IN the operation of railways Canadians hold high reputations. The chief Canadian systems are operated over great stretches of territory presenting widely different problems: �eir traffic obligations fluctuate rapidly with the seasons. Climatic conditions are sometimes difficult: Unusual foresight, skill and determination are called for. Yet the only unfailing highways for the heavy traffic across the New World from China to Franca during the war—were Canadian railways. - Canada alone among the allied countries had no war -time transportation crisis. When foreign roads choked under their load, she relieved them of millions of tons. At a tirne when ships were the need of the hour no ship lost time in any Canadian port through failure of the railways to delivercargoes at the docks. To -day t!" t Canadian producer still commands the fastest, the most dependable and the cheapest railway service in the world, But the foresight that made this record possible' could do nothing , without MoNEYI The skill that kept terminals uncongested had to be backed, with MONEYI The determination that drove crippled en- gines ahead in the face of 40 -below gales and mounting snow would in the long run have been useless without MONEY! y * * * Thus to -day the alarming fall in the net revepues of the railways4 is a menace to railway efficiency, It injures railway credit.
