P. R.\n\"5. The proposed increase in\nfreight rates will admittedly give the\n\"Canadian Pac'fio railway an annual\nIncrease in revenue of from $1*1,000,000,\nto ?'_0,QOO,000. whereas, under the\npresent freight rates during, the past\nseven years, this road has not only\npaid a 10 per cent dividend to ltd\nshareholders, but, in addition, hns accumulated surplus profits to the\ncolossal sum of more than ?200,000,000,\nwhich, in tlie opinion of the council,\nought tu be sufficient to.satisfy the\nmo-rt ambitious railroad corporation,,\nand should forever dispose of even a\nbare suggestion nf further increase ln\nfreight rates.\n\"fl, Tlie proposed Increase in\nfrleght rates will fall chiefly upon the\nagr.cu'ttiral industry at a time when\nincreased production Is un imperative!\nnecessity, both as a decisive factor in\nthe war nnd to help meet our stupendous obligations.\n\"7. The present railway crisis in\nCanada Is the lesult of the shorts:ght-\ned and the extravagant railway policy\npursued by successive governments\nin the past, and tho cost of extricating\nthe nation from this lamentable situation, due entirely to repeated;\nnational blunders, should not fall upon\nrailway traffic alnne, but should become a charge on the federal\nexecutors.\n\"8. When every person is being*\ncalled upon to make sacrifices to aid\nthe nation in its hour of need, It is\ndifficult for the council to understand\nhow an additional $13,000,000 to $20,-\n010,000 added to the surplus profits of\nthe Canadian Pacific railway can be-\njustified.\nNationalization the Only Solution\n\"In the opinion of the council, after\nhaving given careful consideration of\nall the facts, thero Is only ono completo and satisfactory solution of the1\nrailway problem, and that is tht'\nnationalization of all the railways in\nCanada. Whether It ls carried out\nimmediately or postponed until a\nfuture date, the council considers it\nInevitable. Puh'tic ownership and\noperation of railways hns now been\nadopted by every important country\nin the world except Canada.\"\nThe benefits which will follow nationalization, in .the ophilon of the\ncouncil, are as follows:\n1. It will eliminate duplication of\nrailway lines in the samo to; rltory,\nterminals in the same town or city,\nfreight and passenger solicitors,\nswitching charges, office ttaffs, highly paid officials and in scores of oiher\nways will cut down the cost of operation.\n2. It will enable the government to\nprovide at tho lowest possible cost for\nthe construction of railways In tho.e\ndistricts where they are urgently\nneeded.\n3. By operating all the railways as\none unit, the rolling stock can be\nmade moro to give more effective service than could bo provided under\ncompeting systems.\n4. It would pool tho revenues from\nall the railways of Canada and thus\nprovide sufficient funds to operate\nthoso sections which aie not immediately profitable, but which are necessary for the proper development of the\ncountry.\n5. lt would enable all freight to he\nhandled over the most d rect route,\nthus eliminating waste of time and\nenergy caused by the natural desire of\ncompeting, railways to keep freight\nmoving over their own lines, regardless of the cost of operation, * -\n6. It would make it porslble to reduce the cost of carrying freight\n. through nonproductive territory north\not the great lakes and through the\nExtraordinary Success which\n\"Fruit-a-tives\" Has Achieved\nOne reason why \"Fruit-a-tives\"\nis so extraordinarily uueccssful in\ngiving' relief to those differing with\nConstipation.

It would remove frcm private\ncontrol and place in lhe hands of ths\ngovernment the Inrgcst tax collect!, g\nagency In the Dominion.\n8. It would permit tho establishment of equitable freight rat^s\nthroughout the whole of Canada instead of the present system which\nbears most unfair y -on bith producer\nand consumer in many ditrcts.\n9. It would put an end to donations,\nsubsidies, land grants, bend guarantees'and other concessions to private\ncorporations which have been an outstanding feature of the Canadian railway policy of the past and haVe-co.t\nthe country hundreds of millions of\ndollars without an adequate return.\n10. It would provide all the benefits of government control and operation which have been found to be an\nImperative necessity In every other\nimportant country in the world.\n11. Any half-way measure of nationalization will be more dangerous\nthan. the present system of private\nownership since, to nationalize p rt of\nthe railways of Canada and leave another part under private control would\nbe a direct encouragem nt to the private inteersts tn seek to dominate the\ngovernment, and bring about the failure of the government owned roads in\norder to poison the public mind against\ngovernment ownership.\n12. Should tho government decide\nagainst the natlonallzat on of tho railways at the present t.m?, the council\nwould recommend as an alternative\nthat all the railways he brought under\ngovernment control and bo operated as\na unit during tuc period of the war,\nview a view to national zatlon immediately following the declaration ot\npeace.\nHUNG WILL BUILD\nCANAL IN RUSSIA\n(Contiued from Page One.)\nport ships I-Uissa.

