in the near future. forshadowed by the in.
tense interest In the application OF the
Canadian Northern Railway to the Do.
m'nion Government for financial aid on a
huge scale. Indicate that the Canadian
railway situation is fast approaching a
critical state.
The seriousness OF the situation In the
near future was more than hinted az
by the general counsel for the Canadian
Northern In his concluding argument In
the western freight rates inquiry before
the Board OF Railway Commissioners In
December. when he stated that within
eighteen months the interest reauirme n,s.
on per cent basis on the total COS,
OF construction and equipment OF the
three transcontinental roads, would ex-
coed their earnings by many millions
This statement was intended to show
the unwisdom OF reduction OF western
freight rates. II was uttered by ex-JudRe
Phippen. the eminent counsel Of the Ca
madam Northern. as n solemn warning
But now. that the Canadian Northern is
applying directly to the Dominion Gov
eminent FOR "A bond guarantee of

Last spring the Dominion Government
granted a cash subsidy OF SIG. 00O, 900 to
the Canadian Northern. The proposal met
with considerable opposition IN parl!a-
ment and out OF Parliament. and this
opposition was only s!lenced by the state
msnt that the aid then asked would be
sufficient to enable the company to COM
plete the road
Early In the present session OF Parlia-
ment. however. II was currently reported
that Mackenzie and Mann would ask the
Government for a loan Of SIS. 100000 or
more to complete the road and provide
necessary equipment. The frequent visits
of Sir William and Sir Donald TO Otta va
seemed to confirm this and until two
weeks ago II was generally believed that
they were sounding the Government. as
to It's attitude toward a proposal for a
huge loan. There was some precedent
for loan. as evidenced by the SIS. 600. 900
loan many years ago to the Canadian
Pacific and the recent loans. one as late
as last year. to the Grand Trunk Pacific.
A storm OF opposition TO a loan arose,
and two weeks ago. Just before the an
nouncement OF the Dominion Government
loan OF s2S. 100000 In London. the Min.
lister OF Finance authorised the statement
that no loan would be made to the Cana
dian Northern. 1t 10 generally supposed

The amount OF the proposed bond guar
antse has not been definitely announced
and has probably not been decided. The
Government has asked the Canadian
Northern TO produce the fullest informa-
ton as to It's present financial condition
and as TO Its requirements for the COM
pletlon and equipment Of It's system. II
is understood that the Government IL also
asking Sir william and Sir Donald TO
furnish satisfactory security. They are
interested heavily in Brazilian and Mex
lean enterprises, Including Brazilian and
Sac Paulo traction and power companies,
which have been largely financed IN Lon
don and Amsterdam. and they are be-

say that the low grades will sreatly in
