The two countries have much in common and should be able to do a great deal toward keeping world peace; If they can agree to stop the disastrous civil war in Spain it will be worth a great deal. If the European powers can step in and take control of that country for a few years until it settles down once more and agrees to deal with internal . Spain has shown by her actions that she cannot govern herself. Alien interests have grown up, one pro-Marxian andthe other pro-hascist, one being the natural comple ment ot the other. Where one is found, the other is sure to develop. Imprisonment of Chang Hsueh Liang According to the news dispatches Chiang Kai-Shek was kidnapped by Marshal Chang Hsueh Liang. That is the prime minister and dictator was captured by one of his generals who, according to the story, tried to force him to make war upon Japan. After two weeks, at the close of which the dictator was visited by his wife and the Euro pean adviser of the government, W. H. Donald, who for thirty years has taken a leading part in Chinese politica life, the dictator was released and his captor followed him to Nanking in an airplane. The whole affair was sur rounded with mystery. General Chiang twice offered his resignation as leader of the government but each time it was refused Marshal Chang was then sentenced to lm prisonment for ten years. Most people who understand the Oriental mind do not think that the imprisnment of Marshal Chang means any more than did the rebuke of British Foreign Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare by Prime Minister Baldwin over the Ethiopian peace proposals for it will be remembered tha Sir Samuel was given another cabinet position almost im mediately. The probability is that the Chinese war lord is confined to a palace until the time is auspicious for him to again take charge of the leftist forces of China and am the government in an attempt to drive Japan out o China. At any rate he is not pining away in a dungeon. In connection with Chinese names it must be remembered that the family name is always given first. So we sav Prime Minister "Chiang" and not Prime Minister "Shek." Also the marshal who is supposed to be suffering punishment is Marshal "Chang" and not Marshal "Liang." A few Prince Runert Chinese have adopted the English; method such as Tom Lee. In Chinese this should be Lee Tom., 1 Since the above was written word has been received- that tlie young marshal has been released. j I RAILWAYS, AFTER LONG DULL PERIOD, ARE NOW STARTING TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT. (Continued irom Pane 1 1 mrtit and recourse was ftad to a board of conciliation under the Industrial Disputes Act, -which has not yet rendered its decision. Continued Improvement From an operating standpoint the year 1936 witnessed a contln- 1 ued improvement in operating per formance indicative of the ability of the railway to carry Increased traffic economically. The year, however, was marked with extreme difficulties due to severe winter conditions and flood damage. The damage through floods was altogether exceptional. Many miles of line in British Columbia were out of service for a considerable period and required extensive rehabilitation while in Eastern Canada the most serious damage was the loss of the' Fredericton Bridge over the St. John River. Throughout the year the problem of competition with other forms of transport received earnest consideration, but it is becoming increasingly evident that, until such time as the competitive situation receives some adequate form of treatment by governmental authorities to place competition on an even footing, railways must continue to bear an undue burden from uneconomic competition. The continued wastage Is deplored. The benefits to the few are more than offset by the economic waste which is borne by the community at large. It is a situation which the railways alone cannot hope to solve and Is one which urgently calls for attention. During the year the company took delivery of the equipment ordered under authority of the Sup plementary Public Works Construction Act, 1935, consisting of the following: Five locomotives Northern type. 61 00 class. Five locomotives Northern type, 6400 class. Five locomotives Mikado type, 3800 class. Two hundred and fifty gondola cars. Four hundred automobile cars. Eighty sand cars. Four hundred and fifty refrlger ator cars. Eight snow plows. The stream-lined passenger lo comotives of the 6400 class have proved to be very satisfactory In service, being both reliable and conomical. Apart from these equipment purchases, expenditures on capital account have been al most entirely limited to those es sential for safety in operation. Construction Proceeding Construction Is proceeding on the extension of the line from Nor- anda to Senneterre through the mining section of Northwestern Quebec. This territory is respond ing to mining development to a gratifying extent. It is one of the bright prospects of the Canadian National Railways that so much of the mining territory Is contiguous to its lines. TKe board of directors which re placed the board of trustees for the management and direction of the Canadian National Railways took office on October 1. and It Is my pleasure as president and chairman of the board to record the earnest ness with which the board is deal ing with the various problems of the railway. For the fifth successive year the necessary cash required to meet the income requirements of the system will be reduced. Canada is, unquestionably entering the se cond phase of recovery from the depression and the country may look forward with confidence to recovery in all lines of trade. The improved general outlook may be regarded with restrained optimism. HOCKEY SCORES FRIDAY Pacific Coast League Portland 3, Oakland 3 die), Vancouver 3, Seattle 2.
