After stating that the successfnl operation of the Ontario Hydroâ€" Electric enterprises and of the Naâ€" tional Railways themselves, under Sir Henry ‘Thornton, had shattered the theory that public ownership could not be as efficient as private ownership, the speaker went on to show that the soâ€"called Shaughnessy plan, under which the C. P. R. would "In my opinion," he proceeded, "it would be in the interests of the Canadian people if these roads were combined under public ownership, so that the country would get the beneâ€" fit of the saving made, and not the private corporation, which would. enjoy a monopoly of railway busi-‘ ness in Canada. 1 know that my statement sounds like an extreme s‘atement, but I am not making it without some reason, and, if it is wellâ€"founded, it transcends in imporâ€" tance all other matters before us at the present time, and 1 think it beâ€" comes the duty of the Government to take some action. I am not tryâ€" ing to be dogmatic. I have my own opinion as to what ought to be done, but I believe it becomes the duty of the Government toâ€"at least make ar investigation as to whether this statement of the saving that can be effected is founded on fact Or not. For my part, I hold it unthinkable that a private corporation should bhave a national monopoly of a great public utility such as the railways of Canada. If there is to be a monâ€" opoly it must be held by the people themselves." + Success of Public Ownership. The speaker recognized the dan â€" gers, but submitted that amalgamaâ€" tion was a necessity and that the savings therefrom should go to the country as a whole and not to a private corporation. "I swbmit that this matter of the railways and the savings that could be effected by amalgamation, is the most important question before Parâ€" liament and the country today, barâ€" ring none. I say that it is of treâ€" mendous importance. If $100,000,000 can be taken off our tax levy each year, it will have an effect on the Andustry of the country that will be simply inculculable." After pointing out that the diffiâ€" culties of the National Railways had been inherited from its privately owned predecessors, and for that reason could not be attributed to public ownership, he referred to the fact that previously he had estiâ€" mated the saving that would accrue from a welding of the two systems] at $75,000,000. statement there could ihe saved the colossal sum of $100,000,000 a year. That is nothing iess than ~#~ staggering the two lines on n'_ public ov;e:.u;_ "I say now," he continued, "and I want to say that I say this upon the highest authority, that it the two roads could be amaigamated costs, W. D. Euler, Liberal memser SYor North Waterloo, during the reâ€" aumed Budget debate in the House of Commons on April 27th, ur;.d{ the Government to take immediate in . the Dominion‘s fl'u annuami saving of [ _ "First, it will enable the Governâ€" ment to reduce tatation by nearly oneâ€"third, or at least oneâ€"quarter., It will restore confidence and encourâ€" age the Canadian people to go ahead knowing that light is breaking at last on our financial horizon. 1t vwill stimulate«trade. Jt will lower the ‘cost of living. It will encourage‘ ‘cntefprise and lead to the more rapid development of our natural resources. It will at once solve our general freight rates problem. And finally, on it could be based a pracâ€" tical scheme for the extinction of our enormous public debt; to which may be attributed most of our diffiâ€" culties." "In conclusion, 1 merely wish to summarize what results we can exâ€" pect if we grapple courageously with the suggestion. ‘ "Let me repeat," said Mr. Euler, in conclusion, "if $100,000,000 can be saved to this country by a union of the two great railways systems it constitutes a challenge to Parliaâ€" ment and to the Government, and 1 believe the people of Canada will expect some sort of action, even if it be only investigation of what I say, I think that the Government can in duty do nothing less, and if it finds it true, its duty is so clear that the neglect of it would be inexcusable. Don‘t suffer from lumbago, nenâ€" Talgia or other pains. Apply . Minard‘s to the aching spot and get quick relief. Mr. Euler admitted that @oâ€"operaâ€" tion between the two railways under éxisting conditions would be advanâ€" tageous in itself, but he did not think that coâ€"operation would wholly solve the difficulty. In answer to critics he pointed out that, so far as the C.P.R. shareholders were conâ€" cerned, amalgamation under public ownership would not make any difâ€" ference one way or the other. They would still draw their return on their investment as under private ownership. Coâ€"operation A&Rlnugem come back to Parliament on that fasue." [ True, there was the danger that the alternative of public ownership involved the risk of political conâ€" trol, but Mr. Euler believed that "the people of Canada would destroy any Government that would dare to hand over the National Railways to a priâ€" vately owned corporation. 1 believe they would wipe out the candidates of private monopoly."
