The Conservative Policy h
for GoVernm,ent Owned
Railways. •
By all odds the • moat important
passage, in Mr. 13Orden's speech in
Massey hall was his pledce to- place
the Ietercolonial Railway under a
Commiasion. That is what We read
his words to mean. "The pettier of
the Conservative party," he said,
einvolves the piecing of the Inter -
colonial under a nmeagement : abse-
lutely free frone party influeeee and
political ieteeference." That is the
most important, declaration made
thus fer, in the ce,mpaige, It' will re-
quire something very -important ' '
dwarf it. The leader of -the ,-Coit
party lean definitely prom-
ised to. place titer ',Willa railway on a
saAisfaeteey fecetin:g. It Mr. :Borden
sneceeds, GovernMent management
at last will be given. a fair trial in
Canada. That would put up a long
way on the 'right road in the hand;
ling of 'our great railway problem.
Mr, Borden may not succeed in this
election. Even so, he may le the
nett:struggle and his Pledge will fole

low him to office. More than that-
nen-partiian management, of -the la-
ercolonial is a very attractive suit
of -clothes to leave lying about and
the :Government has shown itself
•expert in the appropriation of other
parties' garments. It 'would-eee hard

seized, upon by a successful Govan -
meet, but it 'would . be good for Cane
aela... The., pronouneemeht of tne Op-
position. leader; in a Word, • brings
menagement of our pub-
lic railway into the domain of prac-
tical -politics. It is a fine stroke, at
once sagabioue and in' the public lee
terest.
His analysis of the -Grand Trunk
Pacific bargain was an exeeptionally
• skilful dissec tiert of an intricate bu-
• siness proposition. Sir Wilfrid Lain-
ier's rather aley figures were pulver-
ized ; the comment is thoroughly jus
-
Maine. He also made short work of
the preposterous argument that the
_ Grand Trunk Pacific •enterprise will
"cost" the country only fourteen or
fif teen millions. The pleinfact is
that the country must go on the
• money markets and raise an enor-
mous sem, perhaps seventy-five frill -
lions, It also 'must pledge its credit
to assist a private corporation to
raise -e further enormous sum. For.a
considerable portion of the sum to be
raised by the Government it is to
he hoped that interest will be re-
ceived, so that it wilt he a direct
instead of an indirect investment.
But none the less the Ilnaeciai :opera-
tion rout responsibility will be !heavy.
Again, Mr, 13ordelt is forcible in his
exposition of the unequal character
of the agreement betwece the Gov-
ernment and the railway corporation.
That inequality cannot be too thor-
oughly driven into the minds of the
people of Canada and the Conserva-
tive leader did well to abandon the
lighter and momentarily effective me-
thods of campaigning to drive home a
serious- argument on this point. So,
again, he was eiteetive in pointing
out the position of Canadian peas.
If we have a government -managed
• railway the trade will flow automat-
ically to Canadian sea -ports, and if
We trust to the Grand Trunk all the
agreements in the world will weight
light against a Grand Trunk commit-
ment of fifteen or twenty inilli,ohe at
