Bennett Seeks Clear Mandate On Rail Amalgamation
Premier Bennett told a Toronto audience that railway system amalgamation under private or public ownership would not occur under a Conservative regime without a definite mandate from the people. He outlined a program including a nationwide transport study by the Economic Council, civil aviation improvements, national broadcasting plans, and a national fuel and hydro policy. He contrasted Conservative aims with the Reconstruction party led by H. H. Stevens and criticized the Co-operation Commonwealth Federation as socialist. He warned Liberal free trade policies would drain Canada’s jobs and cited trade shares from 1929 to 1934. The railways question hinges on a full transportation system review including highways and air traffic.
