G. Wells lias been indulging in philosophical\nreflections as to \"what is coining\" after the war.

That is the worst of a repu-\ntaiton. It destroys initiative and decision. It is the smoked\nglasses of speculation. It clouds rather than clears the\nvision. In brief, Mr. Wells seems to have written these\narticles wilh his eye on the public- and ihc publishers.\nPresumably they will be published as a book and Mr. Wells\nhas been fettered by tlieir binding. They may be used\nsome years hence as evidence against him when next he\nindulges in philosophic reflection.

('ne or\ntwo of them stir the imagination and indicate a more definite conclusion to a train of thought than occurs in most\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDof them. In a sense they are vague and possibly they\ncould be nothing else. It is impossible to state with any\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcertainty \"what is coming\" after tbe war. A great deal\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDdepends mi the length of the war and its final results, that\nis, the final territorial changes the. war will make. But\nignoring such uncertainties, there is one certainty on which\nwe can reckon without prophesying and for which we\n-ought to make proper provision. The men who have joined\nthe army for the war will return to civilian life, and the\nlonger the war the greater number of men who will finally\nreturn, expecting employment. In llritish Columbia the\nlegislature has at last, under the pressure of circumstances,\ntried to combine some new land legislation with provision\nfor the returned soldiers. It is, like \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDo much of Mr. Bowser's legislation, hurried on for lhe purpose of the elections. It is an attempt to make use of the Agricultural\npicion by certain of the more old-\nfashioned pioneers from Sutherland-\nshire.\nAt seventeen years of age John\nMackay was tbe teacher at Holyropd\nSchool, at Holyrood, Out.

There would be a regular\nStanding army of workers which would form the nucleus\nof the whole system. At certain periods this army might\nbe extremely small as drafts were made upon it by private enterprise. But at the same time there would bc the\ntwo or three year service brigades who would be reserved\nfor national work. It is a curious fact tllat thousands of\nmen will willingly risk tlieir lives to kill other men or i\nconquer territory, but would laugh at the idea of serving'\na short period of their existence in an army whose main |\npurpose was constructive. They will volunteer to spend\nmonths in a muddy trench in Flanders, but would think it\nextraordinary to volunteer to build a highway through\nllritish Columbia. Yet the war has brought about a change\nwhich is bound to revolutionize conditions. In Grcat Britain today there is a huge army of voluntary workers not\nin private employment, but thc employment of the state.\nTheir total earnings are enormous. \"What is to come\"\nout of this entirely new condition? You cannot dismantle\nyour factories and turn the workers out on to the street.\nYou can only gradually turn them to other and more productive work. Here, however, you have the basis of National Service.\nBREAK NEW GROUND\nIt is no use crying out that this or that suggestion is\nsocialistic or futile. We have to abandon our line of\nthought and seriously consider whether we are going. Are\nwe to cling to our old beliefs and our old prejudices which\nhave proved their weakness when we have the opportunity,\nif only we had the will, to break entirely new ground.\nCanada of all nations is most favored because she has such\nan enormous variety of resources and a variable climate.\nHere on the Pacific Coast we flatter ourselves wc are virile\nand all that is summed up by \"western.\" Judging by our\nactions wc are no mure progressive than the east. Anyone\nwith foresight or imagination can glimpse some \"f the\nvast possibilities which have become practicable through\nthe war, and think how to deal with them. Hut when we\nturn to the legislature the people despair. The whole issue\nat Victoria is simply whether a petty little party politician\ncan keep himself in office by pandering to every interest\nwhich conies along with some new demand. There is not\nthe slightest indication of statesmanship or determination\nto provide for the future on proper lines. 11 should take\nweeks and months of hard concentrated work to lay the\nFoundations of any policy on wlveh we can build our future. Instead first one bill and then another is rushed\nthrough the legislature as a proof of \"business.\" We have\nto begin at the beginning. Wc have to ask what gave\nGermany her strength and would have given her the domination of thc world\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDif she had not gone to war. It was\nher attention to detail and her recognition of the fact tliat\na nation to be prosperous cannot afford to waste its material resources, either human or natural. One of the first\nthings for which wc have to legislate is the elimination of\nhuman waste. Once that is accomplished we have to concentrate on the development of our natural resources.\nNational service should not be confined to militarism. It\nshould embrace productive work as well as thought.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDCRITICUS.