EVERYONE Optimistic Message of Sir Henry Thornton to People of Canada with Special Mention of Prince Rupei t MONTREAL, December ol. In addressing his annual message to the officers and employees of the Canadian National Railways, Sir Henry Thornton, chairman and president of the Canadian National, looks back upon the progress and success of 1927 as a reason for viewing the year in the immediate future with optimism. Sir Henry says: "Business ha expanded in proper proportion and the expansion has been well balanced. There has been progress without' inflation and the attendant evils of a boom. As the experiences of the country must seceisarily lie reflected in the experiences of he' .vjys which serve It.

Inasmuch, as It haa Increased the spendlhg power of thtse workers and added to the circulation of money In other tranches of trade and commerce. The Canadian Rational Railwaya have not contributed p largely to the public purse lu 1927 but have In other Important wages r'red in the general welfare of an Im portant section of the workers. In psst years the railway opened new territory for settlement and the agrlcultuial development which fellow cd, greatly Increased the wealth of Canada. Today the territory which has been rendered accessible through the railway Is now being exploited through developments In power, pulp and min ing, thus creating a new and growing market. IMMIGRATION INCULASCII "Coming to the question of Immigra tion during the year, a satisfactory etate of affairs ta reported by the colonization department of the railway. This is an extensive organization with branches In Oreat Britain and Ireland rnd the Continent ot Europe, and Ita overseas officials are In constant touch with all tho lands from which we expect to draw settlers. Last year, as In previous years greater efforts were made to effect the settlement of families, and I am happy to state that the number plved In 1927 exceeded that of 1925 by 402 per cent. This Is true colonl- ratlon. The need of greater population U yet apparent with developments In power, mining and Industry generally t Is possible that new demands will arise for men, and I feel that the ques tion ot admitting ta Canada settlers other than those seeking land Is one which should receive serious and stud- led attention.
