INCREASING

Sir

Thinks
Canadians
"Keen
for
War,"
Commissioner
of
Railroads
An
expansion
of
railway'
equipment
in
the
subcontinent
of
India
is
a
vital
requirement
for
speedy
prosecution
of
the
war
in
that
part
of
the
Far
East,
the
Daily
News
was
told
Friday
by
Sir
Leonard
Wilson,
chief
commissioner
for
the
railways
of
India.
Sir
Leonard,
who
left
for
Vancouver
last
night
after
spending
the
day
in
Prince
Rupert,
said
that,
while
India's
transport
system
was
adequate
for
the
country's
peacetime
needs,
the
increasing
tempo
of
war
had
created
stresses
that
could
be
relieved
only
by
more
rolling
stock
and
maintenance
equipment.
-
"That
is
why
I
have
spent
the
last
two
months
In
the
United
States
and
Canada,''
he
volunteered.
"I
have
been
ln

and

and
came

They
also
met
other
local
railway
officials.
Remembering
the
variation
of
latitudes
between
India
and
Prince
Rupert,
the
slender,
moustached
baronet
expressed
surprise
at
the
mildness
or
the
climate
here.
"It
was
enlightening
to
learn
that
