HUDSON BAY RAILWAY.
NATIONAL SENTIMENT IN
CANADA
A DELEGATE’S WARNING
(Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.)
OTTAWA, April 9,
A warning that there was danger of a breach between Eastern and Western Canada, unless conditions in the West were improved, was given to the Government by General R. Patterson (of Winnipeg), a member of a large delegation which urged the Government to immediately complete the Hudson Bay railway.
General Patterson stated that he had recently been told by a Westerner who was English to the backbone that if the West did' the best thing for itself it would join with the United States. Governors of the Western States had declared that they favored the construction of the railway.
Premier King, replying, said the greatest thing before Canada was the creation of national sentiment. He would consider the request.
