Beatty, K.C., LL.D., Chairman and President, Canadian Pacific Railway--Urges unified effort to solve questions threatening integrity of State. Atariff structure based solely upon the actual economic needs of the country; a deeper appreciation of and a wider and more active application of sympathetically intelligent thought to agricultural problems; and the unification of Canadian railroads for the purpose of operation as the only means of overcoming the present disastrous debt structure created through public ownership, were the three major themes emphasized by E. W. Beatty, K.C, " LL.D., Chairman and President, Canadian Pacific Railway, during the course of a forceful out- ific Ry. country' problems be-I fore the Re-gina Board of Trade on Feb-1 ruary 5th. Basing his appeal upon the firm foundation that a "service of individuals, individual groups, and sections of the country to the whole State is the only safe road for the future", Mr. Beatty appealed to the country at large to make this theme the dominating note in approaching the problems of the day. Again voicing his sincere belief in the ultimate destiny of Canada, Mr. Beatty emphasized the necessity of a mutual understanding between all sections of the country, and insisted that should this objective be achieved, the unified effort of all citizens would go far toward solving problems which now threaten the integrity of the State. In the light of thi3 argument Mr. Beatty felt that he had every right to discuss the tariff, citing the fact that the Canadian Pacific Railway was most decidedly susceptible to the effects of unstable tariff conditions. "Give me a tariff policy advantageous to the Canadian National Railways and I shall be quite content," he said. Mr. Beatty was neither a believer in protection with no limit nor in free trade. He believed in the maximum of national wealth fairly distributed among the citizens. The Canadian tariff should be one which would keep oar internal and external trade combined at a maximum. Mr. Beatty illustrated his argument by citing the fact that .Canada enjoyed a greater foreign commerce per capita than either of the two more important American Republics, namely the United States and the Argentine, and said that he would like to see the preparation of a tariff balance sheet which would give an analysis of the effect of the tariff on the total income and purchasing power of the Canadian people, and urged that in view of the present position of capital and labor, an examination of the economic soundness of our tariff jpolicy should look to future improvement rather than to drastic attempts to correct past errors. Emphasizing that agriculture was the primary industry, and voicing his appreciation that agriculture in Western Canada was passing through a period of great difficulty, Mr. Beatty said that Governmental assistance and that of private business institutions had on the whole, been constructive. "I may say," he added, "without boasting, that the emergency reductions in freight rates voluntarily made by the Canadian Pacific Railway for farm relief during the past five years represent a loss in income to us of at least $3,000,000." There were two necessary measures looking toward permanent recovery. First there was what the farmer could do and was doing for himself, to make the farm home largely self-supporting through the use of better seed, improved methods, and the expansion of live-stock operations. Secondly there was what others could do to help Western agriculture. The capital invested In the farms of Canada must receive returns if any important block of capital was to be regard- ' ed as safe. Other labor could not hope for the permanence of a -devel of wages too high above the earnings of labor on the land. Mr. Beatty expressed unswerving confidence that private business would find a road, now being eagerly sought, whereby it could render material assistance to agriculture. Pointing out that the Canadian people pay for the railway services which they receive, and all the costs of Government, Mr. Beatty emphasized that the railway problem was in reality the problem of every individual citizen. The cost to the public in freight charges of moving a ton a mile in Canada was as low as in any major country in the world. Unhappily the full advantage of these low rates was not retained because taxes paid, or to be paid, to meet the annual deficits of the Canadian National Railways must be added to the actual freight charges. The real cost of transportation in Canada was not as cheap as it seemed to be, or as it should be. Two current suggestions for improve-tent in operating efficiency ere, first, the adoption of modernistic equipment, and secondly, drastic reduction in wages. Owing to the huge investment in existing equipment, and the difficulty of finding capital to finance new equipment, he indicated that progress along the lines of the first suggestion would of necessity be slow. Mr. Beatty argued strongly against reduced wages, and pointed out that railway employees spent wages as well as earned them. He felt that railway as well as other wages were out of line with the returns to the farmers for their labor, but emphasized his belief that the remedy lay in an increase in the farmers' earnings rather than a lowering of the standard of living among railway workers. Another suggested solution was the proposal to increase freight rates. The freight rate trend was downward, and Mr. Beatty would greatly regret to see an increase in rates until everything possible was done to eliminate waste. The argument that there was no waste in transpoAtion and all that the country neeMed to do was to await the return bf prosperity was not, Mr. Beatty considered, sound. Restoration ,of business to the high levels of 1925-1929, would not come as. a gift of Heaven, or overnight, but only as a result of national industry and thrift. Mr. Beatty replied to arguments that under his unification proposal the Canadian Pacific would take over the assets of the Canadian National while the