\nUNSKILLED LABOR\nIt is no use to dismiss the problem which has thus arisen\nby thc easy route of the nationalisation of industry. Wc\nhave apparently taken many long strides along thc road to\nsuch a result but immediately we direct the energies of\nthese new voluntary workers into productive channels, we\nintroduce the element of competition between national\nand private enterprise. The market problems of supply\nand demand cannot be entirely regulated and the prices\nof manufactured articles are regulated by supply and de\nmand. The millenium as depicted by Edward Bellamy in\n\"Looking Backward\" is not yet, but there is an immense\namount of national productive enterprise which should\ngradually absorb the surplus labor of what may be called\nindustrial competitive enterprise and stabilise thc demand\nand supply of labor. There is skilled and unskilled labor\nand it is to the problem of unskilled labor particular attention should be directed. If all unskilled labor is con\nstantly employed there will be very little skilled labor\nunemployed. The proulem is really only touched on here.\nNo attempt is made to work it out to any logical conclu\nsion. The need of the day is for men calmly to sit down\nand think out the possibilities of the future; basing their\nreasoning not on the prejudices of the past but on what\nis happening today. It will not do to generalize. Each\nphase of- the situation must be examined, each different\nkind of labor carefully scheduled!. It is in this kind of\nreasoning that Germany has led the way and made many\npractical experiments.\nA MAGNIFICENT OPPORTUNITY\nThe men who have served Canada at the front are naturally not going to be satisfied with the old conditions.\nWe cannot expect them, after experiencing the tremendous stimulant of organized effort, to calmly acquiesce\nin the old haphazard methods. Canada has an extraordinary opportunity to lead thc way on this hemisphere and\nby so doing to increase her population and wealth at a\nvery great rate. We arc accustomed to follow the lines\nof least resistance and worry ourselves with all kinds of\nfads and fancies imported from the United States, which\nis the happy hunting ground of quackery. This war has\nput us years ahead of our great neighbor in the possibilities of adapting ourselves to \"what is coming.\" Our labor\nunions and our various associations for various purposes\nwere never before so united on one object, nor so unselfishly looking to the good of thc state. The war has made us\npull together, it would bc a thousand pities if peace were\nto pull us apart once more. The men who wi\nto us from lhe war, added to the thousands of people\nwho arc quite likely to emigrate to Canada after, the war,\nshould form a nucleus on which wc can all combine. If\nwe can solve our labor problem through some such method\nas has been suggested, there will be a tremendous influx\nof peuple and capital from the United States.\nWATERED MILK\nThere is only one way of tackling this problem of \"what\nis coming\" after the war. The Dominion government\nshould consult with each Provincial government and discover exactly what can and cannot be done. Presumably\nif matters are left as they are the employers are expected\nto take back the men who have enlisted regardless altogether of circumstances which may then exist, or whether\nthc returned men will be fit or even willing to accept the\nold life. These men have seen a vision, they have had the\nscales torn from their eyes, and have faced life nakedly.\nThey cannot be expected to be content with the old life.\nThey will come back to a land popularly supposed to be\nflowing wilh milk and honey and find the milk watered\nbecause a bacteriologist has persuaded some association\nthat pure mlik is liable tn bring on fatty degeneration, and\nthe stickiness taken out of the honey because some children have spoilt their clothes while eating it. They will\nfind the whole tendency of modern legislation towards\nprotecting this or thatiperson from this or that temptation. They vvill find the real wealth of the land and the\nproductive power of thc people remain atrophied simply\nbecause this or that legislature cannot borrow more money\nto carry on public work and private enterprise will not\nihvest because It never knows what legislation may be\ndiscovered necessary to the salvation of the people.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDEDITORIAL OPINIONS!\n\"The liulli nt all times firmly stand*\nAnd shall from ngc Id ngc endure.\"\nHOLDING UP THE RETAIL MERCHANTS\nTHE agitation for a compulsory half-holiday for clerks\nis going merrily forward. Citizens do not seem to\nrealize that if this measure is put into effect a sad\nblow vvill be struck to the business life of the cily.\nWhile it would appear that a weekly half-holiday would\nbe desirable from the standpoint of employers and employees, it does not seem the right thing that the privilege\nof settling upon the date of the half-holiday should not\nbe left to the people directly concerned.\nAnyone who has made the most superficial investigation\nof the situation knows that Saturday afternoon, in the\ncity of Vancouver at least, has become the biggest buying\nday in the week. Among the daily newspapers Friday is\nthe big day for thc retail advertisers. They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every month putting forward\nspecial advertisements every Friday of wares which are\nto be offered on Saturday afternoon.