the Associated ddressing
Buards of Trade banquet at Winnipeg recently, E. W. Beatty, chairman and president of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, said that one of the most significant facts of the confer- chee was the desire of men from all parts of Canada to discuss the country's problema from an ecomanic and national point of view, free from the bewildering influence of political partisan- shin "This," Mr. Bealty sold, lends me to the Inevitable con- clusion

tal attitude which comes from understanding and is the result of honest education.
In order to achieve rational prosperity, Mr. Beatty, advocated an extensive immigration policy to supply the man power necessary "for the "largest undeveloped country in the world." "If I had any sugges tion to make in respect to this question," continued the president, would suggest that we take it out of the field of statistics and place

No Immigration scheme for Canada can ever achieve success unices due allowance is made for such human factors."
On the same occasion Sir Thomas White, former Federal Minister of Finance, paid a high tribute to Mr. Beatty. Sir Thomas said that he had always looked upon Mr. Beatty as a representative Canadian who typified the qualities which are to be found in true Canadians. Mr. Beatty had carved his own niche in Canadian affairs and had made his own way

of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Mr. Beatty occupied one of the highest positions in the Dominion and was absolutely unspoiled by his enormous success, and Bir Thomas ilked to think that in this, the former was also a characteristie Canadian.
Referring to the improvement of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the former Finance Minister pointed out that the history of the Dominion and the Company wera intertwined and could not be disassociated. The Canadian Pacific Railway had stood as the type of exemplary Canadian. enterprise and courage in the face of apparently insurmountable obstacles. Sir Thomas also commented favorably at the good work the Canadian Pacific Railway had done during the Great War, and later on in going Ahead with work, at the request of the Government, in order to gira
