TORONTO, Ont., Feb. I0.-—-Can- adlan railway freight business would bu greatly improved if Canadians utilized their facilities, Col. E. C. Phlnney, President of the Halifax Harbour Commission stated today in an address before the Toronto Transportation Club. “When the Empire Congress meets in Canada to discuss Empire trade. I hope that this question will be given serious consideration,‘ Col. Phlnney said.

He described Halifax harbor as second to none in the world. “There are facilities for the docking of six- teen ocean liners. We can accom- modate the blggest ships in the world, even ii they build them with a 60-foot draught," he declared.

“The port of Halifax ls yours just as much as it is ours. and we want you whenever it is possible to use lt." He said strenuous efforts had been made by the Harbor Commis- sloners to increase traffic at that port and aa a. result the tonnase for January of this year was hlshvl‘ than that of the same month of the previous year.

col. Phlnney made a special trip from Halifax to attend today‘! luncheon. His subpect was "An ail- Canadlan traffic policy!‘

That word was brought back to Japanese head- quarters, and soon the big push was under way. The ca, command rushed men, tanks, machine guns and field pieces toward the front in vast quantities.

The troop preparation had been going on all night long, but until the big guns spoke at 8.50 o'clock the battle zone had been compar- atively quiet. Only a burst of ma- chine gun fire now and again told of warfare. After the big Japanese guns had started their streams of projectiles toward Chapel, ' head- quarters ordered up ten huge bombing planes. each of them car- ryIng a full load of explosives.
