Mr Coates said the Government was out to give encouragement to country settlers and an assurance to those settlers that their conditions would be made better than they were at present. He wanted the Railway Board to take the view thSit the country settler was just as essential a unit to' the railways as the city dwellcr was. There was no reason why all the motor services of the country districts should not be linked up with the railways. Those services could be utilised in providing fitting adjuncts to the railrvay.
