J, S. Willison, handed out astatement
with reference to the controversy be-
tween Premier Roblin and Rev. J. A,
14Iac)ouaid, editor of tbe Globe, over
Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company and
subsidy to Crow's Nest Pass Railway.
Mr. Willison says in part he has no de-
sire to hurt Mr. MacDonald or to serve
or promote the interests of the Conser-
vative party by forcing Mr. Ma$Don-
ald's withdrawal from the editorship of
the Globe, bet he does think that Mr.
MacDonald should stand up and fight
his own battles, and not hide behind an-
other man's coat tails, As to the issue
between Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Rob-
lin, he says the Crow's Nest Railway
campaign policy originated with the
present editor of the News, He advo-
bc,itd this particular railway while the
Conservatives were in power. No dir-
ector of the Globe was consulted. The
then editor of the Globe slid not know
that the railway bad been acquired by
Mr. Cox and his associalcs until certain
charges were made by the Toronto
World, He repediaterl any deal so far
as he is eoucorned. He had no band in
any of the negotiations and opposed a
grant of $3,soo,000 to the C. P. R. to
build the road. He had no interest in
the Crow's Nest Coal Company or any
associate Company,
