powerful
,
places,
so
Canada
may
not
have
to
suffer
the
boomerang
of
deflation,
equally
as
damaging,
which
now
appears
to
be
in
store
for
the
United
States.
As
spokesmen
at
Ottawa
point
out,
the
situation
in
Canada
is
not
parallel
4o-thatin
the
Jnited
States
so
the
price
collapse
that
has
commenced
in
the
States
and
which,
if
not
checked,
may
save
most
distressing
economic
repercussions
there,
may
not
be
felt
in
Canada
at
least
not
in
as
drastic
&i
distressing
degree.
What
United
States
has
suffered
in
the
way
of
jnfbtion
during
the
past
few
months
was
reflected
to
mild
degree
in
Canada,
of
course,
but
the
cour-juvous
policy
of
the
government
in
keeping
on
measures
of
control,
even
if
it
seemed
unpopular
at
limes,
ameliorated
the
shock
to
great
extent
as
every
one
who
buys
goods
knows.
The
demoralization
which
goes
with
a
sharp
recession
in
commodity
pjices
may
be
similarly
averted
to
large
pxtent
in
Canada,
it
is
to
be
expected,
j
Canada
still
sets
an
example
to
the
rest
of
the
World
in
the
matter
of
economic
stabilization.
Railways
and
Rates
A
STRONG
CASE
in
support
4
of
increase
in
railway
i
freight
rates
is,
of
course,
made
out
in
the
annual
statement
of
R.
C.
Vaughan,
president
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways,
when
he
shows
how
railway
costs
have
mounted
while
revenue
has
decreased
One
to
the
falling
off
of
the
(raffle
which
had
been
so
Stimulated
by
war
traffic
and
he
urgency
of
moving
of
Canada's
production
to
supply
the
jest
of
the
world
at
war.
The
plight
of
the
railways,
of-course,
does
not
change
the
situation
as
far
a3
the
Inability
of
such
parts
of
the
country
,
as
British
Columbia
io
iidd
increased
freight
rates
to
already
mounting
costs
of
production
and,
further
in
the
Jace,
of
existing
inequalities
In
regard
to
rates
is
concerned.
;
To
reconcile
the
financial
position
of
the
railways
with
ilie
ability
of
the
providers
of
traffic
to
pay
the
costs
Is
a
problem
similar
to
that
which
Exists,
in
many
other
situations

of

came
exactly
150
years
after
the
first

sitting
of
the
Supreme
Court
of
New

marked:
"Although
I

therefore

I
will
do
my
best
.to
ensure
that
the
ill
luck
shall
fall
upon
the
litigant
who
does
not
deserve
to

The
new
chief
justice
chuckled
as
he
recalled
how
he
left
school
at
the
age
of
14
to
earn
.
his
own
living,
how
his
first
employer
told
him
that
he
was
unsatisfactory
for
the
dry-goods
business,
and
how
he
was
dismissed
from
another
position
two
years
later
because
of
insubordination.

John
Babington
Macaulay
Baxter,
named
after
Lord
Macaulay,
was
frequently
asked
if
he
were
a
lineal
descendant
of
the
famous
historian.
Always
replying
in
the
negative,
he
once
remarked
that
"Lord
Macaulay's
reputation
is
all
the
better
because
I
am
not
his
grandson.
You
.see,
Lord
Macaulay
never
married."
One
of
liis
chief
interests-when
premier
of
New
Brunswick
was
the
furtherance
of
co-operation
between
the
three
Maritime
provinces,
and
he
believed
that
a
union
under
a
central
government
would
be
of
mutual
benefit.
One
suggestion
he
made
was
that
eastern
members
in
the
House
of
Commons
should
unite,
regardless
of
party
affiliations,
whenever
questions
concerning
the
Maritime
provinces
were
introduced.
