Wr "|Our horizons are not in the 'past, but in THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG YOUNG CANADA. <--(Continued from Page 1) The revolt of Youth must express its contempt for some of the sermons on alléged success that appear in the pages of our magasines. These selfish, self-gratulatury epistles look mighty small and cheap, after one glances at thie face of Dr. Grenfell. The most disgusting part of 'it ail is when these modern editions of Berooge and Marley begin to talk about "ideals." Youth can stand almost anything, but we beg to be exqused when Memmon stalks in to address the dreamers, In war, #t 1s popular for everybody to serve their country.. In peace, it is the popular thing to shirk the oall of duty and sigh come placently, "let George do it," to inveigh against the "politicians" and the "rotten government." But if one 18 not coutributing, by his own effort, toward public improvement, what right has he to sit in the seat of the scornful ? : It is a good omen when those who were willing to offer all in war are still willing to carry on in the days of peace. Col. Chanles Bent, C.M.G., DS.0O., gave four years in France. He was one of those unsuccessful in the last dominion elections. But time and the etars are om "his side. He said to 'me, speaking of an M.P. who had shirked his duty, "What a pleasure to work for a country Hke Canada." That, I think, is the best political speech I have ever heard. What a pleasure to work for a country like Canada! What a pleasure to work for an Empire like Britain! Those who can speak like that have found a cause greater than themselves, which ean lift them in peace, even as it did in war. = Third--The revolt of Youth is for an ideal which is spiritual, not material, We believe that Canada stands for something more than beef, and pulp, and grain, and manufactures. We are 'humbly conscious of our shortcomings, in things which matter most, and for that reason we look to the church and to the university for that Jeadership which they alone can give, In days to come we want to see men at Ottawa to represent the universities of Toronto and MoGHl, just as England has men in parla- ment to represent Oxford and Cambridge. Why should we leave all our public life to petty politicians of an aldermanic group ? ~ In our efforts toward advance we shall have lots of predigested-cor- reapondence-school-idealists approach us from the marketplace. But we shall simply put a ticket on these Johnnies with the inscription, "Returned with thanks." Over the chalk roads of the Somme we used to sing, "There's a long, long trail a-winding to thé land of our dreams." Back ~ in our beloved land there is still a long, long trail a-winding. Nothing less than a spiritual ideal can keep us in the quest of those far dreams. We are interested in building up a civilization, Therefore, the revolt of Youth has no ear for the philosophers of failure, who seek to justity their 'own shortcomings by thelr miserable. creeds. Young Canada is not out to follow precedents, but to make them. Ours is the forward-looking spirit, and yet we would not forget the past. It is a peculiar weakness of new countries that they are so keen on pressing forward, that they are apt to forget the best that liés behind. The true progressive is the true conservative; that's why we are not out to reform the world over-night. In the war we learned that it was better to take two lines of trenches and consolidate, than to take five lines with an attenuated force that in the end must abandon all. Young Canada stands' for the equipoise of past and future. But let it be clearly emphasized that we, above all else, are for the future. When some old Ichabod begins to croak about the 'best times gone," we shout,/ "The best is yet tobe." Youth does not mean merely those who are young in years. Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up, is ours at eighteen, or eighty. Beyond the three score years and tem, Sir Wilfrid Laurier proclaimed, the future." By those Bir WilMrid proclaimed himself 48 one of Young Canade. sr the end. Horizons in the future are the 3 of youth. Those who still have "air castles," who are not "satisfied," and "gedtied . down," they are the kindred of Youth, they are the hope of. this, domdiion.

Ottawa, Dec. 26.--December open- ed with a gain in railway traffic over the corresponding k of last year. For the week ended 6th in- stant there was a hetterment of 370 loaded cars. This was a small im- provement; but it nevertheless was on the right side. In dut two other weeks since the middle of July had that occurred. If that were all, there would be little cause for encouragement; but when the facts are analyzed they reveal a situation which is stimul- ating. In the West 13,453 carloals of grain and grain products were moved during the week ended 8th December, 1928. This year but 8,798 were handled--an adverse difference of 4,655. In that is found the effect of the smaller harvest of 1924. : In all thé other commodity clase es, with two exceptions, there were gains in the West: this year. The decreases were in lumber and other forest products, and amounted to 879 carloads. On the other hand, the increases were: Live stock, 314; coal, 268; coke, 26; pulpwood, 40; pulp and paper, 68; ore, 306; mer- chandise, 246; and miscellaneous, 560.

As It was, the first se- ven months of the year showed more loaded cars being moved than for the corresponding period of last year. The slump began in August, and, with the exception of three weekly periods, continued right down to the commencement of De- cember. The declines were practi- cally all traceable to the situation in the West. All things considered, the railways have had a tryihg and unprofifitable year. Yet the railways are likely to show net earnings this year on a parity with those of last year. Sir Henry Thornton assures us the Can- sdian National will do so, and his word must be accepted. If net earnings are maintained for 1924, it will be a most creditable perfor- mance; for it will ghow how éxecu- tive skill has triumphed over adver. sity. It will have been done by the unprecedented cutting down of oper- ating expenses. There was no other way, And that has been the story of railway operations in 1934 over 'the whole of North America. The outlook for 1935 is, on the whole, promising. Mr. Samuel O. Dunn, the talented _ far-seeing editor of Railway Age, that next year will witness the heaviest traffic movement in the history of American railroading.
