The most signincant thing that happened in my timo was what Benjamin Ilisreeli avcomplished not so many :years ago an contection with the Suez Canal. He made ar- rangements with the Walkers of the British Government . by which he had the necessary money placed at bis diepoeal, and before anybody knew anything about it, the world woke up and learned that England owned controlling shares in the Suez Canal. That was a first-class investment Ind one of the things resulting therefrom is that Egypt is teaday one of the most important- and growing sections of the British Empire. I say that if we are alive to the danger which seems to overhang our coun- try. this Parliament will, irrespec- tive of patty, tuke the bull by the barns and place Canada in the posi- tion, if necessary, to gO to the stock market .and buy the control of these two Canadian railways. Here is the point, the C. P. R. and the G. T.

But if the State had control of these railwaes they would be the ceMpliment of out canals, of the I. C. R., of oui rivers and harbors. They would be what they are not now, national railways, helping to build up this country.
