C.N.R. Debt Problem
One of the problems facing every
Canadian is the operation of the
Canadian National Railway. True,
each Canadian cannot be expected to
be concerned personally with its op-
eration. But at the same time, the
extent to which it can meet its obli-
gations and the service it renders are
matters which should interest every-
one. If the railway loses money it is
the taxpayers who are called on to
make up the shortage.
For this reason a recent speech by
Mr. Donald Gordon, President of the
National Railways, is of special in-
terest. Speaking in Winnipeg, Mr.
Gordon answered the question: Why
should the interest-bearing debt of
the National Railways be t'dice?
He avoided figures, emphasizing the
• effect of the present unfaiNlebt bur-
den on the railway's employees and.
management.,
Be said:
"FirstlY. •!..,':71.Ce the railway is pub-
* 1,7operty, the public is entitled to
receive a report on its annual opera-
tions in a form comprehensible to all.
Only by this means can the public
form an opinion of the soundness of
the railway's management and the
value ---Of the property. But because
of the intricate nature of the finan-
cial structure and the complexities of
the operating disabilities, present
circumstances make the preparation
of such a report impossible. There-
fore, the average uninformed citizen
is merely confused. He is unable to
analyze or understand the true pic-
ture. The result is that the magni-
tude of the deficit continues to over-
shadow all other considerations.
"Everywhere, therefore, the view
is held that the Railway is one that
cannot be operated at a profit. While
informed opinion, understanding the
situation, makes due allowances, it is
uneasy when, as is inescapable under
existing circumstances, the deficits
are large. Uninformed opinion; re7
presenting the mass of the thinking,
makes no allowances at all and lays
the blame on management and not on
the real causes.
"Secondly; it is inevitable that
these factors, singly and in combina-
tion, should be injurious to the mor-
ale of those, officers and employees
alike, who are responsible for the
Company's administration and oper-
ation. That the personnel has been
able to withstand these debilitating
influences and maintain a high mor-
ale, is a tribute to their intelligence
and their powers of perseverance.
But it cannot be denied that the ef-
fects are being felt. This is under-
standable. It is impossible for men
of spirit and enterprise, in any walk
of life, to endure a state of phychol-
ogical servitude brought on by a fal-
lacy, without in the end being affect-
ed by it.
"The responsibilities of railroading
are immense and they are exacting.
To be done properly, the job requires
every man's full attention, his full
thought and his full effort. It fol-
lows, therefore, that if in addition to
houldering the normal load of busi-
it Os, the management and workers
f the. Canadian National must also

the management's ,ability measura-
bly to reduce, will certainly result in
destroying incentive. It is the nature
of man to desire to work with and
for a successful enterprise.
"The present financial structure of
the Canadian National Railways is
not only unWielcik and confusing but
it throws a false light upon the op-
erations of the system and obscures
its true value to Canada. This con-
dition is greatly aggravated by the
lossesattendant on the operation of
the lines in the national interest.
Explanations are too readily inter-
preted as excuses and the public is
either suspicious or intolerant of
them.
"It is necessary that the public
should understand that the Canadian
National is not only a business en-
terprise, but, equally important, an
instrument of national policy in the
execution of which it is expected to
operate extensive mileage and other
facilities which are not and cannot be
profitable by ordinary standards of
business. To this end, clarification
of its position to the point where its,
annual results will provide an under-
standable yardstick by which the
public can measure its operating ef-
ficiency, is essential."

,That attack on the Reeve of :Glen-
coe by an irate citizen w1.19
like the increase in the municipal tax
rate is further evidence of what
abuse and criticism public servants •
undergo. And it's the ones in small-

The Tried and True
(By George Matthew Adamb
in The London Free Press)
We live in a restless age. Too
greedy, too much in a hurry, too at-
tached to materialism, and too far
away from the tried and true. I am
reminded of a wonderful letter that
Charles Lamb sent to his friend,
Henry Crabb Robinson, in which he
described the passing of an old
friend. "To the last he called me ,
Charley. I have none to call me
Charley now." And then he went on
to comment: "In him seem to have
died the old plainness of manners
and singleness of heart."
We, who have lived out a full ex-
perience, can well understand .the
feeling of this friend for another, -
for we, too, have had a like experi-
ence. The tried and true, whom we
have known and loved, are of the
substance of ourselves, so that we,
too, die a little when they are 'no
longer of this world a part.
I engaged a carpenter to make a
new railing around the sun porch of
my home, recently. His estimate was
a third higher than the others, but
when he talked to me in his quiet, -
sincere manner I knew that he would
do a fine job, and he did. The least
detail was sound and beautifully exe-
cuted. He put himself into the work
he did, and so I think of him every
time that I look upon that railing.
Be was the tried and true type of
workman.
Why do we not look upon this -
"plainness of manners and singleness
of heart" in the selecting of all of our
friends? They are the only kind that
last and upon whom we can depend
to the very end.
One of my fa ori short stories is
that one by Johri•eValsworthy, called
"Quality." It was about a man who
made good boots, so good that they
never wore out! And so his business
declined, and people who made boots
• that wore out soon, got the work. But
people who bought the quality boots
remembered and revered the man
who made them!
- Our forefathers lived simply,
worked hard, and put a solid founda-
tion under our free way of life. They
had none of the endless comforts
that we today enjoy. They were the
tried and true, and they left a heti.
tage that all of us should honor—

which swarmed the. docks. All

visitors with the greatest courtesy.
The great hustle of loading then
