Effect

underestimated
by
John

Hackett,
Conservative
member
of

for
Stanstead,
states
Sir
Henry

president
o'

In

here.
He
referred
ti
statements
made
by
Mr.
Hackett
In
a
speech
at
Toronto
recently.
"The
situation
facing
the
large

in
the
United
States,
a
well

carriers
In
Canada,
demonstrates
that
financially
the
effect
of

has
been

Combined

National
and
Canadian
Pacific
in
1931
will
be
approximately
$192,000,000
below
gross
earnings
of

An
answer
to
Mr.
Hackett's
general
charge
that
the
reduced

of
the
Canadian
Paelf:;
are
due
to
