He Criticizes It Because the Govern- ment Cannot Buy Out the Share- holders For Thirty Years. IN HIS Tanad (« d:¥n Press Ottawa, A Despatehy Oet, 24 --LAberalism's new leader, Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, had a magnificent reception when he made his maiden speech in the present Pajllament He spoke in the resumed debate upon the Government proposal to acquire the Grand Trunk system, and was tendered on ovation. Mr. King's effort pleased lowers immensely, but his opponents during the recess appeared to be little disappointed with &." sidering that the debaite been going on for two weeks, he did ex ceedingly well, for it is difficult to find any new argument for or against the bill that has been under discus- sion for many days. His main cri- ticlsm of the measure is' that it makes impossible complete govern: ment ownership for many years to come, since there is a clause in the bill which sets forth that the Gov- ernment cannot buy out the share- holders of the Grand Trunk for thir- ty years. He characterized the thing as "nothing more than an argument for the trandfer of the management of the Grand Trunk system to the gentlemen who are managing the Canadian National Railways, who were the controllers of Canadian Nonthern Railway before It is also '@ measure to enhance the value of the stockyof the Grand Trunk Rail- way." .. Proceeding, he declared it was simply an act to holet on to the peo- ple of Canada all the liabilities of the Grand Trunk Pacificcand to give the shareholders of the present road an inflated value for their stock." The second reading of the bill was carried after midnight by a majority of thirty, BANDITS ABDUCTED A CONSULAR AGENT Mexicans Wil Hold American Official for 300,000 Pezos Ransom.
