved business with jewelry stores registering the best sales in iivo years. Vancouver business was said to be fair with a greater volume expected.

In Calgary, activity was well ahead oi i933, one store noting a 10 percent rise in sales. Edmonton felt much ireer spending with a good demand ior higher quality goods. Regina sales were slightly higher than last. year while at Saskatoon there was concrete ev- idence that farmers had more money than they had last Christ- mas. .

Henry Detchom, general manag- er oi the Canadian Credit Men's Trust Association in Winnipeg, iound business “much better" than last year. Particularly good. he said, was the business which the east was doing with Western Canada. This trade was “away up."
