Did he not see he was knIfing his country in the back? This is a time when we need great leaders to see us througb to victory. We must be cool and calm for many a nation he the hour of summit has been lost by listening to agitators who had nothing constructive to offer but merely play - Mg Into the hand of our enemies. The reading of Uncle's letter reminded me of the soap box orator, who was never taken very seriously by the naming crowd but when war came, our soldiers noticed that be soon disappeared from the city street corners. Mr. Editor, I was more than surprised to meet him in your paper. As to Russia, I would like to ask him, does he intend being one of the torob bearers and is that the way he would keep the home fires burning? What a glorious thought in the hour of victory, and what cheerful reading it would be for the boy ea the front that we hadbetray ed our trust when we got them away. Though I heels not one dollar to tub against another when all my debts are paid and could not buy even the smallest War Bond yet I am glad and proud that tho country is prosperous and. will be able to finance the war and fulfil their obligations to our soldierand their dependants. Our export for 1010 was over $700,000,000 greeter than tho year previous and our Western wheat crop is seventy five million dollars greater than at first estimated. In the past, war and famine have meetly gone hand in hand. The world over, the potato crop of 1910 was a failure; and the New Argentine wheat crop is report- ed a failure. Moe% Winghaan people laid in their supply of potatoes lest fall at $1,90 e. bag, and as for oats in • be West at 34 cents, if 1 hat bad been in the joke column it would have gone art a fair Western yarn, Surely Uncle you were not trying to lead us to believe that tbe Western farmers were only receiving 31 cents a bushel tor oats. Before closing, a word of advice, if you are a true British sub- ject at heart, remember we have those among us who are not, see that you are not usedagainst your country,— fire is easier 4arted than controlled.

With referenee to our contract with yon far Basic Slag, , we deeply regret to advise that we will be unable . to retake delivery in time for -this season's use. You are doubtless aware there is a tremendous congestion of traffic on all the railways at present. and also a great scarcity of cars, In addition to this sufficient coal cannot be secur- ed for railway purposes, Our Managing Director, Mr. 0, R. Walker, went specially to Ottawa last week and brought ail the pressure possible to bear on the 06vernnaert in an effort to get our goods trans. ported. He interviewed the Minister of Agriculture, the Honorable Martin Burwell, and pointed out that in view. of the Government'e urgent appeal to the farmers to increase food product, time it was of vital consequence that our Basic Slag should be delivered in Ontario in time for 'the seaeon'e use. Mr, Burrell, was most sympathetic and used his influence with the rail. way authorities In an endeavour to get our goods carried, but in view of the terrific congestion nothing could be done and the traffic cannot pas% To show you the position and that we have used every means open to us • to get our goods delivered, we Append herewith the copy of letter addreesed to our Managing pixector when iu Ottawa, by the Secretary of the Minister of Railways:— Ottawa, March eith, 1917 With reference to your several interviews with the undersigned in the absence of the Minister, I beg to state that onl.Marcb. 6th I telegraphed the General Manager pf Government railways at, Moncton as follows; - 0.
