Some feasible ex- planation should be given as to why the Aquitania, the Olympic and other large vessels should be handed over to the American government while there are still tony of thousands of Canadian troops waiting to be sent home. The soldiers now returning to the dominion are bitter in their com- plaints regarding transport condi- tions. Some of them state frankly that they are herded together fike cattle, and while it is perhaps neces- sary to take these statements with a little reserve, the constant recurrence of the complaints makes one wonder if there is not much room for im- provement in the transport of return- ing Canadians.
