TREATMENT DISSATISFIES

Vancouver, Oct. 30.
The way Central Canada was treating the maritime provinces had forced him to ask himself whether New Brunswick would not be better off as a Dominion, said the New Brunswick Premier, Mr. J. M. Baxter, recently.
Approval of this comment was given in a resolution passed to-day by a council meeting of the St. Johns Board of Trade. A committee was appointed to interview Mr. Baxter regarding the recent adverse grain rates and other matters.
Mr. Baxter made the comment while attending a conference recently of civic officials with Mr. A. C. Dawson, president of Canadian Cotton, Ltd., in regard to the closing of one of the company’s mills. He said that while he had always been a strong supporter of the confederation the treatment Central Canada was meting out to the maritime provinces had forced him to ask himself whether “we would not be better off as a Dominion.”
