"The line will have to be built on a special train for Buenos Airesat | Toronto, Sept. 15.~--Vincent Mas- sey, whose acceptance of a position in the Mackenzie King Cabinet was announced yesterday, in an inter- view today said: "I believe this election to be one of the most crucial in the history of 'Canada, crucial because the very Lunity of the country is at stake. "We as Canadians have ft in our power in the coming crisis to demon- strate our ability to view national rroblems in the terms of national welfare, rather than in the light of sectional interest. If we fail, - the national structure will be weakened. I believe that the Government of Mr. MacKenzie King has presented a programme which can be regarded as national in the fullest sense of the term.

"Upon the conclusion of a conference of the committee yesterday, attended by Major Graham Bell, on behalf of Rt. Hon. Geo. P, Graham, Minister of Railways and Canals, Charles A. Magrath, Ottawa, and Fred McCourt, Montreal, the following statement was issued: "As a result of such information 88 is at present available, the com- mittee is of opinion that there is at the moment no need for alarm. Figures as to imports = and move- ments of coal have already beén pub- lished and are re-assuring. The com- mittee feels that the great element of uncertainty which enters into the situation is the probable duration of the strike. Indications are to the effect that just ndw both sides are apathetic, 'and that the cessation of production may last for two months, and may possibly be prolonged to three-----in which latter event there would be cause for concern on the part of the Canadian consumer.
