Excerpts trim a review of the year 1950 by Donald Goa-don, CM. i 0., LL.D., chairman and Preal-f dent of the Canadian National; Railways: u

"The year just closing has been one of almost constant tension in world affairs find 195! bids fair to be a year of continuing anxiety. We cannot afford to relax in the hope that conditions will improve. It is a tragic thing that. after centuries of what we fondly call civilization, mankind should still be so immature that we scarcely know from one day to another when we shall again have to yield to what seems to be a recurrent desire to cut each othcr's throats. But we must face facts and smile we hope for the best and work for it through such organizations as the United Nations, we must pre- pare for the worst.

"The Canadian economy, like thst of other countries in the western world. is being geared to the defence programme. In four years, expenditures have risen from 3196 millions to more than slim millions per annum and we know that the end is not in sight. As some types of controls are re- viewed and we hear warnings of the need for increased taxation. the Canadian people are realizing that we are moving into something like an emergency atmosphere.

Our defence preparations cannot be paid for out of ordinary in- come. Extraordlnary provision must be made for extraordinary expenditure. Heavy contributions will be demanded of all of us and these contributions the Canadian people should make gladly. know- ing. as they have always known, that no price is too great to pay for freedom.

when Canada entered the war in i939 the railways shouldered a burden of work much greater than they were prepared for. Years of depression had weakened them: they were short of skilled man- power. equipment and materials. and as the war progressed some of these shortages became acute. Yet. because they were funda- mentally sound. and managed and manned by men who realized how vital they were to the nation. they . were able to do the biggest job of their history and one of thel most important jobs of the wan: The Canadian people realized that! without them it would have been impossible to move the troops and ; the prcducm of field and facwrlli to where they were needed, and to move them expeditiously.

After the war. as an essential factor in ilha rapid and wide- spread development of the country. the railways continued to trans- port freight in tremendous vol- ume snd the work they did was reflected in their gross revenues. However. costs of wages and mat- erlals continued to rise. The rail- ways were forced to ask for in- creased compensation to otfseg in some measure their increased ex- penses. but their efforts to put themselves on a footing compar- able with the rest of industry met with determined opposition.

It is not my intention to review the freight rates case. The relief granted in 1948 and 1949 fell short of meeting requirements. Cost.-. continued to rise and the Ca-mdlln National. also burdened by ex- cessive fixed charges due to an unrealistic capital structure. shaw- ed I deficit of up and 2 halt ml!- llon in 1948. This increased to 542 millions in 1949.

The situation improved in 1950- Heavier freight I-raffle lnd 1'l'9lKl1F rate increases. granted the rail wgvs in March and June have im- proved the gross revenues of the National system for the year. It is estimated may will exceed 55-50 millions and the indications are that this may be the Urea-k-evm point for this year. However. large and immediate expenditures are confronting us for equipment Ind maintenance as well as substantial increases in the cost of labor and materials so that it would be mis- lending to assume that the 1950 results are typical or that the need for some relief from the burden of excessive fixed chi-rse-5 has become 18.35 370.19-

Canadian National passsnsgeri earnings in 1950 will show a de-l crease of approximately 10 per cent. This is attributable not only to the levelling off of passenger traffic. but to the curtailment of service for two months at the be- ginning of the year owing to a fuel shortage, to the work stoppage in, August and to the Manitoba flood.- Whlle it was of substantial propor-' tions, tourist and convention traf-.

Earnings of the Canadian National (West Indies) steamshlps were reduced owing to the tightening of import restrict- ions in the West. indies and reduc- ed rates on flour snd.sngar; pas- senger revenues increased by about 10 Der cent.

The general price index shows an increase of 2.4 per cent in the prices of materials and supplies purchased by the railway in 1.950. The average post of rail increased 5.7 per cent over 1949; iron and steel products, 4 per cent; lumber. 20.9 per cent. The cost of loco- motive coal rose by 1.7 per cent.

ML Justice R. L Kellock of the Supreme Court will add. over 515,. 000.0(1) to the -Canadian National annual payroll. and when applied to all employees on the railway it will amount to more than 818.000.- 000 annually. It is not possible yet to establish the actual cost of the 40-hour week. but it is certain to add many more millions to the an- nual payroll.