\nThere is a merchant on Hastings Street who employs\neight clerks the year around. Last Friday these eight\nclerks took in a total of $85.00. The following afternoon\nthe same eight clerks took in over $600.00. This may be\ntaken as a typical case. Saturday is the big day for the\nretailer and the retailers and thc consumers have been\neducated up.to the habit of tloing most of their buying\nduring the hours the agitators would be pleased to have\nthe stores-darkened.\nSaturday afternoon is the buying day for the out-of-\ntown trade. Visitors from the smaller centres up country,\nfrom the Fraser Valley, from points on Vancouver Island,\ncome to Vancouver for the week-end. It is the most convenient time for them. They come each week-end in large\nnumbers and there coming has meant the keeping alive of\na good many retail institutions in this city during good\nand bad times. We are a city, not in anywise self-supporting. We are dependent absolutely upon thc outside. It\nwould scarcely bc good business to place upon the statute\nbooks any legislation calculated to cut Vancouver off from\nthe outside communities. There is no doubt but lhat Saturday closing would he a splendid institution for Eaton\nand Company of Winnipeg and Toronto. It would he a\ngood thing for lhe mail order houses. For these outside\ninstitutions may do business every day in lhe week that\nrailways, post offices and express companies keep open.\nThe tourist who strikes Vancouver on a Saturday afternoon and finds the stores closed will think that he has\nconic to a city of the dead. Ile will likely take the first\ntrain out. If he is an American he vvill head directly for\nSeattle and thc change of garments Canadian laws prohibit him from buying in Vancouver on Saturday afternoon.\nThe weekly half-holiday proposal might well be left in\nleturn I t],e hands of the merchants and their employees for settlement. The British way has proved satisfactory. In Ihe\nold country they have their weekly half-holiday but no\nPrussian rule is made that it shall be on any one afternoon. This matter is settled by the parties interested\nand the half-holidays are distributed over the week among\nthe trades in such a manner that every business is closed\na half day during thc week\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe day most suitable to tbe\nparticular trade interested.\nIt would seem that if the clerks are well advised they\nwill co-nperate with the heads of the firms and turn a\ndeaf car to political tricksters who apparently have created\nthe Saturday afternoon boon as a commodity to trade for\nvotes. Such co-operation upon the question of the half-\nholiday might result in more and better business for the\nretail trade of Vancouver, and more and better positions\nfor intelligent and efficient clerks.\nB\nTHE WOES OF THE MOVIE MEN\nRITISH COLUMBIA, from the point of view of the\nmoving picture producer and the moving picture exhibitor, is the Jonah among the Provinces and States.\nWe have here a censorship of motion pictures more strict\nthan anything of the kind which exists over the North\nAmerican film. Thc moving picture censor has complete\ncontrol over the motion picture industry in this Province.\nHe has caused exhibitors tremendous losses and has robbed\nlhe public of the pleasure of viewing many an artistic production.\nSo severe did the local Caesar's censorship become that\nthe producers down Xew York way thought it would be\na good idea to teach some of the people of British Columbia a lesson. They therefore held a meeting and decided\nthat each house should release .it'll feet of film each week\nwhich would set forth scenes and stories calculated to hold\nBritish Columbia up to the ridicule of the world.\nThis was ralher a severe threat and had it been carried\ninto effect the damage that would have been done tbis province would have been incalculable. Because the motion\npicture business of America has a world-wide circulation.\nThe producers had a scheme whereby ihey would show\nfor instance a picture, entitled, \"Street Scene in Vancouver.\" There Would be set forth after tbis caption a scene\nshowing a farmer stuck with a team of horses in a mud\nhole ill from oi a rickety building which would be marked\n\"City Hall.\"\nAnother picture would claim lo set forth \"Fine Building\nLois al Port Mann.\" This picture would show some of the\nfamous industrial scenery ill that sub-division which went\nto lhe unwary al a thousand a front foot.\nWc do not know what the picture producers said to the\nBritish Columbia authorities. Hut we do know that since\nthe plan was first printed the censorship has relaxed somewhat.\nNow the Government has a new way of getting after\nowners of picture houses. They are granting close corporation privileges to thc moving picture machine operators and centralizing all power formerly held by the municipalities in a department of the Government at Victoria.\nIn fact every phase of lhe motion picture business has been\nbrought, like the whiskey trade, under the order-in-council.\nIn time the moth n picture trade in this Province will\nhe released from bondage. In the meantime if the government is making any changes in the act. it might be well\nto incorporate some of the ideas which have been applied\nin other communities, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba have a joint censorship at Winnipeg. This cuts down\nthe cost of administration and saves the picture exhibitors\ntime and money. 'They have a board at Winnipeg and the\nruling of this body is seldom questioned by lhe picture\npeople.\nSATURDAV^CHINOOK\nBREEZES OF INDIGNATION\nAND INFORMATION\nFREE TRADE LEAGUE FOR WESTERN CANADA\n\"E?

