NEW SCHEME FOR
HUDSON BAY LINE
Boat Line Across James Bay
IF Hudson Straits Are
Unnavigable -

Ottawa, Jan. 17.-Hon. Frank
Cochrane. minister of railways. has
offered the people two strings to their
bow in the matter Of an outlet for
navigation of the strait not prove q
success. 1t will. says the minister, be
possible to run boats from whatever
port chosen on the bay across James
Bay via the Nottaway river and thence
by connection with the National
Transcontinental railway to Atlantic
ports. Another expedition to the bay
port is chosen. No time will be lost
in construction and the road will be
ready in two or three years. This
was the sum Of the information gain
ed through lengthy discussion on
the project in the house today. While
the discussion in the house was pri-
marily based upon the construction Of
the Hudson Bay route. the keynote
OF the debate was the present condi-
tion of affairs existing in the west in
connection with the car shortage. In
deed the question of the Hudson Bay
line would scarcely have occupied SO
much time in the house had the other
topic not been interviewer Herewith.
The discussion emanated from an ad-
dress by j. A. NJ. Atkins. Brandon.
for copy OF all correspondence. ETC.,
not appearing in the seasonal papers
with regard to the Hudson Bay road.
Mr.. Atkins advocated that a choice
should at once be made of terminals.
since without a terminal the railway
would be of no value.
The discussion. however, lead fur.
ther than Mr.. Atkins had calculated.
His statement that the west was
handicapped as against the east in
bearing "the burden Of duties under
the national policy" was taken up by
DR.. Clark Of Red Deer who explain
ed that 1t was heresy on the part of
Mr.. Atkins on the government side to
admit that the national policy was
a burden. and heresy for him to say
that It was undesirable for Canada to
trade with the south.
In the speeches which followed
there was note Of the aftermath of
reciprocity. and 1t was forcibly driven
home by Liberal speakers that the
pact which was rejected would have
provided. a panacea for the Ills which
induced western conservative mem.
bers now to advocate q speedy COM
pletion of the Hudson bay route. The
west carried out under the present
evil conditions for shorter and cheap
er routes. 1t would have them II re-
ciprocity had carried. The west de-
sired more facilities for the transpor-
tation Of it's grain; 1t would not have
had to wait for the Hudson Bay road

the latter would not have injured In
