.Roosevelt Warns •
' War Will Be Long
President Roosevelt recently re-
iterated an opinion that the war
would be a long brie, 'and cau-
tioned against over-optimisni one
'week and over -pessimism the next.
The war; public opinion and tile
news go up and .down with things
that appear big at the moment,
he 'told a press conference, but
the 'more that can. be done to
prevent this, the better it is for
the war effort. -
• The fluctuations, he said, are:
caused by., a tendency toward:
over -statement on the part of the
American people.
"Do you thin* censorship should
pass some bad news?" he was
asked
"Yes," he replied, "as soon as
it does not affect military oper- •
--} uti'ons: There -•is only one reason
for withholding bad news and
that is that to release, it might.
create more bad news."
•
"Oh my, yes," heejaculated,
iA • in rely to an inquiry as to whe-
ther the ship -sinking situation was
not still "pretty 'serious".
Blind Men. Helping
In Plane Industry
Blind men, some of them blind-
ed 'in this war, ' are making good
on jobs in the British aircraft in-
dustry, it is• revealed in a British
journal, • Aeroplan!e.
• . So great is the concentration
of these men on their jobs, notes
Science Service, that they work
faster than men with sight,' it is
reported. The men were ern
ployed by Philips and Powis Airy •
craft, Limited, as an experiment.
New they are being• kept on he-
cause they 'ere doing really valu-
able work, and the employment
of the. blind is . recommended to"
Other aircraft' concerns.

Reaches 1928 Peak
Chief Problem Is Manpower
For The . Railroad
. The Canadian Pacific • Reihea-y
has reached the volume • peak of
1928, 'but its facilities are not
overtaxed and can handle consid-
-ernt ly" maxe�trsffi The move-
ment of war supplies to the Oa -
board will • be limited in scope
only by the bottleneck in trans-
shipyi»rig the goiele across . t•ne
ocean. A surplusof rolling stock
,built up in the pre -depression
years is now being utilized, but
--the aclue-f—Ce b-lerxt-as-nianpoWeee
"hili were e 0
vations made by D. C. Coleman
of Montreal, newly' chosen presi-
dent of the C.P.I. in a recent
interview. '
If the volume of "business con-
tinues to climb upward, bringing
about augmented train move-
ments', • the • manpower problem
will become sharp, Mr. Coleman;.
said, - when -asked what he con-
sidered was one of the chief prob-
lems confronting the railroad. He
did not thipk there would be
large-scale erhployment of women •
t•by the C.P.R... to offset the short-
, age of men: '
Surplus of Rolling' Stock
"We can handle more freight
traffic,',' he` said with a smile.
"We have the 'rolling -stock, 'and,
there is no shortage of locomo-
tives. We have a number on
order now. Before the outbreak
of war, we had a large surplus
of rolling stock avid we still have
some surplus leftf. It was the -re-
sult of the planning which all
busineese's must do.
"The volume of business is gov-
erned to some extent by sea trans-
portation," Mr. Coleman pointed '
out. • "The •bottleneck is whether
the supplies moved to the sea-
board by the railroads can be
moved ' from there. We haven't
got the storage facilities in . this
country that the United States
has, , and we are -moving goods
under a permit system which
takes into account the, movement
of goods overseas from the see -
board. Otherwise, we would have
been swanned long ago."
Mr. Coleman expresses) doubt
that the government would re-
-strict paksenger travel by rail-- to -
one hundred miles. , He 'said the
C.P.K. could handle increased
passenger traffic and would likely
do so in the event of bus travel
being sharply curtailed.
As fa:''':is air 3riel is concern-
ed, Mr. C,I•tee n sad the f eture
of air ' -aver a .d transport' was
not being overlooked by the rail-
roads.
• Post -War Readjustment
"We are operating many air
services at Vie present tinie and
• we hope to ithprovn them as time
goes on;" ' he said. "These air
services are not competitive'with
'the the Trans -Canada 'Airline's but act
as supplementary to existing ways
of transportation, At the pres-,
eat time we, are carrying freight
into the 8111i -Arctic regions and
• I
•
also taking in mining supplies to
distant points.". • • -
Tenks .are being built in the
' Arigus shops •in 'Montreal and;•
guns are being turned out at. the..
Ogden shops in Calgary. Mr.
Coleman said the C.P.R. also op-
erated three air• training schools,
two in the -West and one at Mal-
ton," No. 1 Air Observers' School.
These training , centres: are run
in conjunctionwith the Training •Pi,Common-

• He foresaw a trying per-
iod of readjustment in the po-"�'te

• fering of war, he stressed, "does
not end • with 'the signing of the'
