CANADA OWS RIG DEBT TO RAILWAYS Large Gathering Hears C. N.R. President At Rail. way Club Dinner ------------ Montreal, Feb. 4.--No country ii the world owes more to its railroads than Canada does, stated Sir Henry Thornton, president of the Canadian National Railways, speaking at the annual dinner of the Ca-n adian Railway Club, at the Windsor Hotel. The event was at- tended by between six and seven hundred persons, railwaymen anu railway supply men, Among tne guests were a number of officials of transportation systems from . dis- tant points in Canada and the Unit- ed States. . "This is a happy gathering and « fortunate occasion,' said Sir Henry "in that we have here representa- tives of the great railway systems of the continent, representatives of orranized labor to whom we of the railway profession.owe so much, and gentlemen in the business of supplying the railroads with cer- tain devices whether they need them or not. Old Art "The art of transportation is an old one. It began over paths through the forest on which goods were carried on the backs of slaves, A philosopher has said that where you find no means of ready commu- nication with other places and no facilities for the transportation of goods, there you may write the peo ple as barbarians. If an amplitude of transportation facilities is the mark of a high degree of civiliza- tion, we in Canada can boast that we are not barbarians, "The railway is a pioneer of set- tlement. All railways built through new country must pass through u difficult time in building up that country and developing the traffic that is to support them. No coun- try owes more to its railroads than Canada does. Fine Standard "Canadian railways were admir- ably conceived and splendidly con- structed. The first to cross the country was the Canadian Pacific Railway, and as one who has gpent his life in the transportation fleld I wish to pay a compliment to that great organization. It has set a fine standard. We, the younges: in point of organization, are profit- ing by its experience and hope that some. day we will 'beat papa." R.
