When the public sees and realizes that

voted to the interests of this country,
there will be little difficulty in secur-
ing here the present needed help and
assistance OF the countries of the Old
World"
The president reiterated that the
doors Of this country we've open. but

ready here as well as those who would

race or creed. he asserted.

POINTS TO CANADA'S
PROBLEMS IN PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP OF RVS,

bOStOH, Oct. 1O.-W hat the result
OF Canada's great experiment in pub
lie ownership of railways will be, the
future alone can determine. E. w.
Beatty. chairman and president or
the Canadian Pacific Railway. de-
clared in an address before the
Traffic Club of New England here
tonight. According to President
Beatty. Canada faces a problem III
her rival systems, the privately op-
Grated Canadian Pacific and the
publicly owned National Railways,
Tor which proposed solutions urging
either complete government or COM
plete private control have not been
found practicable.
After tracing the development or
the two systems. the Canadian Pa
cific at first under government sup
ervision and later under private
management and the building, ac-
QUESTION and consolidation of the
National Railways, President Beatty
said:
THE Canadian Pacific is the larg-
est taxpayer in Canada. therefore
the greater the deficits of the Ma
tional Railways, the heavier the
taxes Of the Canadian Pacific; where
as, If the National Railways are sue
cessful by reason of the diversion OF
traffic from the privately owned
system. the loss of revenue to the
latter is greater than that represent
ed by increased taxation. Again. the
greater the revenue OF the Canadian
Pacific. the greater it's contribution
to the exchequer of the rival system
will be. A more delightfully."- incon-
gruous situation it is hardly possible
to imagine."
In the course Of this remarks Mr..
Beatty said that when Canada was
gathering together the greatest pub
licly owned railway system on the
northern half of the North American
continent. some people referred to
the illuminating If .disagreeable con-
sequence Of the United States eX-
cursion into public ownership and
pointed to it as a horrible example.
ITO others of us, however. your
experience. while expensive. was for
tunate and the results were such and
the figures so large that the dangers
Of such situation were brought
home to millions Of people in a very
short space OF time"
Although United States railway
executives had told him. Mr.. Beatty.
said, that in their opinion one of
two solutions was possible. namely,
the extension of the national prin-
ciple to all railways or the absorb
ton of the Nationall system by the
Canadian Pacific. neither possibility
was within the contemplation of the
Canadian people at this time.
President Beatty declared his sys-
tom shared the problems Of roads in
the United States in giving effective
public service and at the same time
maintaining properties and credit
and in seeing that the interests OF
security and share holders were not
jeopardized.

bumper potato crop estimated
=, . ,..rly sO.ooo,ooo bushels is be-

...t Of Agriculture who has just
..,u,ned from that county. 1t IS the
,..,.,. and about the best looking
,,oo ever produced.
Mr. Newdick was in that section

supervised by the State Department

yoIle the potato market is dull. gen.
s,slly speaking the most life has
MON shown in the purchase OF GER
,,sed seed and very nearly GO,WU
bushels have been sold for Southern
ihIpment.
While the outlook for good po-
,,,o crop was rather poor about the
art OF July. the rains Of August
md early September swelled the
eron II is now estimated that the
s,ais Weld will be 33,761 600 bushels
or an increase Of nearly 2;OOO,OOO
bushels over last year. On one field
IN Caribou which Mr.. Newdick
visited, the owner dug 100 bushels
Of Green Mountains from one-half
acre and that was from his COM
lnercial field
The outlook for price is very dis
couraging on account OF the fact
that the harvest of potatoes country
wide Is largo. The best of the po-
;atoes are bringing only 30 cents for
A barrel of 16J pounds. The first
car Of certified seed potatoes will
BE- loaded In Arcostook county this
week for southern Florida and from
now on a steady supply will be ser.t
10 the southern states.
Mr.. Ncwdick asserts that the COM
paint Is quito general in that Sec
ton OF the State that there are not
enough storage places to handle the
crop and IN many cases homo cell
lars are being used for storage. 1t
Is Mr.. Newdick's opinion that the
lack OF storage places exists only
rear the railroad tracks. The great
majority OF the potato producers
desire to move their crop at once
10 the warehouses near the tracks
and that IS responsible in a large
measure for the storage shortage.
There Is no lack of labor in Aroos-
took he reports.
