In 1902 the (e. P. 12, by the mos'eindnt of 411,607 ton miles per miles of line, and 69,133 passenger nriles'per anile of line were able to olierete et a latloaf 63,97 per cent, and moved its freight traffic in average train roads of 234 tons. The Cnnaditt,t Northern System reached this freight density in 1920 and handled its freight traf. fie in 353 ton train loads. Changed conditions—higher wages to em- ployees OKI higher cost of material —however note require a much greater density of traffic to enable a railway tobperate even at 100 per cent, whfeh means Just meeting les operating expenses. The C, P. R's freight density between 1009 and 1919 showed nit excepli0nallly heavy growth -and tilts has , given that system's favorable ' showing, increase its average train load great- ly, which has had melt to do with that Sj'stem' s :fav'orable showing. density Ir 1919 the C. P. R„ with a of 840,94 ton miles per mile of line had an advantage aver the Canadian Northern in freight traf- fic' of nearly 80 per tent, and in sohihe previous ' year, 'this'"advantage has even been granter. e It is: remarkable to note ,that since June 30,1'913, the end of the first year for which a system re- port was prepared, and which was prior to the opening of .the Trans- continental main line morn than 2,- 500 miles of line ,have been ab- sorbed into the system, this new mileage including the Pacific Coast extension, and the connection be- tween the Eastern and Western sections 'of the system, forming part' of the transcontinenal line refer- red to; it represents an increase of 33 1-3 per cent, and yet the density of freight traffic measured by the revenue tons carried one mile per mile of road has increased. from 295,827 tons to 489,516 tons, an increase of 65.47 per cent, and the density of passenger traffic, meas- ured by the number of passengers carried one mile per Zine of line has increased from 2S,486 to 400,- 139, an increase of 40.91 per cent. This volume of traffic if handled at pre-war train mile costs and at pre-war freight and passenger rates would have given the system sub- stantial net earnings Frohn ' these sources alone, and with express, mail and miscellaneous earnings, the amount would have covered practically all tine system's fixed charges. It is only right to point out to Canadians the position of Many large United States railroads that could not stand comparison with the C. P. R. -- Co-Ordination Projected as a privately owned line the Canadian 'Northern looked forward to reaching a position of financial security when it should obtain traffic of a comparable den- sity to that of the 'C, P. R. Density of traffic as a tecnical railway phrase is a measure of traffic volume and is obtained by first obtaining the total number of tons moved one .mile in a year, and die viding this by the mi'es of road operated, giving a result which is. the number of ton miles moved per a' ° .itN,1: ca.4 +1^?t tt , el th = yam= •_"`" \�.t.1 %' • i „4 r`J i '7 ,Jy'C'-•TJ-//(•av ()5 r'• ' ' �,a�'-'.nip,."• t tni : , 66P HAT'S it, right there on that bicycle.

"If .. the hanger develops those mean `tight and loose' spots, it means more friction and less power. . "But the `Triplex' was de- signed and is built to overcome those faults: "It is made of such fine: steel and to such close limits of ac- curacy that it always runs smoothly. It makes your bi- .cycle run so easily you'd think you were riding down grade:" "It takes a lot more time and 9 99 better workmanship to con- struct such an accurate han- ger." "Well, well! I never thought a crank hanger was so import- ant. I see now that it is really just as im- portant to have a good crank hanger on a bicycle as a good engine in a car.9fl "That's right. The `Triplex' is sure some power plant. "Were you thinking of buy- ing a new bike, Charlie?" "Yes, was thinking 'some- thing about it, Ed. You know I bought a cheap one against your advice last year and I'm sick of pushing the old cart along. Besides, it's always wanting repairs." "What you need is one of those new, C. C. M. Bicycles.

Look for the -•above sign. 21 151 r Among the. favorable factors that loom up in connection with tie aumganation of the Grand Trunk into the Canadian National System is the supplying of U. S. railway connections for the national Sys- tem in which, as pointed out, the 'C. P. R., has had previously a marked superiority over the C. N. R. The Grand Trunk receives a much greater tonnage from U. S. railways than the C. P. R,. does. The Grand Trunk will also supply in a large measure the proportion of high class freight that is badly needed by the National System and on which a long haul should enable it to pay some of its interest charges. It has a fine tonnage in merchan- dise and manufactured goods. The Grand Trunk provides in many re- spects what the National System previously lacked and only a rea- sonable time to allow normal peace -time development is required to give the National System all the tonnage repaired to produce earn- ings sufficent to cover its annual expenditures. Any one who does not believe that Canada cannot produce the traffic should move to another country, and anyone who thinks that Canada cannot produce men to administer honestly and capably the great railway properties that the Dominion government has ac- quired levels a criticism at the character of her citizenship that should be resented. C 'ada is not trying to create a government- owned transportation monopoly, but proposes to protect her invest- ments and those of the provinces, in a commonsense way, by the op- eration of the great railway system as a corporation would operate it for business profits, and without political interference. The problem in other countries has not been to get men in politics who are states- men, and who at the sacrifice of some temporary political advan- tage will keep their hands off the railways. Canada in this respect is breaking a new trail and if the present condition s is continued as to no political interference the Canadian National Railway System is one of Canada's most valuable assets. Of course it is quite possible for a railway to take a portion of its revenue ' and apply it to items 5, 6 and ,, 7, which should really be de- voted to items 3 and 4, bot such a policy cannot be maintained for any duration.

They inaugurate a policy which will have in Hind the future welfare of the Philip- pine islands and the latter's relations to Far East questions, with which they are inseparably' linked. In order to best carry out such a policy, it is believed that President Harding will Insist on team work on the part of the American representatives in China and Japan and the Governor General of the Philippines, who, it is hoped will coordinate in their admin- istrations for the protection of Ameri- can interests.
