CPR Policy Offers Farmers Longer Debt Relief
A Canadian Pacific Railway policy aims to relieve Western farmers behind on payments by canceling existing agreements and replacing them with new terms over thirty four years. The plan, endorsed by President Beatty, emphasizes contented settlers and predicts guaranteed payments that never exceed 71 percent of the land price in any year, with eventual title transfer. The piece also praises cooperative marketing, reciprocal talks with the United States, and argues immigration and labor policies shape Western growth, urging broader settlement to fuel development.
