If another com pany had been given the con tract, it would have been an im possibility to start the pipeline for another three of four years at the least, aside from the-fact, that .a pipeline built by any ^com pany would not and could. not have been financed by Canadian investors,- We-'are 811 aware of the fact that few Canadians' care to* risk their money on investments in Canada’s future.

Perhaps these shocking' dis- , plays in parliament by our elect ed Representatives, will have served a purpose if they have awakened many Canadians out of their political apathy. Parlia ment meanwhile, has been re duced to a ridiculous political force—with the Liberals and Conservatives vying for the star ring voles and with the C.C.F. and Social Credit thrown in for the touch of comedy necessary I io every force.
