Mr. Howe said it was the govern- ment's intention to appoint an out- standing representative of labor to the board. The government would have no direct representation on the board and will not return to the former practise of making the de- puty minister of railways a director. All contact between the railway and the govemmcnt will be through the chairman of the board and the min. ister or railways. The new set-up will be different from that of Sir Henry Thornton, Mr. Howe said. Thomton had a direct contract with the government with the railway department repre- sented on the board by the deputy minister. The new board's contract will be continuous, not casual as before. REVIEWS EVENTS Mr. Bennett proceeded to a review of the events leading up to the Dun Commission's inquiry and read ex- tracts from the commission's report. No more competent commission had ever been appointed to make an in- vestigation, he said. The commis- sion's report had been somewhat misconstrued because a constant ef- fort had been made to make the people believe the Conservative gov- ernment was opposed to the Can- adian National. There was a school of thought in Canada. which always sought to may politics with any serious problem and the Liberal opposition of a few years ago had joined that school with reference to the C. N. R... he stated. Mr. Bennett said he hoped the railway would be successful un- der the Liberal Government. He had hoped much more strontzly it would be successful under his own government. Every sensible Canad- ian did the same because the suc- cess of the Canadian National was essential to Canada. "The Minister (Mr. Howe) omit- ted nll reference to one point." said Mr. Bennett. "He did not tell this House that railway difficulties could be solved by taking up thousands of miles of rail. by abandoning tracks. That is where politics come in. Neither the Minister nor m.V!L‘ll CHI lift this question out of politics he- eause it has been steeped in Pollilcl for 25 years." Every time abandoning any mile- age was suggested In the last. five years the Liberal opposition l'l|l5‘-‘d a protest. They charged the stove?“- ment was seeking to destroy the railway.

M.r. Bennett said this was not true and wanted it withdrawn. The Temiscouata. member said the whole story came out before the House banking committee but unfortunately he did not have the‘ report so he could quote. it accur-I alcly. He was quite sure, ilo\vcve':, his facts were corrected. The Speaker ruled he must with-i, draw the remark and Mr. Pallliotl sparred for time. Finance Minister Dunning sug-1 scared to Mr. Poullot. he obey the‘ Speaker's ruling. Mr. Bennett insisted on a, with- drawal. The Speaker pressed again. .But the triple appeal had no er- feet on Mr. Pouliot who rushed from the chamber, his speech un- dellvered. shouting "I will see the book before withdrawing." CONDEMNS ‘BILL In his condemnation of the ONE. bill. the Conservative leader asked: "How is this country to save itself if we continue to play p01- itics with the Canadian Nationzll?" The report of the Duff Commis- sion. which led to the trustee sys- tem of management, was studded with warnings of the inevitable dis- asters following political interfer- ence with the innnngelltent. .\Ir. Bennett declared. “After all, members of P:lrlia- ment are human. They are think-i lng of their constituencies and‘, their party fortunes. Their desire‘ to project. a. branch line here and‘ a branch line there. to extend fur-| ther this line and that line, reflects the inevitable disaster that. over. takes parliamentary effort. to deal with a. property owned by the people themselves," he warned. Mr. Bennett could me ill zhe bill, a plan "to get back to the thin red thread of cxtravagallcc and worse, to complete subjugzution of this property to political colisideratinlis and control." He feared “:1. state of, mind on the part of those en-‘ trusted with responsibility at head-‘ office, unconscious if you like, that; expresses itself in a desire to please those who are in office." ‘ The railway problem could bot solved only by di‘.'orcing it entirely‘ from party politics, Mr. Bennett said. forilfying this view by ex- ccrpts from the Duff report. One of the basic troubles was too much mileage, perhaps two or three times i too much and the people should realize this meant. they must. pay, pay and pay. Some idea of the magnitude of the financial problem of the C.N.R.. Mr. Bennett said, could be realized in the fact the people must be taxed $1.75 each second to meet. deficits and other charges He could see no relief from this in the proposals 01' the government. Unification Suggestrri W. A. Walsh (Cons. Mount Royal-Montreal). said at least one member of the cabinet, Trade Min- lster Euler, had advanced unifica- tion as a solution but Mr. Howe had not even mentioned it. If uni- fication was a solution it should be adopted. The govemment .-ehould state its attitude. While Mr. Walsh was inclined to regard unification with favor he said he Was opposed to amalgamation. "If anyone has a. thought this ensure is a first step to a pro_cm.nl of extravagance he had bettmr dis- miss the idea at once," said Mr. Howe as he closed the debate. "Nothing is further from our minds." There was no royal road to solu- tion of the railway problem and lllflt VII the reason the govern- ment had not put its bill forward as a solution. 'I'he basis or trustee lysilm was co-operation and co- operation had been tried for three years and found wanting. In lest the government had had to find 350300.000 to meet C.N.R. deficits and in 1935, despite an in- crease in revenues, 055,000,000. This year the railway budget called for a deficit of 058000.000. but Mr. Howe said he had called the trustees to Ottawa and asked “ optimistic ‘1'nl)n1't, of Cniollel Robinson added!

"The residents of Mallleque Blllfi pear to have been perhaps the: greatest offenders in their refusal‘ to muster," according to the Ma- jor.
