Parent, K.C., the chairman of the Transcontinental Rtilway Commission, 101 Canada, to a certain cable sent us lby one of our Canadian correspond- ’ents, and appearing in the ‘Times’ of 10ctober 24th and the “Mail” of Octo- ber 261b, 1908. We desire te say that this message was not intended? L0 :on- vey the slightest reflection upon the Commissioners or on their integrity. We ourselves do not regard the desâ€" patch as containing any such reflection- and we regret that anybody should put any such construction upon it.” The Times first pnnts a commum~I cation from a correspondent who did‘ not know what he was writing aboutâ€" a man who had been only a few weeks in the Dominion and who was easrly' influenced by Conservative politicians to write something injurious to titer ‘administration in an election year. i Then the Times publishes an editorial: lbased upon the assumption that the charges made by its correspondent were true.

The mult was that the following was print ed in the Times on December 12th. It was part of the late campaign to make an attack upon the Commission- ers who have in charge the building of the National Transcontinental Rail- way. The Conservatives had a plot which would have been sprung at the last moment, but unfortunately for them it was discovered by their oppon- ents, and nothing was done. About this time a certaincorres- pendent of the London Times, who had been sent out here to give his views of the country, fell into the hands of members of the Tory party with the result that he was inspired to write articles reflecting seriously upon the honesty of the members of the Transcontinental Commission.
