Crerar Montreal, Feb, 26.--"I am not convinced that our policy of de- velopment in Canada, in the past, has been along the soundest lines," said the Hen. T. A. Crerar, in his address at the Ritz-Carlton, his Subjact being "Repatriation and Af- er." i "We need new ideas/ and ideals in our public life in nada," said Mr. Crerar. "It had been planned under the original scheme of land settlement for returned soldiers to give to those desiring to take up farm work free land held by the Dominion Government, but on in- quiry it was found that owing to unwise political administration in the past, our patrimony had been dissipated, that land close to the markets could not be secured, and that free land was located In re- mote districts, far from railways or shipping points, therefore the ques- tion as to ways and means to secure areas having available transporta- tion facilities and now held by cor- porations or individuals, will be brought up at the coming session of parlament." » : -------- Many proverbs are the wit of one and the wisdom of nane. - 27 stare but a wick once Putnam's Etc the job.