A provisional organization has\nbeen effected in Winnipeg, for lhe purpose of carrying out\nthe necessary preliminary work to holding the convention,\nVery considerable work will have to be done in the direction of publicity and detail before the proposed convention can be held. Tbe first thing undertaken by the provisional committee was to consult with leading free traders\nthroughout the West by correspondence. The result of\nthis correspondence has been most gratifying. In almost\nevery instance enthusiastic replies have been received\noffering co-operation and assistance in every way possible.\nThe belief has been generally expressed that the time is\nmore than ripe for the organization of a great movement\nfor trade freedom. As an indication of the general favor\nwith which the proposal has been received it may be stated\nthat about $1,000 has been voluntarily subscribed, practically without solicitation or publicity effort.\nIn the provisional organization a special effort has been\nmade to select a committee who would give their time and\nattention to the work of the league, rather than to select\nmore widely-known names. The local committee in charge\nof thc preliminary work is composed of experienced workers, who will give their time uustintingly to tbe cause of\nreform.\nFollowing are the names of the provisional advisory\nboard and local committee: Dr. Michael Clark, M.P., Red\nDeer, Alberta; Alex.

Royal Commissions, no matter how substantial\ntheir personnel, have in the aggregate\nproved farcical. They take voluminous evidence. But by the time their\nreport is filed, half a dozen brand new\nscandals have arrived and those under investigation by the royal commission have either died, disappeared\nor been sent to a political refuge.\nSir Robert Borden should take a\nmuch stronger stand on this fuse and\nshell business. The citizens ask for 1\nlhal. They feel thai something is\nwrong. The government must clean !\nhouse, even ii lhe loss of a Cabinet\nminister is involved.

Then there is the sun-\nloving portulaea, with its pink, scarlet,\norange, and while marguerite-like\nflowers, which make a charming edging.\nFor growing in shady corners.\nchoose giant ferns, Solomon's seal,\nyellow musk, mimulus in crimson,\nspotted and golden yellow, love-lies-\nbleeding, periwinkle, and tobacco\nplains.

The Scottish briar\nroses do not need pruning, excepting during the first spring after planting, and this rule applies to that\nsection known as the Penzance hybrid sweetbriars. Polyantha roses\nneed only to have the centre of the\nlittle dwarf bushes kept open and dead\nstems cut away from time to time.\nAll pruning should be done with a\nknife or secateurs made for the purpose, and only a clean wound should\nbe allowed.

