Get out a chart and figure out for yourself what the saving means on wheat via Panama to Liverpool on a crop we'll say of one hundred million bushels, Alberta's future share alone, leaving Saskatchewan and Manitoba crops to continue going to Liverpool by Fort William and Montreal.
And about those trinkets there they are yours. I did get them for some young friends of mine here, but I'll give them something else. I want you to have these.
