Higher Railway Earnings

From Montreal yesterday came the attnouncc- meat that gross revenues of the Canadian Na-j tional Railways for the week ending July 21, 1940, werg $4,907,208 as compared with $3,53§,- 886 for the corrcspoiiditig week of I939, an in- crease of $1,370,522 or 38.7 percent. Previous ltatementii, covering weekly and monthly re- venues, indicntcd stt:i(lil_y' increasing business,

The min-mt giﬂlflilg ruilway earnings are it welcome relic-i to the depressed figures of the past decade, remarks a writer in Canadian Busi-

ness, who speculates on whether or not the im- I

Pretty good, for one navYI

Much of the work of the Navy is, 0f MC"- sity, secret. Warships patrol the seas endlessly day and night, exerting the silent pressure be- fore which the enemy is impotent. The NFWYP eternal vigilance occasionally is rewarded by the contact and action with an enemy force, but mostly it is routine work. Spectacular German successes on land cannot affect the status and power of that navy or its influence on the course of the war, and that is a great truth which seems to be impressing itself upon even Hitler and Mussolini.

Crop Prospects

An average potato crop and a. good harvest is indicated for the Maritime Provinces in the latest Crop Report of the Bank of Montreal. In Nova Scotia. and New Brunswick prospects for a bumper apple crop are good, and in Prince Edward Island grains continue to show rapid growth and a heavy hay crop is now being. har- vested. In the wheat growing Prairie Provinces, moisture conditions are generally satisfactory in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. while in Alberta. rain is needed in the southern section. Slight damage from hail is reported by all Provinces, but indications are that the wheat crop will be heavy. Only in Quebec are the fruit, root, and grain crops below average, while despite some damage from hail in Ontario, a. normal agricul- tural production is in prospect.

Replying to a protest against the tincking of two Communists in Rice Lake on Szttttrilityt night, Governorl-Icil said at Milwaukee he was “real proud" to see that we have “some good red-blooded citizens up there.” The (iiovernor said he hoped that Communists "no titatter where they go, get the same kind of a recep- tion they got at Rice Lake.”

Minister of Information, has caused the editors of 13,000 parish publications to be seriously worried against publishing information which might be found to be useful to the enemy. The warning caused a representative of the Sunday Times of London to seek out Mr, Townroe, director of censorship, who had issued the warning. "A parish magazine in the north of England told the story of Allied troops eating 10,563 buns at the local church can- teen," explained Mr. Townroe. “The article spoke of the Allied troops’ enjoyment of the buns, and hoped that as good buns ivouitl be given them at the embarkation port ——which was mentioned-whence they were shortly to leave," w s :- u-

I - igxect 1n which he took pleasure was bulldltuz up a. home and sur- ‘routicllng it with beauty. _He loved the soil and nature and all therein. What did he care for the city, with its amusements and pleasures? His pleasure was 1n building a home. in making the desert blosom as a awe. Here he could en "oy comfort. and m the evening, by is fireside. Smoke his pipe in peace.

In pere rinattotis doln8 "115" slonary wor in the West. we mane acquaintance with an English lam. ily. Tliev had pre-emuted a quar- ter section of land. This English- man told me of the hardships he endured lniulimz his grain to the elevator which was about one hun- dred miles distant. He was obliged in going and returning to sleep out on the prairie ivith no protection from the weather, which was often very inclement. He told me about his tielghbors, two strong and fine Caitadlans, who both succumbed un- der their hardships. He said he would also have gone unless he had a mother and sisters to care for him.

But wh_v had these men to settle s0 far afield? Because they had no menus to buy and from the com- panics who held large blocks of mid, viz: CPR. and H.B., but more especially the real estate com- panleg in Toronto, who had bought up large blocks of land for Xpecula- tlon. That was an injustice. nd ltfs injustice, real or imaginary, ivliich invites Communists and other troubles? Strange how little ac- count is tttkett at the poor man.

Why not expropriate the lands held by these companies. and throw them open for settlement?