Foley, Welch and Stewart, dwelling at great\nlength on the Need of Railways to the Province and\nthe \" Disadvantage \" labored by owners. \" Help a\npoor blind man \" is the argument now.\n*********\nOf the many arguments which have been put up in favor of allowing\nMessrs. Foley, Welch and Stewart free entrance to the llritish Columbia\nstrong room, an article appearing in a recent issue of the British Columbia\nfinancial TIMES is probably the most interesting. In it the writer handles\ntlu- case for the contractors in a masterly manner and presents material which\nwill be interesting to the citizens generally.\nThat Messrs. Foley, Welch and Stewart individually have gone on a\ncovenant to complete the road is a point which the writer in thc financial paper\nclaims to bc important. Ile says that in all their enterprises, Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann always drew the line at going personally behind any of their\npromotions.\nThe writer blames the war for much of Foley. Welch and Stewart's alleged financial trouble and also failure of the real estate market al Squamish,\nD'arcy and other points un'the new line of Railway.\nBoth these misfortunes have not\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthough this is not pointed out\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDinterfered with the firm of Foley\", Welch and Stewart going ahead with immense\nship-building projects in the United Stales, as announced recently in the\nnewspapers, while the grade of the P. G. IJ. is disintegrating under the spring\nrains of British Columbia.\nThe following is the article from the llritish Columbia Financial TIMES:\nThe necessity and reasonablenss of tion of the road. If, for instance,\nthe Province of British Columbia giving aid to the Pacific Gerat Eastern\nRailway fur the completion of its line\nbecome manifest when the present position and the future of this great\nNorth and South transportation undertaking is fully considered.\nTo date the railway is completed\nfrom Squamish, at the head of Howe\nSound, to Clinton, and this part of\nthe line is in operation. From Clinton to Fort George, where it taps the\nGrand Trunk Pacific, only grading\nhas been completed. It thus begins\nat tide water and ends nowhere.\nAccording to a detailed statement\nof expenditures printed elsewhere in\nthis issue and vouched for by officials\nof the railway company, thc Pacific\nGreat Eastern has spent to December\n31, 1915, $28,292,398, of which the Government has suppleid, through the sale\nby the railway company of its Pru-\nvincially guaranteed bonds, $19,385,-\n120, leaving a net balance of cash supplied by the contractors of $8,907,278.\nTo finish building the railway from\nClinton to Fort George, thus enabling\nthe railway to handle transcontinental\nfreight, it is estimated by the Provincial Government engineers, a cash\noutlay of about $6,500,000 will be required.\nWith about $23,000,000 of securities\noutstanding, bearing 4 1-2 per cent,\ninterest or pledged, the Pacific Great\nEastern is paying fixed charges of\n$1,000,000 per year. This interest\ncharge must be met although, because\nof its inability to connect with Fort\nGeorge, it is unable to handle the\nconsiderable revenue producing\nfreight both to and from Vancouver\nthrough this connection with the\nGrand Trunk Pacific.\nFurthermore, it is the unfortunate\nexperience of graded lines that have\nnot been laid with rails and ballasted\nto sustain a very heavy loss because\nof depreciation through washouts and\nother disintegrating effects to roadbed. The railway company estimates\nthat if no rails are laid on the graded\nline from Clinton to Fort George this\nyear the loss involved will be about\n$1,000,000. Thus, by way of interest\nand depreciation, the company will\nsuffer a loss of $8,000,000 this year and\nthis also means the serious delay of a\nyear in preparedness to take advantage of the after war conditions,\nwhich, it is confidently expected, will\ninitiate a tide of westward immigration from Europe of which British\nColumbia will get its share.\nThc demand from some sources for\ninvestigation of expenditures on the\nrailway by the Government, before\nthe Government should extend aid to\nthe company, is made without an understanding of thc facts. An investigation perhaps should be undertaken\nat an early date if for no other purpose than to satisfy public opinion\nas to value being received for the\nwork done. But this investigation can\nbe carried on concurrently with the\nprosecution of construction. The\ncompany invites an examination of\nthe work done by any responsible railway engineer who could in view of an\nexpenditure of only $18,000,000 arrive\nat a very close estimate as to whether\nvalue has been received from the expenditure.\nBut thc question of value being received is really more important to the\nowners than to thc Province.\nThc principle back of tbe construction of thc Pacific Grcat Eastern is\ndifferent from that of the construction of the Canadian Northern Pacific.