As a result of the find-
ings of this Commission, thiriy re-
of adjusting matters so as to
place the Maritimes on more of a
Canada. While quite a number of
these recommendations have not as
yet been implemented, several at the
'most important have been either
or partially carried out. I re-
all this for two reasons:
FIRST-That if the affairs of the
Atlantic Provinces had been receiv-
ing that intelligent, co-operative ef-
of Maritime members cf both
parties at Oti.u.\v:i, that
importance justified and we
entitled to expect. there would
have been any need of a I,r_-n-
Commission.
“Onr Country First"
l "The Gazette" of Chatham, in an
‘lrticle entitled “Fighting for the
i/Iarltimes," recently stated:
' “The day has gone by, we hope,
'l when either party in this Domlii-
l ion can treat the Maritimes to the
' fextremeiy raw deals that were
’ put over them from the time of
Confederation almost to date,
and that were excused and even
praised by one party press, and
while they were denounced by
the other side, the people were
confused as to the issue. and in
the main stood by their party, _
right or wrong. Our country
should come first and even the
hide-bound party papers in small
(centres are learning this lessicn
'of putting Province ahead of
party."
In this connection it is also inter-
'_ sting to note a Resolution which
'as introduced at the Annual Meet-
5 _,_  Past President of that Board, and
' ' ne of the most successful business
., _ en of the Maritimes, The Resolution
tered peoples make the visualizing
of complete unity a magnificent
exercise of faith, and its realiza-
tion a goal of glorious achieve-
ment. No such unity is possible
save-_through the medium of that
responsible form of Government,
which may be truly defined as a
Government of all the people, by
all the people, for all the people.
The party system is the only
practical instrument yet evolved
l to give effect to such Responsible
_. ‘Government There are two trends
that weaken the integrity of this
l system: sectionalism. that mani-
fests itself in “hlocs" or third par-
i ties. and blind partisanship
‘which subservcs rightful foster-
i
ll7f,'-; iing of local economic develop-
,li _ment to tlie dictates of party
.Ai - T leaders, who are absorbed in
gr .- _ -,istrlvings for the retention of

'  i their representatives, by the pur-
to thwart the achievement of
true national unity. They expect
the successful candidates of citlicr
-.-ur! intelligent support to the con-
1|.-m struotlve policies of their party.
'-:.-.~| The people of these Provinces
svn* expect nothing from the Parlia-

due in the National interest; but
they do confidently expect that
support of measures to that end
i shall be the first concern of thc
i Maritime representatives of both
parties; that in the insuring of
r :the success of these measures, or
in resisting their defeat, these
representatives shall show a un-
ited front, and thus manifest to
Nation that loyalty, with-
which no party can survive.

Conception and Achievement
When British Columbia agreed to
enter Confederation in 1811, the
main consideration was the linking
up of that far western province with
the cast by a transcontlnental rail-
way. to be commenced in 1873 and
finished in 1881.
Not until 1875 was a start made, and

Canada, and the Canadian Pacific

the Canadian Pacific.

required in this connection, and tiiil
the Department should make capitii
provision for the improvements to I
undertaken within the shortest
