So the Peace River Railway situation today is this: Premier Bennett, his nartv and his irovernment. are under solemn pledge to build the Pacific Coast Outlet. There can be no oppositionsince the Liberal party is equally pledged. , Parliament has unanimously given Premier Bennett and his government lhe money and the authority to go ahead with construction right away. Premier Bennett has the reputation of being a solo performer. Parliaments, cabinets and similar institutions annoy and hahiper him. i SUBSERVIENT TO PREMIER Well, Parliament has gone home. The cabinet is completely subservient to the Prime Minister's will. Mr. Ben nett has a blank cheque In his pocket. He has himself assured the country that great Construction projects are immediately necessary to cope With unemployment. All the arguments that hae ever been uttered by himself and others as to the need for a Pacific Coast Outlet for Peace River's 22,000,000 fertile acres still apply. The whole issue is up to one man Premier R. B. Ben nett. He has the reputation of being a man of honor. Failure to get Peace River Railway construction i way before March 31. 1032. the datp nn which th niitw ity vested in his Bill 142 expires, will blast that reputation forever.
