E.
J.
Garland,
U.F.A.
of
Bow
River
in
the
House
of
Commons
last
night
stated
that
both
major
political
parties
were
pledged
to
the
proposal.
The
time
for
carrying
out
this
work
was
during
depressed
conditions
rather;
than
waiting
for
good
times
he
said.
'
Hon.
R.
J.
Manion,
minister
of
railways,
said
he
was
in
complete
sympathy
with
those
who
were
advocating
the
outlet
but
the
solution
was
not
an
easy
one.
It
was
not
a
case
of
the
government
stepping
in
and
building
the
road.
The
two
large
railways
must
first
come
to
some
decision
on
a
desirable
route
and
up
to
the
present
the
roads
had
reached
no
decision.
Mr.
Manion
said
the
railways
think
if
the
railway
is
built
it
should
be
by
the
government.
His
opinion
was
that
the
government
should
not
proceed
on
a
costly
railway
construction
program,
possibly
duplicating
future
roads,
without
giving
long
consideration
