The
vital
and
little
known
part
played
by
Canada's
biggest
war
industry
the
railways
was
stressed
by
Major
Bond.
Among
and
that
democracies
never

at
1
the
points
brought
out
by
Major
Bond
was
that
Canadian

traffic
is
now
75
percent
higher
than
it
was
during
the
peak
year
of
the

of
1911-18
and
that
it
is
twice
as
large
as
the
total
volume
of

moved
in
the
year
1938.
Major
Bond
found
that,
although

now
larger
than
it
had
been
at
any
time
In
the
country's
history.
no

But
a
note

warning
was
sounded
when
he
added
that,
while
"we
have
so
far
been
able
to
maintain
the
high
standard
of
freight
service
established
prior
to
the
war,
naturally,
the
ever-increasing
production

and
supplies
will
place
heavier
burdens
upon

which
must
affect

essential

Other
essential
war
services
given
by
the
Canadian
railways
were
outlined
by
Major
Bond
when
he
said:
"The