\nIn thc latter case thc covenant of only\nthe Canadian Northern Railway is\nheld. Sir William Mackenzie and Sir\nDonald Mann are not personally held\non that covenant. But in the case of\nthe Pacific Great Eastern the members of thc firm of Foley, Welch &\nStewart arc individually liable on their\npersonal covenants for the comple-\nFoley, Welch & Stewart sold tlieir\ninterest to another company or firm,\nthey each would be liable under the\ncovenant for the completion of the\nroad, unless relieved by an act of thc\nLegislature of British Columbia. The\nProvince ,of British Columbia certainly appears to have given itself\nample protection in this undertaking.\nBy lending the railway company money fur immediate construction, the\nliability of Foley, Welch & Stewart is\nnot affected and recourse can be had\nas easily six months or a year hence\nas at present and can be as easily enforced. The Province is losing nothing in proceeding with construction\npending an investigation, but in fact\nis saving $2,000,000, the loss of which\nwould bc burnc Dy the railway ur the\nGovernment. Someone will have to\npay for this loss. If, however, in the\nopinion uf the Government, the investigation should prove wasteful and\nextravagant work on the part of the\ncontractor, the Government could\nthen take the same action as was open\nto it if thc work had been suspended\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwith this advantage, however, that\nthc unnecessary loss involved in the\nsuspension of work would be saved.\nBut the crux of the matter lies in a\ndifferent direction.\n-\'r. Patrick\nWelch is the general contractor tor\nthe railway. He is on the covenant\nwith the Government along with the\nother members of Foley, Welch &\nStewart, and un completion of the\nrailway will be one of the owners oi\nit with the other members of Foley,\nWelch & Stewart. An examination ol\ndetailed statement of expenditures\npresented shows that to December\n31, 1915, the contractor, or Foley,\nWelch & Stewart spent nearly nine\nmillion dollars more than received\nfrom the proceeds of bond sales. Thus\nit is evident that the railway cannot\nhe constructed for the amount of the\nguarantee, namely $42,000 per mile.\nThe balance must be made up out ol\nthe pockets of Foley, Welch & Stewart. Is it not therefore plain that\nso-called profits for construction is a\nmisnomer? P. Welch, as a contractor,\nmakes a profit on construction by subcontracting for less than the amount\nof the whole contract. P. Welch, as\nan owner, in reality makes a saving\nny that much so-called profit to himself and lhal of his co-partners on his\ncovenant with the Government, and\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDeduces his liabilities as an owner by\nlhat much less weight of securities or\nloans upon the railway company and\nupon which he must pay interest.\nThe direct interest, therefore, of Mr.\nP. Welch, as well as the interest of\nthe Province, is to keep the cost of\nconstruction as low as possible. By\nconsulting tbe table of expenditures it\nwill be noted that there is an item of\nSub-contractors' Losses amounting to\n$1,085,969. It would thus appear that\neither some of thc sub-contractors did\nnot know the extent of the work they\ntendered on or that P. Welch drove\ntoo hard a bargain. At any rate, he\nhad to come to tlieir assistance or take\nover the finishing of these various\nsub-contracts. A good part of the\ncost of finishing this work is represented in the above item.\nIf, as is shown, it is to the direct interest of Foley, Welch and Stewart\nto save as much as possible, it still\nmay be charged that they are efficient\nand therefore extravagant. The history of this firm for a quarter of a\ncentury does not bear out this contention. Most of the money they have\nmade has been made in railway construction and these men have built\nmore mileage in the Dominion than\nany other contractors. They have\nbeen identified with the heavy construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific,\nthe Canadian Northern and the Canadian Pacific railways, and on none of\nthese contracts, or other great public\nworks which they have built, has it\nbeen stated tllat they lost considerable\nsums of money. Tiny certainly have\nthe widest experience, the greatest\nknowledge of this class ,,f construction, a strong organization and tremendous equipment for economically\nhandling of such an undertaking.' Added to this liny are very responsible\nmen. They have carried through every work ihey haw ever undertaken\nand they have been associated with\nsome of the greatesl public works in\nthe Dominion, The very large Can.i\ndian Pacific work, lhe Rogers Pass\nTunnel, was given to this firm on llie\nbasis of cost ami percentage. While\nability and efficiency mighl not be\nthe only consideration in giving this\nhuge work to this firm, it seems reasonable to suppose that they were the\nchief. Extravagance in construction\ncan never be charged against Foley,\nWelch & Stewart.\nIn weighing the situation of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, dm regard must be given to thc gravity of\nthe conditions brought about by the\nwar. New public works undertakings\nhave found it practically impossible to\nsurmount these conditions. The war\nhas had an almost paralysing effect\nupon the operations uf this company.