OTTAWA, 0nt., June as (Spee- lal) There is a general misunder- standing regarding the amount oi money which the Government has to iind ior the Canadian National Railways, declared T. _I-I. Cooper, vice-president and comptroller oi the system, beiore the banking and c us: committee oi the Senate during examination oi the 104B capital budget oi the C. N. R.

"The public impression that the

to a considerable amount every year is contrary to the’ actual position." he said. "The railway has paid to the government ior more than it received. The capital requirements oi the C. N. R. dur- ing the last eight years totalled $59,318,000. An average oi seven millions o, year, and I submit that this ls not a large amount ior a railway with 23,400 miles oi line. Our capital investment is mqer two billions, and the annual re- quirements therefore represent about one-third oi one percent oi the total property investment."

The railway capital require- ments were set at iiity-nine mih lion dollars, by Mr. Cooper, “Be- cause oi surplus earnings during the war years, the C. N. R. has been able to pay ior $112,000,000 oi government capital loan, so that on balance the comrpany has paid to the government iiity - three millions mom than it recei- ved on capital account. At the end oi i939 the capital debt was $1,325,- 555,000, and at the end oi 1947 it has been reduced to $1,212,880,- 000. In addition to these pay- ments on capital account to the government the railway has ‘psid interest to the government during the eight years period amounting to SIIIUWLRI" he said.

The value oi the Canadian Nat- ional Railways to the people oi Canada is considerably more than the two billion dollars shown in the accounts, said Mr. Cooper in reply to questions by Senator John T. Halg. oi Winnipeg. The railway has opened up vast areas ior col- onization made possible the deve- lopment oi the nations natural re- sources and provided s vital trans- potrtstlon service at a low irelght rs o,

inaugurate “All-up" Mall July l

_a iQkeAA

As announced by the Postmaster General in. the House o! Commons recently, Canada, Post Oiiice will inaugurate. on Dominion Day, July i. the new system oi "All-Up" mall service. -

Briefly this means ‘that on and aiter that date all First Class mail posted in Canada ior delivery in Canada, and weighing one ounce or less will be transported by air when. by doing so. delivery to the addressee will be expedited. In ei- iect, only mall which is correctly prepaid at 4 cents, will be aiiected, and then only ii there is a time advantage to the addressee in giv- ing the item airllit: "

"This will put into the air a very important and substantial class oi mall, and in keeping with the his-

tcric nature o! the event approp-

riate ceremonies will mark the ln- auguration on Dominion Day a- cross Canada. Details regarding these ceremonies will be announced at a later date. .

In order that there may be no public contusion regarding the nature oi the new service, the Post Ofllce desires to draw attention to the following points:

Air Mail service will still be av- ailable ior the accomm ‘ tion oi all mail prepaid at existing air snail rates. In other words, s. pat- Z021 wishing to send an item oi ilrst class mail, weighing more than one ounce. by air may still do so by propaying at Air Mail rates. He may also prepay at air mail rates an item to which "All-Up" treat- ment ordinarily would be given 1i he wants to make sure the letter will travel by air.

In cases where the patron is de- pending on "All-Up" treatment oi his letter ior carriage by air, at- tention should be psid to the weight oi the. item to make sure it is one ounce or less.

Letters, aiter July 1. should not be endorsed “Air Mail" unless pre- paid at sir mall rates.

To get the fullest possible ben- eiis from the new "All-Up" service. the patron should address his mall iully and clearly, and post as soon as possible.

While the new “All-Up" service ls being made available to the public by the Post Oilice in con- junction with Trans-Canada. Air Lines, the iact that a patron may be located in a. centre not directly served by T.C.A. does not mean he will not benefit. All mail quail- iylng ior "All-Up" treatment will be given airliit from the T. C. A. centre nearest the point oi origin.

Party Convention Tu Choose Leader Unique in Empire

_._,-

‘ By ILK. CARNEGIE (Canadian Preaa scan Writer) OFITAWA, June N — (C?) —

Next August, a national conven- tion oi the Liberal party will elect a leadership successor to Prime Minister Mackenzie King. 1t is an election procedure unique in Com- monwealth politics.

Nowhere else under the British political system is this typically American practice in use. And. even in Canada, it is carapa-ra- ively new.

The first time it was used in 1919, when Mr. King was chosen.| Before that, the national leaders- oi all parties were selected by the parliamentary caucuses, compris- ing members in the Senate and

House c-l C- rnmons.

The caucus system continues in

the United Kingdom and the oth-f er Domlnlons. In Britain, {or in-' stance, the Labor, Conservative and Liberal leaders are chosen by the parliamentary parties, made up oi the party members in the Commons and House oi Lords. ' In the case oi the Labor party, the annual meeting which in ei- iect, is a national convention can endorse or refuse to accept‘ the choice oi the parliamentary party; but it has always endorsed him in the past.

In the United States, Presiden- tial candidates are chosen by na- tional conventions. held every iour years. President Truman will have to carry the Democratic convention this year ii he wants to be the party's candidate.

In Canada however, Mr.. King has never had to iace another na- tlonal convention. The party has been satisiled with his leadership and there has never been any call to go to the trouble and expense oi bringing together another con—; vention when its result was a foregone conclusion.

Conservative Conventions

The Conservative party iollow- ed the Liberal example when it chose the late Viscount Bennett as its leader in 1927. the late l-ion. RJ. Manion in 193B, and John Bracken in 1942. In each case the new convention was called alter the previous leader retired.

There is no precedent in either the Liberal or Progressive Con- servative parties ior s national convention to throw out one man and put in another. Certainly a parliamentary caucus would not have the power to dismiss a lead- er that had been chosen by a na- tional convention.

The 0.01‘. has a system closer to the American procedure. Mal.

Caldwell, the present leader, has to be re-endorsed at each biennial convention. He will be voted upon at the party convention to be held in Winnipeg the week after the liberal convention in Ottalwa.

An authority on Australian pro- cedurc told The Canadian Press there is little chance his country will iollow the Canadian example.
