Sentiment, that intangible but highly important factor in business ! overy, has been decidedly more Busi- ness men no longer feel that the a black hole, but that they have taken the measure of the depression. Not that they are expectinz an early or easy recovery to normal, but simply that they have seen the worst.

There is no constructive criticism. There is nothing, save tire- some denunciation. As a matter of fact, the Tolmie ‘hlghw“_v plan will stimulate the whole North, |rather than |grams, and create a motor traffic with all that it impli where none exists today. Once upon a time, certain farseeing men undertook to link the Pacific as in Coast with Eastern Canada, with steel rails. The |idea, in some quarters, was called “impossible” and “a dream.” The line was built. It is known as the Canadian Pacific Railway.
