ONTARIO, THURSD. DEFINES POSTION OF PR PRESIDENT BEATTY HAS LITTLE FAITH IN GOV.OWNERSHIP, Is An Experiment--Delivers An In- Address at Luncheon at Fort William. J Fort: Witham, June 10.--Speaking before 140 of Fort William's most prominent business men yesterday at the Canadian Club luncheon at Ave- nue Hotel, President E, W. Beatty, K.C,, of the Canadian Pacific Rail way, dwelt at length upon the CGov- ernment ownership of railways . He sald that we need no apology for speaking on a matter which was en- Srossing serious attention of all thinking Canadians. What is to be the ultimate end of Canadian rail- ways and. under what auspices or method of administration were they to be managed? The officers of the C.P.R. were entitled to have some knowledge and some views on subject, as the system possessed 13,- 770 'miles in Canada, of which 8,750 were west of 'the Great Lakes. Mr. Beatty said that Government owner- | ship of railways had much to re- commend it. In theory, the Gov- ernment and the people generally should withhold ther final judgment until it has been determined whether Government management is feasible or even possible. 'They recently had the benefit of the results of experi- ments in Great Britain and the Unit- ed States. The American systems broke down when put to the test, both physically and financially. The deficits were enormous and efficiency and character of the service were lessened to an alarming degree. As @ result" of that experience, he thought it was safe to say that the last vestige of desire for = Govern- ment operation of those utilities has departed from the majority of the American people, . Mr. Beatty stated that it might be sald lis own views were prejudiced, and that they were the result of eighteen years' intimate association with the workings of one railway company, and an appreciation from the inside of what factors contribut- ed to its efliciency and success, It bad now reached an efficiency in all ranks which he hoped would now be easier to maintain, but it could not have been developed : mor could it be maintained without she enterprise, loyalty, initiative ' and esprit de corps of the officers 'and men of the company, * Mr. Beatty closed an interesting address by saying that éonventions will be held this summer in the west for the purpose of developing . the natural resources of the three West- ern Provinces, und of establishing of industries there in order that | they | might be more self contained.' His last words were: "In dealing with > se rei member your prosperity is the rail- ways' prosperity, and that their in- terests are always your interests," THE W IN BRIEF FORM Tidings From All Over Told In iad and Pithy ry Way. ---------- Illinols is the first state to ratify the woman sutfrage constitutional amendment.
