THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN .

MONTREAL, May 4 — (GP) — Net earnings of the Canadian Pacific Railway from railway oper- ations in i948 - at $18,400,000 -- were the lowest of any year since i905, C. P. R. shareholders were told today at their 68th annual meeting.

This condition prevailed, said company president W. A. Mather, despite the highest gross earnings in the railways history. He re- marked the state of net earnings caused “grave anxiety" to company directors. Shareholders must have "equal concern."

Mr. Mather noted Canada today is in a period of expansion He term- it "similar in some respects to that which occurred in the early 1900s." But, he said, prolonged op- position to freight-rate increases and resulting delay in obtaining adequate revenue increases forced restriction of desirable capital ex- penditures for railway modern- ization aimed at increased railway efficiency.

Nor could the company, at a time of poor net returns, embark on projects in anticipation of Canada's additional settlement and growth.

"In the past our company was justified in eminrkixtz on such ventures, confident that the earn- ings from its rail properities would be sufficient to carry the obligat- ion and risk involved until adequate traffic developed," Mr. Mather told shareholders.

The Board of Transport Com- missioners on March 30, i948, when railways were granted an increase

2i per cent in freight rates, found that an earning power o! $62,332,000 for the C P. R. was reasonable. Net eamings for i948 were little more than one-third of this. '

He warned there could be no as- sumption that C. P. R. income from ‘- other than rail operations meant. ihere is no need to trouble about< rail operations eamings

"Had ‘other income’ in i948 been

no more than the average of the 15-year period, 1933-47, your total

, income would have been insutficlent to warrant the pey- ment of e. dividend on tho ordinary stock," Mr. Mather said.

"Other income" is derived principally from eteamships, hotels and the company interst in the I‘ oiidated Mining and Bmel“ Company.

Had any of the company's out- side undertakings suffered losses. Mr. Mather said "no one would entertain for e moment the idea that compensation should be pro- vided by increased might rates."

Mr. Mather noted the C. P. R. possessed parliamentary authority to increase its ordinary stock from $330,000,000 to $500,000,000 but such an increase was impossible because of the discount at which the stock is bought and sold in the open market.

For the first quarter of 1949 gross earnings were 10.3 per cent or 8'1,- 999,9l0.higher than those in the same period oi’ i948. But this was more than offset by increased ex- penses, including higher wages.

Values Of Banned Food Analyzed.

NEW YORK, May 4 —- (C?) — Some new kitchen tables show the housewife a way to help her fam- ily to health.

These tables aren't the kind you sit at. They are charts showing, for the first Lima on a national scale, the food val-ues in £2 cem- mon canned foods. They tell how much a can of peas, beans, spri- oots, orange Juice, or kraut con- tains in calories. vitsmzirls, pro- teins, carbohydrates, fats and min- erais.

One finding is that you should drink or use the liquids in s. can of solid foods. The liquid contains from 20 to 5R per cent of the vit- amins in that food. ~_

The charts are based on tind- ings in research on 50,000 cans or food at nine leading universities. ‘I13; study has been under _wuy for six years, and is continuing. It is sponsored by the National Can- ners Association and the Gan Manufacturers Institute. The can- ned foods were taken from regu- lar production, including early- season, mid-season and end-of- season items in each category.

itiane, homemakers and military officials plan meals for a balanc- ed diet that will meet daily needs for vitcm-ins, proteins, minerals and other nutrients.

‘me tee-ts show that canned foods kwp a high ratio of the . vitamins, minerals and calories of Chg natural foods, said Dr. EJ. Cameron. research director of the association.

0f the 4B most-used foods test- ed, the richest in vitamin C are red sweet peppers and pimientoa. Next are orange fnlit juice end grapefruit Juice, then turnip greens. tomatoes, sweet potatoes and sauerkraut. Th, best in vita- min A are carrots, sweet potatoes. spinach, turnip, greens and apri- Ots. Peas are the richest source of vitamin Bl, or thiamin. Corn gives the most niacin, the anti- peliagra vitamin. Mushrooms are richest in riboflavin, vitamin 3-2.

The tests show that 52 per cent of tin, vitamin 0 in a can of white whole kernel corn is in the liquid portion. The juice in a can of green asparagus contains as per cent of the vitamin B-l in the whole can.
