Even than the occupation army had ex- perienced periodic turnovers which had reduced it far below occupa- tion levels. The new trend now seems to have been definitely fixed by Btstc Secretary Acheson‘s declaration to the National Press Club in Wash- ington last week that the United States would defend Japan and the Philippines against attack. Such pledges had been assumed or ob- liquely stated by other officials, but they had not previously been voiced so plainly or officially. The assurance evidently has given new confidence both to; the Filipinos and the Japanese. It also has provided a new official imll- slon for American forces in Asia. Until now the officially-stated mission of the ground forces in Japan was to run the occupation. The Air Force and Navy were charged with supporting and pro- tecting the army.

Railways Show Deficit By EDWIN SHAblKE LONDON. Jan. l7 (AP) Britain's nationalized railway sys- tem went £9,000,000 ($27,900,000) into the red in 1948. Last year when Alfred Barnes. Minister of Transport. announced an estimated loss of £20,000.000 and asked for a l6 2 /3-per ccrit. increase in freight rates. a. shudder ran through the country. The over-all financial picture for the entire nationalized trans- port -- long distance trucking, canals, docks and railway hotels - wasn't nearly as bad as for rall- ways alone, but the losses since nationalization caused every Brit- on to ask: What's wrong with the railways? "The railways are doing the same job today that they always did," said a British transport cx- "It isn't natlonaiizaztion story of dropplng revenue and far higher operating costs. We're Spending 2H- tlmcs as much as 1n pro-war on rolling stock just to make up war losses. Two-thirds of the total operating expenditure tl for wages which also are higher." The state took over 52,000 miles of railways, more than 2.000 miles of canals, the country's harbor systems, thousands of’ miles of bus. tram and road-haulage network Jan. 1, 1948. It cost 21.000.000.000 in compensation. The public and the workers were led to expect an immediate im- provement in running efficiency. The public, especially, expected cheaper fares. The worker thought he would have a. greater say in in. But there isn't any: This is a business corporation operating on commercial lines which has to pay its way. "Fares and freight rates have risen 55 per cent over those of 1039 but the price of major commodit- ies used by the railways in most cases has risen by more than 100 P" cent . . ." Despite such sensible explana- tions. the public is impatient. Record Aliendance Al Chorus Practice There was a record attendance at the regular weekly practise of the Charlottetown Mule Chorus last evening which was held in the banquet hall of the Y.M.C.A. with Mr. Stan Lancaster directing and Miss Louise Cox at the piano. It was announced that arrange- ments for a concert 2n February have been completed, It will be held in the P.W.C. auditorium. A highlight of’ the evening's practice was recordings made by Gordon White and when played a district for e suggested that a _v might be worthl’ bulll l l l iiousiuog uouun Continued’ from page 1 _ only so long as fresh dollars kec coming in. A lot of the fresh dollars coming in are the same old dollars you paid out, coming back after they have circulated through the hands of the builders, carpenters, plast- crers and scores of other businesses nd trades. ‘ However, fortunately for Canad- ians, there are a lot of really fresh dollars coming in are spent for and in developing great new natural resources, such as oil, iron ore, power and so forth. These probably are the thin kcep renewing what MrflMansur calls “that feeling of confidence that comes from every one work- ing and earning enough for a good livelihood." Mr. Mansiir had some things, or mostly good, to say about‘ housing prospects: For 1949 Canada will show morcI new houses completed in relation to its population than any other. country; and residential construc- __ l 1 of 3000. gs thahafford to buy houses good? gave the chorus an idea of how they will sound to future audien- ccs and also a chance to correct any faults, Miss Cox has opened hcr stud- io to any of flln members who wish to brush up on their parts on Thursday evenings. The chorus appreciate this vcry much and any who have no other engagement on that night. will be on hand to take advantage of the extra prac- ticcs. tion in 1960 will probably be about as grout. The cost of a. house to tlic ltome- owner has not increased alpprec- lably over the last year. And lic had this to say about — H1050 that» prices and incomes: "We hear a lot about high build- ing costs, usually coupled with the statement that individuals cannot at today's cost level.

Referring to the new policy on cream grading, permitting only No. 1 grade cream to be manufactured in Island creamerles, Mr. Shaw said check tests for yeast and mould were conducted at the Pro- vincial Laboratory and close sup- ervision was made in cheese fact- ories and creamerles. Substantial assistance was also given in mar- keting the product. In poultry, a bonus of one dol- lar has been paid on approved cockerels, to the extent of’ $462.10. A bonus has also been paid on stoves in approved brooder houses 11p t0 a maximum of $12, or a total of $770.51. Collection of blood sam. pics has been carried on in con- junction with the Federal Depart- ment and the samples have been tested at the Provincial agricultur- al laboratory.