Because tho\nimmediate problem of western forests\nIs growing timber and overtaking the\ndamage done by repeated forest fires,\nthe association points out that the ac-\nqucstion of these resources by the provinces would, at the present time, prove\na liability. It points out that the Dominion .forestry branch spends \u00a5100,-\n000 annually on forest protection ln\nManitoba, while the total revenues do\nnot exceed $12,000. Tn Sa-i-ntch'-wan\n$145,000 is spent and -19000 is received,\nwhile in Alberta the outlay Is $200,000\nand the revenue $18,000.\nIf the forests are handed over to the\nwestern. provinces, the forestry asso*\nelation declares, they \"must accept the\nsituation as it actually Is, and not as\ncertain fairy tales would have It appear.\" It further proceeds to warn\nthese provinces that \"they would, in\nall I'kellhood, automatically forfeit the\nprovincial subsidies paid by the Dominion government, amounting to:\nManitoba, $409,007; Saskatchewan,\n$562,500; Alberta, $662,500, as a Dominion allowance In lieu of public\nlands.\"\nIf the Canadian Forestry aesocla\ntion desires to appeal aga-nst the pro\nposed transfer of the west-rn natural\nresources to the respective provinces it\nshould make Its appeal directly to\nthose provinces. The right of decision\nshould rest absolutely with themselves.\nIf the benefits which are I'k?ly to accrue by the possession and control of\nthe lands are more than counter-balanced by the additional outlay entail\ned by the direct ownersh'p of the forests, that is a matter for consideration by the repre|3ntntives of the\nprovinces. Eastern' Canada will be\nwise to keep its hands off, and leave\nthe westerners to determine the whole\nquestion for themselves.

H. A., on the Toronto ArenO,\n3 to 2, after which was pronounced by\nfollo-ffers of the game one of the very\nfinest exhibitions ever witnessed In,\nthe Queen city.\nTins challengers deserved victory\nand as a. result of their win at six-man\nhockey and under rules with which\nthey Jwere not familiar, the westerners\ngo Into the final contest Thursday\nnight warm favorites. There is littlo\n\u25a0doubt in Toronto but that the famous\ntrophy will journey back to the\nManitoba capital, where it had so long\na lodging place before it was lost last\nyear-by the Winnipeg vies to the fast\nDental team of Toronto.\nThe result of tonight's game was a\ndecided surprise, as the style of the\nvisitors in their preliminary workouts\nhad -not impressed tho experts. The\ngame had not been long in progrest*\nbefore there was a decided change In\nthe (Opinions of the majority of tTr&\nspectators and the Ontario champions,\nwho started 2 to 1 favorites, were soon\nquoted at the short end of the wagering. Six thousand spectators cheered,\nthe players and gave full heed to tho\nskill and cleverness of the Ypres men.\nPlay Fast Throughout\nThe contest was a fast one throughout and the players showed wonderful\nstamina and there was never a lefup\nIn interest, which culminated in the\ncloslijg minutes of the play, with\nKitchener one goal behind and a\nchance to tie up the contest. Hither,\nwho had played a strong game for the\ndefenders, had a fine opening for a\nshot ;but failed in his effort. At the\nend of each period the teams were\ncheered to the echo.\nYpres led 1-0 at the end of the first\nperiod and were still ahead 2-1 when\ntho Bccond period came to an end.\nThe teams were at full strength. The\nWinnipeg team was better balanced\nthan.the defenders, was stronger defensively and displayed better team\nPlay.\nThe abbreviated style of play caused\na shift in the position of the Winnipeg\nplayers. Dartnell, the regular rover,\nwent to centre; Hughes was shifted\nfrom centre to right wing; Halderson,\nthe regular right board player, served\nin the utility role.\nThe Winnipeg players were first to\ntake the ice to warm up and were\ngreeted with a cheer. Alex Irvin led\nthe parade. O'Connell was in uniform\nand warmed \"P with his teammates,\nbut did not take part in the game.\nKitchener, the undefeated 0. H, A.\nchampions, were also given a warAi\nreception. Lawson Whitehead of Toronto, and W. Noble of Winnipeg were\nine officials in charge.\nKitchener staged the first attack almost from the face-off and Winkler\nwas. called upon to stop two shots in\nQuick succession from Hiilicr and\nParks. The teams set a terrific pace\nfrom the outset. Karges was fenced\nfor tripping Dartnell. Five minutes\nelapsed, when Hughes got the first\nshot on goal for Winnipeg. Hains-\nworth stopped It. Karges returned as\nTrushlnskl rushed and shot hard, but\nWinkler cleared nicely, A. Irvin was\nbenched for upsetting Parks, but returned. Winkler stopped several hard\nshots from Hillier and Solomon, one\nof the latter's shots hitting tlie Winnipeg goal post.\nHughes made several good rushes.\nThe ice was a trifle sticky and the\nplayers frequently overstepped the\npuck.\nThe speed of the Ypres players was\nnow much in evidence and the fc|_-\nwards were back-checking like fiends.\nThe westerners' defensive was steady\nand kept the green-clad crew shooting\nfrom long range.\nDartnell took a pass from ..Hughes\nand beat Hainswoith with a beautiful\nshot to the corner for Ypres' third\ntally.\nKitchener Fights Gamely\nKitchener fought back gamely and\noh a hard shot Karges again hit the\nWliyiipeg goal post. It was a close\ncall. Alex irvin was benched for\ntripping Hillier. He returned as\nParks was chased for hitting Bostrom\nwith his stick. Karges was clear\nthrough the Ypres' defense a moment\nlater, but Winkler came out and\nblocked him cleverly. Parks returned\nas Halderson was substituted for\nChum Irvin. Parks received a gash\nIn his -left hand, but continued. De\naptte the wafer-covered ice the play\ncontinued fast, with Ypres displaying\nthe better staying qualities.\nOn a pa_s from Parks, Hillier flipped the rubber in the corner of the\nnet for Kitchener's second tally, with\/\nonly one minute remaining to play.\nKitchener commenced the final period on the aggressive and Himer\nmissed a pass right in the Ypres goal\nmouth. Hughes shot wildly after a\nHillier missed a beautiful chance foi\na goal ln the dying seconds\/ of the\ngame.\nDartnell Gets First Counter.\nSeventeen minutes of the first period had elapsed when Lcroux relieved\nHillier and Halderson went to right\nwing in place of Chum Irvin. Ler-ax\nwas benched for hooking Hughes, in\nhis absence Dartnell notched the initial counter for Winnipeg on a pass\nfrom behind the Kitchener net by Alex\nIrvin. Dartnell slipped the rubber into\nthe net with his back to the goal. The\ngong sounded, ending the first period,\na moment later, with Winnipeg leading 1-0 * Ypres had the better of the\nplay during this frame. They were\nfaster skaters than Kitchener and\ntheir checking was harder and closer.\nThe second period commenced with\nKitchener playing a man short. Chum\nIrvin was back at right wing, replac-\nHalderson.