liabilities would be left to the Government. "Unified management will do nothing of the kind. The physical assets of the Canadian National -will remain the property of its owners. Similarly the liabilities of the Canadian National must remain the responsibility of the Government and the liabilities of the Canadian Pacific must remain that of its owners. However, if the assets of both companies are administered by a unified management an end will be put to the waste of competition and the owners of the Canadian National will receive more money with which to meet their obligations." The fact that only 2% of the excessive debt of the Canadian National Railways was due to the errors of private capitalists, or any arguments dealing with errors either private or Governmental would not help the situation of today. Interest charges on the Canadian National debt which in 1919 were $38,000,000, last* year were $92,000,000. No man capable of facing facts believed that the country could carry the burden indefinitely. "We, the people of Canada, owe directly or indirectly to private capitalists, over $2,700,-000,000, on account of the Canadian National Railways system. We are going to pay this because we promised to. "Are you going to allow your judgment to be warped by complex arguments about doing justice to public ownership? Or are you going to agree with me to leave the ownership of the Canadian National Railways in the hands of the public -- since they could not possibly get rid of it-- and devote our entire energy to finding a method of making the burden of this ownership as light as possible to the people of Can- "Taking it that as business men you will not wish to gamble with a burden of railway deficits which already threatens the financial stability of the nation when a reasonable alternative is available, I have suggested what seems to me to be the only adequate course -- the unified management of the two major railway systems. The amount which can be saved annually -- now, not in some bright day to come -- was calculated by officers of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and their figures tallied closely with those given to the Royal Commission by the late Sir Henry Thornton, and by Mr. S. W. Fair-weather of the Canadian National Railways. My estimate was based on the traffic conditions of 1930, an average traffic year, and on that basis I put the figure at $75,000,000. Sir Henry Thornton, who opposed my plan, gave his estimate as $60,000,000 and Mr. Fairweather suggested $56,000,- 000 for a year of normal traffic. In justice to Mr. Fairweather I must state that he has since said that he told the Commission that his estimate could not be realized. 1 believed then and believe now that mine can be." Mr. Beatty said his proposal had met with much criticism, -- that no one group of men could properly administer the unified railways; that he was talking of setting up a great monopoly; that rates might be raised; and that he proposed to throw thousands of men out of work. Mr. Beatty disposed of these criticisms by pointing to the efficiency and loyalty of the employees of both railways; to the supervising body set up by the Canadian Government to control railway rates, and in connection with labor, solemnly pledged himself to do everything he could within his power to prevent such a development. Savings in this regard would be made gradually, wisely, and considerately, and without hardship to those now dependent on railway employ-He said: "It is indeed my' hope and belief that the methods which I suggest will operate to prevent an even more disastrous period of low wages and unemployment than that through which we are passing. Surely the labor leadets of this country are the intelligent men that I have always, found* them to be and will tell their constituents that waste of the country's wealth on. useless services can damage no one more certainly and more severely than those who depend on their labor for their living. I venture the prophecy that as events develop and the increased thought being given to the subject produces its effect, railway employees generally, and particularly the recognized representatives of organized labor which forms such a considerable part of railway staffs, will not only recognize the inevitability of^but will come to urge rather than to oppose some such measure as I have suggested as in their own best interest." Stressing that the report of tbe recent Royal Commission stated that some of the Commissioners would have preferred a plan which would take the Government of Canada out of the railway business; and that the Canadian Pacific was not a bankrupt undertaking, but on the other hand a thoroughly solvent one, Mr. Beatty went on to say: "What I have suggested, and suggest teday, is that we should plan to divide the net earnings of the unified properties to give to each group of owners the net earnings which would have resulted if each had operated their own railway, together with a fair share of the savings resulting from unification. There is much misunderstanding in this regard. Many have confused the total net earnings after unification with the savings from unification. The earning power of the two separate systems is a matter of reo-ord. T*he increased earning power of the combined properties arising from unification is another matter. My plan contemplates the division of such - increased earnings on a fair basis. This is a matter which can only be settled by negotiations between the interested parties but obviously the shareholders of the Canadian Pacific would have to concede to the Government at least one-half of the net gain resulting from unified management. Those who have said the Canadian Pacific would claim tho lion's share have either misunderstood my proposal or purposely misrepresented it." In conclusion, Mr. Beatty again pointed out that if such a plan had been adopted 20 years ago, or even 15 years ago, the national debt of the country would be hundreds of millions of dollars less than it was today.
