Bennett Won't Merge Rail Without Mandate
Prime Minister Bennett declared no amalgamation of Canada’s rail systems will occur under a Conservative government without a clear mandate from the people. He outlined plans for a transportation study by the economic council, and said if the report favored amalgamation it would be put to a general vote. He spoke on reducing farmers’ production costs, strengthening Confederation through aviation and broadcasting, and a national fuel hydro plan. He contrasted Reconstruction and CCF aims, warned against socialism, and cited trade figures to argue Liberal free trade harms, while noting Zionist Congress support for armed Jewish defense and Canada’s Arctic posts facing isolation with the Nascope returning from the north.
