Hon. Arthur Meighen, supâ€" Was not that "tragic‘"‘ surrender to the "big interests" in the extension of time to the Riordon Company to pay its profits tax to be immediately remeâ€" died? , Riordons still owe their busiâ€" ness profits tax. Where is the brave leader that was to make the Riordons pay at once? f t Has the Western farmer a wheat board? The golden days of 1919 have been denied the western farmer. The government _ throttled _ the Wheat Board as they are chloroforming the national railways. Did not the Liberal party promise reciprocity /with the United States? Mr. Fielding went to Washington. OTTAWA, Augustâ€"At the moment, : the Great War Veterans‘ Association | is responsible for almost the sole activity here, _ aside from routinei matters. The orgénizati‘on, through : C. G. MacNeil, its secretary, and H. W. Bowler, counsel, is pressing its charges, laid just before the parliaâ€". mentary session closed, that the penâ€" sions commissioners have so interâ€" preted some of the regulations under which they operate as to be seriously detrimental to exâ€"service men. Evidâ€" ence in support thereof is now being. placed before a royal commission of‘ inquiry. & The _ premier is the governâ€" ment\ for the . time being. _ Hon. W. °S. Fielding and Hon. Ernest Lapointe have departed for \Geneva and other European points of interest. Hon. George P. Graham is indisposed, at his home, and at last reports Hon. W. C. Kennedy recently underwent a minor operation in a Montreal hosâ€" pital. Hon. Jacques Bureau is to function as| minister of marine while Mr. Lapointe is away, and Mr. King is to act for Mr. Graham if necessary. The federal fuel commission having demonstrated that it is chiefly for advisory purposes, the provinces and municipalities are at last getting busy on their own account, and arranging for supplies of soft coal, Welsh anthracite, wood or whatever is availâ€" able, at the best prices they can. The United States, â€"with customary promptâ€" ness, was first on the Welsh market, and bought at normal prices. Now, rates are away up. British ships, it is understood, are to bring to Ontario such Nova Scotia coal as is available, and it is a bit difficult for the layâ€" man to understand why, under existâ€" ing conditions, ships of the Canadian merchant marine lie idle in many ports, manned only by watchmen. Probably the premier‘s promise of a "fair trial" for the National Railways does not extend to the merchant marine. In the matter of pledges, Clinton Newsâ€" Record recently remarked, editorially: "Premier King says an unanâ€" swered letter weighs upon his mind like an unpaid bill. Funny, isn‘t it? Unfilled pledges do not seem to bother him at all." In opposition the» present governâ€" ment members were alarmed at the failure of Canada to receive more setâ€" tlers. They had an immigration polâ€" icy ready. What has been the result? Immigration has decreased|37 per cent. under Liberal rule. Australia, New Zealand \ and South Africa are getting the cream of British citizenship. Our government has lamentably failed in immigration. A Has the government a national railâ€" way policy? In opposition they were harsh critics. The present minister of railways was prepared to settle the railway problem in a few weeks. His scheme of management was worked out to the last phase. He has been in office eight months. What has he done, He has dismissed an efficient management and replaced it by no one. The road is dying of inanition. OTTAWA, Aug. 27.â€"Since the govâ€" ernment has practically ceased to govâ€" ern, with ministers and deputy minisâ€" ters junketing in every continent, a review of the work of the administraâ€" tion is necessary to decide on its caâ€" pacity to direct the destinies of the country. What promises were made? What pledges redeemed? What poliâ€" cies of development enunciated? What successes have been recorded?â€" What failures have been demonstrated? All these are pertinent issues. King Government‘s Promises â€" Are Shamefully Disregarded A native of Niagara Falls, Onâ€" tario, Mr. Ussher commenced his business careem as clerk in the audiâ€" tor‘s office of the Great Western Railway in 1874. In 1880 he joined the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railway as chief ticket clerk and the Chicago & Atlantic Railroad as"rate clerk in 1883. 5 In November, 1886, when the Canadian Pacific inaugurated. the transcontinental services he was The new office @CEEU CEUssh of gener:'a.l PaSt | cengrat passEn senger traffic Trarric manaGe manager created on for Mr. Ussher is indicative of the ; worldâ€"wide activities of the Canaâ€" dian Pacific organization â€" which stretches from Europe to the Orient and Australasia, covering steamship services on both Atlantic and Pacific oceans as well as the rail lines, The Canadéan Pacific fleet is now one of the largest mercantile organizaâ€" tions in the . world, and involves traffic considerations almost as great as those of the railwsy itself. In addition, Mr. Ussher has charge of the extensive chain of hotels operâ€" ated by the Canadian Pacific, the capacity of which is constantly. beâ€" ing increased and which contribute no little to the passenger traffic of the railway. ‘ O FFICIAL anâ€" nouncement was made at the C.P.R. head office of the promotion of _two of the Company‘s highâ€" erâ€"up passenger officials. Mr. C. E. E. Ussher is created _ general passenger traffic manager and Mr. C. B. Foster who has been assistâ€" ant pass en ger traffic manager, eastern lines, beâ€" comes passenger traffic manager rail lines. Officials THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON CAN. PAC. RLY as Hon. Hugh Guthriec, Major General S. C. Mewburn and Hon. Dr. S. F. Tolmie, Liberal Unionists of 1917 who toâ€"day support Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, Liberalâ€"Conservative â€"leader in the House of Commons. Rt. Hon, Sir Robert Borden himself was at one time a Liberal supporter. Sir. Thomas White transferred ‘allegiance to the Conservative party on its trade policy. As ‘a matter of fact, these men are proud of the party to which they beâ€" long, and are not in the least concernâ€" ed about the double name. Only last session Hon. Hugh Guthrie told the House of Commons "he was proud to be a Conservative." Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, of Fort William, another Liâ€" beralâ€"Unionist, said something to a similar effect. Other members conâ€" fessed that they did not specially obâ€" Jeet even to the title of "Tory," flung across the floor of the House as a sort of epithet. A well known Liberal writer is on record to the effect that "Toryism," in the old meaning has been dead for a halfâ€" century, but Quebec members are fond of using the term now and again. Be that as it may, it would seem only proper, in the intérests of accuracy, no less than of courtesy, to retain the name of "Libâ€" eralâ€"Conservative." The party has alâ€" ways endeavored to follow a course of progressive and liberal policy, while refusing to depart from certain traâ€" ditional and historical features justiâ€" fied in the past, such as adherence to Imperial connection, and a national commercial policy. What a record of failure? No railâ€" way policy; no tariff policy; no immiâ€" gration policy; no progress in developâ€" ment; not one act of a constructive character and not a promise fulfilled. ported by Leon J. Ladner, M.P Probably the trouble is that the risâ€" ing generation hears little about the reasons why the hyphenated name was adopted and the similiar reasons that have developed since, for its retention. Sir John A. Macdonald was wise in his day in widening the title, in" view of the number and calibre of Reformâ€" ers who adhered to his banner after the Coalition Government passed into history, and there has been scarcly a Dominion â€"contest, barring perhaps 1873, when the Conservative Party did not gain by the adhesion of former opponents. Sir John‘s trade policy brought noteworthy _ support of this kind right up to and including 1891. There was a similiar accession on the same issue in 1911. Still fresher in the public memory is the case of such men Have Royal Commissions ceased to act? Have ordersâ€"inâ€"council been abolished? Are ministers on duty or Junketing? Has there been, one act of progressive or reform legislation ? porkco by Leon J. Ladnmer, M.P., and many of the provincial stalwarts. There has never been a time since 1876 when the name was not justiâ€" fied, and it would be a pity to revert to the preâ€"Confederation name now. diers to Nova Scotia mines? f Has anyone heard of the destruction of the, ‘shells" which so shocked Can ada‘s leading pacificist during the election campaign?. So ridiculous were Mr. King‘s charges that he would not allow a report by the committee of ingquiry. he has made of the Nova Scotia mines dispute. In opposition Mr. King, exâ€" cept for Rockefeller in Colorado, would not employ soldiers to cow labor. Who sent one thousand solâ€" diers to Nova Scotia mines? Did not Mr. King and his supporters promise an additional gratuity to the soldiers?, Has any soldier received an increase in gratuity or pension â€"since 1921? â€" Did not Mr. King flagrantly repudiate his promise? | Has Mr. Murdock redeemed his pledges to labour? . See what a mess Was not a lower tariff promised? Has there been any substantial deâ€" crease in customs exactions? Have trusts and mergers been abolâ€" ished? Was it not promised that the Dominion Textile Company would be made disgorge? What was done? The president of the Dominion Textile was not made disgorge, but was rewarded by a splendid appointment representâ€" ing the goyernmment at Genoa. Has taxation been lowered? It was promised. What has been the result? Tt is estimated that tha dizaakt advaiiad It is estimated that the direct taxation on the people has been increased $100,â€" 000,000 annually. § What was the result? The Fordney tariff will become lawâ€"the most disâ€" criminating act ever passed by Conâ€" gress against the Dominion of Canada. C. B. Foster who has been proâ€" moted to the position of Passenger Traffic Manager Rail Lines, ‘was born at Kingston, N.B., in 1871, and has spent his whole business life in the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway which he joined in 1891 as stenographer to the division pasâ€" senger agent at St. John, N.B. In 1902 he himself had risen to be Disâ€" trict Passenger Agent at this point. Two years later he was transferred to a similar position at Toronto, and in 1908 was appointed assistant genâ€" eral passenger agent at Winnipeg. In 1910 he became General Pasâ€" senger Agent at Winnipeg, and in 1913 was promoted to the position of Assistant Passenger Traffic Manâ€" ager, Eastern Lines, with office at Montreal. ive â€"Promotion called in to become Chief Ticket clerk and was promoted three years later to be Assistant General Pasâ€" senger Agent. In 1898 he was apâ€" pointed General Passenger Agent Eastern Lines, and 1907 assistant passenger traffic manager. Since 1910 he has been Passenger Traffic Manager. s PASSENGER TRAFFIC MANAGER RAIL LINES, CAN. PAC.RLY.