The boxing was fast and clever.\ning \t\nthrough when he was Iced by Bostrom. The latter was penalized. Hillier\nreturned when Leroux's penalty expired.\nWith Winnipeg playing five men to\nsix Chum irvin rushed and notched\nthe second goal for Winnipeg on a shot\nto the corner and from outside tho defense, in two minutes.\nBostrom returned shortly after. The\npurple and black continued to press\nand Halnsworth was called upon to\nstop several hard shots. Owing to the\nImmense crowd, the ice became more\nsticky and the players repeatedly over-\nskated the puck.\nThe play was more oven for the next\n10 minutes. Parks and Solomon combined nicely and with no one to beat\nbut Winkler, Solomon scored first\nblood for Kitchener. Hughes and Alex\nIrvin were both chased for tripping In\nquick succession; a moment Hillier.-\nfollowed. Despite this advantage, Kitchener was unable to score until both\nYpres players returned.\nHillier came back as Chum Irvin was\nbenched for loafing in tho Kitchener\ngoal mouth.

HELP TO WIN THE WAR\nA New Tork banquet at which the\nchief dish was whale meat was given\na few days ago and is to be understood a,s the opening gun of a campaign which has for its object the\npopularization of this food on the\nNorth American continent. The Idea\nIs to teach the American and Canadian\npeople to eat whale meat, which will\nbe placed on the market at about 12c\na pound, under the auspices of Mr.\nHoover and thus release an equal\namount of pork and beef to be shipped\noverseas. It Is calculated that tho\nwhaling industry on the Pacific coast\nwhich Is' the largest In the1 world,\ncan supply about 75,000,000 pounds of\nwhale meat a year, and while t)\\\\\nwould be less than a pound a year for\nevery man, woman and child \\n tho\nUnited States, Mr.\" Hoover believes the\neffort to mako even this saving is Important. This fact lit Itself shows how\ngrave the food situation ,1s ln Europe\nand how critical will be the next few\nmonths. If It Is presented to the peo-\nplo as a patriotic duty to eat a pound\nof whale meat a year, there can be no\ndoubt of the response. The man who\ncould not get away with a pound in\nthe course of a year must be either a.\npacifist or a pro-Gorman.\nWhat a Whale le.\nUndoubtedly there doos exist a popular prejudice against regarding whalo\nas anything but a source of valuable\noil and the raw material for womenV\nstays.

The\nnotion that the whale ls not fit to be\neaten is due to the fact that the whale\nwith which people along he Atlantic\ncoast are familiar, namely the sperm\nwhale, the so-called right whale and\nthe bowhead are not fit to eat. But just\naa there are pigs and pigs r.o there aro\nwhales and others.

Ray Chiipman Andrews, assistant\ncurator of mammals at the American\nMuseum of National History, who has\nhunted and photographed and eaten\nwhales for years, says that whales,\ncontrary to general opinion, have no\nfishy flavor and he also explodes another bombshell to the effect that\nwhales do not eat fish. Now, the notion that whales feed exclusively upon\nlittle fish which they strain through\nan extremely small throat, Is even\nmore widespread than a disbelief in the\nstory of Jonah. Mr. Andrews says\nthat the whale when extremely hungry\nwill peck at a few million sea herring\nbut his real staple diet is composed of\nshrimps.

He admits that there Is an olllness about tho\nmeat, but this can be abolished by putting a dash of soda in tho water ln\nwhich tho meat is boiled.
