When Mr. Patiullo comes east from the far Pacifie, he is‘ among friends. In fact he is an old Ontario boy. “His the rest of ns, When he asks the fed- eral government to help them over what we all must believe to be ‘a1 tem- porary obstacle, he is merely asking one department of o national business which still has some credit at the bank—to help. another department ‘of the same business which is not so lucky But as a full partner in the federal organiatzion, Mr, Pattullo knows that it is quite possible for the credit of the Dominion to be so undermined that it can no longer help either his province or itself. He knows that it is carry-| ing teday three major burdens—all-v£ them exceptional and recent. One is the Canadian National Railway, © An other: ig Relief. A third is the alarm- ing condition into which provincial! finance has fillen from one end of the country to the other, Unless these lenks in the’ federal treasury can be staunched—and within a measurably short time—no man dare predict what uor fute will be.
