The Government. Reply.

The reply OF the Government TO this
is that its action is not based upon any
special belief In the efficacy OF public
ownership, but upon a clear realization
that the requirement of the Grand
Trunk is matter OF national necessity
ii maintains that because the Grand
Trunk was not in position to meet
It's obligations, and because the people
Of Canada, sick and weary of raids on
the national treasury, declined to fur
nish financial clutches for crippled rail
ways any longer. the Government was
faced by two courses only: Il had either

Favorable comment has been heard on

more speculative issues. but as yet, with
the exception of n . point rise in Bank

changes OF importance in quotations
The market for mining shares was
stronger at the end Of the week. but
the volume of tradine continued small.
The voluntary return to work Of the
miners at Kirkland Lake camp after

favorable factor. Another incident was

The Oppo.ition's case.

The opposition to the ssrcouvut.
briefly summarized is based upon your
separate grounds: % That in the dviu.
days of the session a measure 80 such
magnitude should not hrvc been sub
United for ratification G., that with
the country slready overburdeu~l with
dc bt and deficits il should not b. asked
TO assume an additional liability or such
gigantic proportions go that tire Gov
eminent should not haze agreed "a ~
bitrlte upon the purcha Sc price OF stoch
which manifestiy possessed no value
and % that in the launching out upon q
public ownership scheme of such tre-
mendous dimensions. the Government Is
committing the country TO gamble
which may terminate with disastrous re-
suits The latter argument WAS forcihly
put forward by Hon. W. r. Fielding. who
for fifteen years was Finance Minister
in the Administration OF Sir WilfIid
Laurier. and whose views command the
widest respect Said Mr.. Fielding:
II have an open mind on the question
OF Government ownership. / would like
to see it become successful. But / am
frank enough to say that ! view it with
great deal OF doubt and much gravity.
] am afraid that democracy has its
troubles, and that sometimes democracy
is not able to manage as well as indie
pendent corporations. | do not know
whether that in good democratic doctrine
or not but that is how Il strikes me.
l do not attack the principle OF public
ownership. | do not condemn the Gov
eminent for taking over the Canadian
Northern but surely with $4,000 miles OF
railway now in the hands of the Gov
eminent II had good opportunity of Civ
ing public ownership a test. II is being
tested elsewhere and not with great
success Public ownership was popular
in the United States three years ago
To-day public ownership is discreditsd in
the United States by the most respon-
sible men. ] doubt If the United States
to-day could be induced to accept public
ownership as they We're willing 10 ac-
cept II a few months ago. ] do not
ask the House to condemn public owner
ship. | do not even ask-apart from
the particular transaction that I have
been forced to criticise-the House so
pass judgment upon the merits of tie
scheme but ! know that the most sober
minded men in this House, some of
whom are sitting on the opposite side
feel that this is grave and dangerous
experiment"

The Grand Truak situation.

The decision of the Government to
acquire the Grand Trunk Railway by
arbitration, while not liked by the bust
ness community for its expected effect
IN the long run on railway efficiency.
nevertheless clears up situa tlon which
has for some time been disqulcting, and
which contained the elements OF much
more serious trouble in the possibility
Of some form of connscatory action
such as has been proposed several times
by prominent members Of the Govern
ment.

Grand Trunk have been a barrier to

Another cause for market confidence
Is the impending big loan. for unless
there are very untoward and unfure-

not likely to permit an extensive market

expectation OF further strength and up-
