Baxter, when he questioned the advisability of New Brunswick remaining within the Confederation of Canada under the ' present situation arising out of the attitude taken toward the Maritime Provinces by Upper Canada, was given in a resolution passed on Thursday by a council meeting of the Board of Trade. A committee was appointed to interview Mr. Baxter regarding the recent adverse grain rates decision and other matters.
Mr. Baxter, attending a conference recently of civic officials with Mr. A. C. Dawson, president of Canadian Cotton, Limited, in regard to the closing of one of the company’s mills, said that, while he had always been a strong supporter of Confederation, the treatment Central Canada ivas meting out to the Maritime Provinces' had forced him to ask himself whether “we are not better out of the Dominion.”
