that the stock proposed to be mur-
chased was worth nothing. This

has never been able to earn anything
upon it, there was and is no reason

what is to he paid, who is to get

The smallest transaction in ,common
life could not be concluded in such a
way, and any attempt to do it by
trustees responsible to a court would
unquestiOnablY be a breach of trust,
and this is the largest and most on-
erous undert,aking ever contemplated
by any Canadian Goyerriment, and
the most riskY. It is safe to ,sa -

earning power can ever be a useful
public servant, nor can. any road

a continuous dram on the tax payer.

binties both of current and of capi-
vieNc; of the finaociers whose state-
ment we print, and there is force in
the view.
The Canadian Northern must be
carried on as an operating road. It
serves a great territory and a large
community of people whose welfare
is dependent upon the operation of
this railway, but having exhhusted its
financial resources the alternative eof
Government ownership ..by acquisition
of the common stock, or through the
medium of a receivership, is the orily
one presented.
To Government ownership we are
opposed. A reorganization of the cap-
ital liabilities, through the rriediurri
of receivership, is the other recourse.
The liability of Canada in either
event ,remains, the Government and
the provinces having guaranteed the
great sum of 8211,000,000 of bonds of,
the company. It is, however, neces-
sary to learn the extent of the I'M-
bility taken over by Canada in the
bill now before Parliament. What as-
sets are acqui-ed? What obligations
incurred? If -there be a matgin on
the debit side of the account, if Can-
ada is assumin,g a debt over and
above, exis1ing guarantees, the public
may not unreasonably ask why. The
railway is a fine property with ex-
cellent prospects, but after all i -s
said, it is a business veriture which
should be allowed to face the con-
sequences of all business ventures.
One thing iS certain- the country
should not ne saddled with any avoid-
able liability. The debt created by the
war is already large, and constantly
increasing. New sources of :taxation
