A PLAIN TALK TO FARMERS (The Brantford Conservator.) The farmers of this country have always held the balance of power. CRERAR ON NATIONAL ROADS. The President of the National Rail- ways in a letter to the "New Zealand Herald" takes exception to several erroneous statements made in that paper regarding Canada's National Road. In a covering letter giving out the copy of his reply he says-- "The letter was written to the New Zealand newspaper because of an art- icle it published making several mis- statements concerning the National Railways. The incident shows the necessity for giving the widest possi- ble distribution of proper information in connection with tre national system so that such mistakes may not arise from ignorance of the subject"'-- Canadian Farmers are not "organ- izing a campaign against continued Government operation of railways." As a matter of fact, the leader of the agrarian party which has adopted the name of Progressives advocates in part the following policy with refer- ence to the National Railways, which is taken from Hon. T. A. Crerar's Tox- onto speech on November 1ith:-- "If you were to turn them over to private hands, what would you get out of them? TI believe these roads have a fine potential value, but what we need is the development of business in this country. We should set our minds seriously to the problem--traet it as we would treat a business proposition under the same conditions, plan a big constructive policy that will make business for these roads; and in a few years--sooner, perhaps, than most of us will expect--we will reach a condi- tion where these railways will be a valuable asset to Canada, and. Canada will be proud of them." : Let's thrash it all out. We have had 'enough of wild charges and senseless agitation. There is a natural level-- plain common-sense. Let us see if we can find it. "Rule or ruin" is a poor clogan. It is the ultimate welfare of Canada that we must seek. Wild char- ges unsupported by facts are plain 'lies. The total value produced by all our manufacturing plants amounts to the colossal sum of $3,500,000,000 anun- ally." This is quite $700,000,000 in ex- cess of the total value produced by all our farms. Obviously, the whole fin- ancial structure of the country would be imperilled if our industries should be imperilled if our industries should be wrecked by ill-considered legisla- tion. The bare possibility of such a shiver with dread. The erisis is very close; in fact it is here. If the former retains his sanity and votes as-a pat- riot all will be well. ut if he is pre- pared to "go it blind" the result will be complete ruin to himself and others built our Ontario towns?"
