It was the only hope of saving the roads and there is reason today to expect that the Conservative policy will make Canada’s’ rail- ways a great success,. Yet it was Hon. McKenzie King who opposed povernment ownership and operation. He and his party were prepared to let the roads pra to smash. Today Hon. Mr. Meighen and the Conseryative party will do everything that will add to its success and to the service it can give to the settlers, the Conservatives would do any- thing that would injure any part of Canada’s railways is utterly childish is face of the facts and history.

Due to local re- presentations the licenses had been cancelled and the proper department would make an in- vestigation of the matter. Thus the Stork sensation proved to be only Liberal propaganda aprung too coon. “Premier Meighen dealt with local matters in a most satisfac- tory manner. He also took up the Conservative fiscal policy, the customs investigation which re- sulted in a Liberal committee. of the Liberal government. convict- ing the Liberal government of the worst crime a government): ean he guilty of.