\nIt had invested over two million dollars in land from which in the ordinary course of business it would have\nhad an immediate and commensurate\nreturn and which would have provided\na fund for financing the main undertaking. As the situation exists today, the company has not disposed of\none foot of land nor obtained the least\nreturn upon any of the capital expended by it. Everything has been disbursement up to the present time without a dollar coming back. The limit\nof the company's resources in this respect has now been reached, With several millions invested in the enterprise, the company can expect no relief in the ordinary course of business until after the termination of the\nwar. Government assistance in the\nshape of a loan at the present time is\ntherefore not only necessary but completely justifiable under the circumstances, and must be forthcoming il\nthe work of building this N'orth and\nSouth arterial line is not to come to\na standstill and be for thc present\nabandoned.\nThe serious handicap under which\nthe company is laboring through war\nconditions is illustrated by conditions\nwhich preceded the outbreak of the\nwar. Due to the fact that a railway\nalways enhances the value of the land\nit serves with transportation, it has\nbeen the experience of railways in\ncourse of construction to defray in\nconsiderable measure the cost of construction by the proceeds of the sale\nof railway lands and townsites. The\nCanadian Northern Railway, through\nthe sale of its lauds in Montreal, defrayed the cost of its expensive tunnel\nand terminals in that city. In a similar manner, thc Grand Trunk Pacific\npaid for the cost of its terminals at\nPrince Rupert out of the sale of tllat\ntownsite, and Irom the sale of its\ntownsites through the prairie provinces it was enabled to finance its\nconstruction for the amount required\nover the Dominion Government guarantee. Consider the extent lo which\nlhe development uf the Canadian Pacific Railway has promoted from the\nproceeds of its land sales. But the\nPacific Greal Eastern, on lhe contrary, has ils large outlay upon lands\nfor terminals and townsite purposes\nabsolutely lied up. bo thai tins company has been deprived of lhe use,\nnot only ,,f il,,. original capital, but of\nthe anticipated profits upon which it\nlargely relied as it was entitled to do\nfor construction purposes.\nThe Pacific Great Eastern Railway\npossesses greater significance to the\nfuture development of liirtish Columbia than that of any railway now traversing this Province. This great\nNorth and South transportation project taps more virgin territory and\nopens up larger possibilities for development than either of the two\ntranscontinental! recently completed;\nIt brings the greater portion of the\nmineral area of the Province, a large\nblock of timber, ami most of the future agricultural area, into direct tri-\nbutory relations with the Lower Mainland of British Columbia which contains and will always contain the bulk\nof the population of this Province.\nIn the future of this road the majority\nof our population have a mighty stake.\nJust a glance at the map of British\nColumbia will make this evident to\nanyone. Indeed this shows the Pacific Great Eastern as the stem of a\nsystem of branch lines that will have\nto be built in the future as tlie press\nof population will crowd iu on the\nareas that will have been settled a decade since by the building of this strategic and arterial main line. The significance also of Ibis line to the people\nof British Columbia when extended to\nthe great Peace River district is patent when it is considered that the last\nlarge great body of undeveloped agricultural laud in this Province lies in\nthat district, capable, it is said, of as\nL'xtcusive a cultivation as any in the\nDominion, The Province of Alberta\ns spending vast sums of money ilur-\nng the war to make this territory tributary to her main commercial cen-\nre.-i. while the natural outlet is the\nPacific Coast of British Columbia,\nIn view of what is mentioned above,\nit would seem that the only way out\nof the present situation is for the Government of British Columbia to make\na loan at as early a date as possible\nin order that no time be lost in finishing this railway. Money may now\nbe obtained at a rate in the neighborhood of six per cent., whereas a sale\nof the guaranteed securities of the\nrailway company would be effected at\nso great a discount as to bc consider'\ned a sacrifice rather than a sale. In\nthis thc Government would undoubtedly be acting in the best interests of\nthe Province both for its present and\nfuture welfare.\nPACIFIC GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY\nDetailed Statement Showing Total Expenditure to December 31, 1915, on\nPacific Great Eastern Undertaking\nLocation Engineering $ 198,293.82\nConstruction Engineering .193,974.84\nRight-of-Way and Station Grounds 1,226,132.32\nGrading 12,294,197.27\nTunnels 296,723.21\nBridges, Trestles and Culverts 2,639,501.28\nTies 396.765.48\nRails 1,152,294.96\nFrogs and Switches 24,406.45\nTrack Fastenings and other Material 257,352.71\nBallast UM6.44\nTracklaving and Surfacing 370.962.51\nFencing ' 1.767.82\nCrossings and Signs 1.537.79\nStation Buildings and Fixtures 615.38\nShops, Engine Houses and Turn Tables 11,439.80\nWater Stations 2,596.74\nFuel Stations 590.66\nDock and Wharf Property ' 3,642.71\nLaw Expense 3.346.25\nStationery and Printing 8.565.03\nI nsurance S55.80\nDiscounts on Securities issued 463,876.48\nInterest, Commissions and Exchange\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nInterest on Debenture Stock issued $1,519,976.12\nInterest on Union Bank of Canada Loan.... 225,766.97\nInterest, P.
