0.P.R. President Submits Plan 0f Unification

Sir Edward Beatty Lists Five Points As Vital FactorsOf Scheme.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) 0T1‘

A .

for unification of the Canadian Pacific and National Railways, aimed at solving Can- ada's railway problem and reliev- ing the debt burden, was present- ed to the axial Senate Railway Committee ay by Sir Beatty, C. P. R. President. in a 8,- OOO-word brief.

Sir Edward listed five Points he regarded as vital to unification. They were:

i. The two railway companies should continue to own their pree- ent. properties. The securities of the companies would remain in their present ownershl . No ques- tion is involved of e value of the properties or of any new cap- ital set-up. '

2. No guarantee should be given to the Canadian Pacific of a re- turn on its stock or other capital issues. “I say this because I am convinced that no guarantee of in-

terest on the debenture stocks and

bonds of the Canadian Pacific will be necessary. As to dividends on the stock I do not see that it is necessary to give shareholders any protection beyond a reason- able opportunity for the company which ey own to earn a reason- able profit."

3. Each group of owners should continue to receive under uni- fication the net carnin which pest experience indlca their company would have received as

ndent- Minstituticn, and

» rindepc t at the additional net esrnin mad

K6 e available by unification be

shared between them on an equit- able basis. "I assume that the Government would directly receive at least half of these savings. These details, of course. could only bc determined at the time of the formal contract"

4. Adequate pro ision should be made to prevent t c unified com- pany from neglecting its duty as a public utility and depriving any community necessary railway service. “This. of course. can be easily arranged by adding. if ne- cessary. to the strength and pow- ers of the Bard of Railway Com- missioners. I may remind you that the board among its very were today control the cancellaton of trains. the closing of stations and the abandonment of lines."

5. Adequate provision should be made to protect the rights of railway workus.

Lobster inquiry Waste 0f Money Says Member

Expenses Might Have Been Better Used To Aid Fishermen, Claim.

arrows, May za_<cp>_m. (Tilt-y hfy a. Royal Commission into ilegal 13111115 and canning of lob- sters New Brunswick and Pfhwd Edward Island was a waste o: mon- ey. A. J. Brooks (Con. Royal) told the House of Common; tonight.

liiaets found by the Commission could have been obtained by any officials of the Fisheries Depart- ment and were fairly well known in the areas concerned. Everyone knew there was a considerable amount of illegal fishing and can- ning. Expenses of the Commission amounting to more than 39.030 might have been used in aiding the fishermen in the purchase of nets and gear.

Poverty amongt that fishermen was an 1m rilflm fac or making for illegal fplsohing. The Department should institute an educational Campaign to convince fishermen that by disregard of the laws and regulations they were killing the goose that lays the golden egg and destroying the fizh resources.

He wanted to known what steps were being taken to see that fish- ery guardians were not recruited from lobster poachers and to pre- vent cannerles from buying lobsters out of season.

Fisheries Nliinister Miohaud slid the commission was appointed be- cause of suggestions the supply of lobsters was decre g. It was known there was illegal fishing but numerous prosecutions of fill‘ rrnen would have iIBQgiFTZBIQCIi-JS pin‘- secution. The mrnission investi- Bliiifln made the public a/ware of the situation and enlisted pulblic opinion in the cause of reform. The department was able to make chan- ges which improved the situation.

These changes were beneficial to the fishermen in the next season and the supply of lobsters were greater in the lawful fishing sea- son. The department put a stop to ccnnrfles proving on the needs of the fishermen by operating out of search, packing out of season and lrldllClng fishermen to fish out of season.

Improvements had been made in the selection of guardians to watch the fishing grounds in the closed season. But lg had not yet been possible to put these officials un- der the closed season. An educa- tional campaign. as suggested by Mr. Brooks. had been started. He believed the outlav on the com- mission had been well Spent.

Japanese Drive Toward Kaifeng

SHANGHAI. May 25—(Wednes- day)-—(AP)—Japanese troops and blucjackets are pressing their osm- paign into Central China both hry rail and by river.

In Honan Province. the Japanese offensive pushed toward Kaifeng. ancient capital of China 40 miles cast of the junction of Chengchow of the Lunghal and Penning-Han- kow Railways.

The Japanese Navy's Ygngtzg River squadron ended weeks of in- activity by steaming upstream 0O miles from Wiihu and shelling points along the banks. Naval planes scouted both banks of the river. but the gunboats made no attempt to lend marines or convey troop trons- ports upstream.

OUTLINES POSITIDN

The League covenant contained articles providing for economic and itary sanctions against an ag- grmsor and Mr. King set forth the Canadian position in the light of the experience of the League. was generally agreed sanctions could not be applied in the present state of affairs but the covenant had not been amended.

"So far as the Canadian govern- ment is concerned" said Mr. King, “the sanctions art cles have ceased to have effect by general practice and consent and cannot be revised byiuany state or group of states at w ,' , . ~‘~-

Bo far as Canada's position in the Commonwealth was concerned there were no commitments either to ‘engage in war or remain neu- tra. 1n particular cases and Mr. King believed there should be no comnntments. If a situation arose where warlike action was proposed it would be matter for the parlia- ment of Canada to decide.

OFFERED NO ADVICE

Canada offered no advice to the United Kingdom on foreign policy and was not bound by the United Kingdom's decisions. Any some.- tlons to the contrary in London. or elsewhere were without foundatmn.

“1110id8f1iaJly." he added, “may I say the time has come to cease speaking of the ‘dominions’ as if they were some peculiar half- fledged type of community. and all alike in their interests and views.

“Such s. usa e leads to confus- ion at best an to alibis and mis- representations at worst. South Af- rloe ls South Africa. New Zealand is New Zesland. Australia is Aus- tralia and Canada is Canada and it wi.1 help to good understanding ifitiéant. elementary fact.is borne in m n

An embargo on the export of ma- terials to Japan would have no e.‘- fect on the Chinese conflict. . King cited trade figures to show this and said representations fav-

voriml an embargo were based on a

misrepresentation of the situation. PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP

"Our foreign and external policy is one of peace and friendliness, a policy of trying to 100k after our own interests and to understand the position of other governments with which we have dcalin s.

"It is a policy which ta es ac- count of our political connections and traditions. our geo position, the limited num rs racial composition of our people. our stage in economic development. our own internal preoccupations and necessities-hi short a policy based on the Canadian situation.

t is not and cannot be under these conditions a spectacular head- fine poll . It is simply the sum of the coun less daily dealln with other countries. the genera result- ant of an effort to act decently and a hope of receiving the same treat- ment from hers.
