S. II. ll. WINS

Continued from page 1

Mr. MacGulgan, lender of the B.D.U. team begun by defining nationalization. Ho based his arg- ument upon the assumption that freight rates were too high and proved that such was not the case. He proved that ths C.P.R.. hsd s good record except during the depression and showed that the system had u good history. The second speaker on the U.N.B. team, Mr. O'Brien, stated that cheap transportation was ne- cessary in the Msrltlmes, and ob- talnsble only by nationalization. He discussed the C.P.R.'s sur- plus snd their application for 1n- creased freight rates pointing out that the surplus should be used. He cited the Toronto Transports.- tlon Committee ss a. sample of cf- ficlent nationalization and said that in view of this C.P. R. could be more efficient if nationalized. He based his case partially on the P.E. I. brief to the ‘Transportation Commission.

Mr. Keefe, second speaker on

the S.D.U. teem stated that if C.P.R. were nationalized it would be statism and ‘socialism. He sho\v- ed that our one nationalized rnil- wsy had had s record of ineffic- iency, polltical influence and de- ficits and that if nationalization of 0.1’. R. were so treated it would be neglecting s. lesson of history. He MIVBJICCG the de-nationsllzn- tion of the O. N. R. as the solution of the railway problem. In the rebuttals the S.D.U. speakers attacked the arguments of the visiting speakers terming them to be socialistic. Each U.N.- B. dcbator singled out the argu- ment of one 5.13.17. man for at- tack In their rebuttsls.

Lsst night's debuts marked the ‘eighth win in ten starts for SD.- U. debuting teams. Their two rc- maining debates this year are against Dnlhouslc and St. Thomas Universities.

Mr. Drew said the sympathy of most members for Mr. Qarson “cannot be quite the ssme after his statement when he seeks to convey the impression that this was the result merely of pfflcflcnj difficulties and seeks to convey the impression that a. criticism of this course w-as an sttempt to destroy his reputation." The delay had been caused by opposition of Trade Minister Howe to the report and by general disagreement with- In the Government over it.

The Prime Minister and Mr. Carson united In an interpretation of the combines law.
