Annual Report, Guide to Canadian Development Is clearly understandable presentation of conditions since it affects all phases Canada's industrial and commercial life very year the E people of Can- ada have placed before them two documents which in a different way present the facts regarding condi- tions prevailing throughout the coun One of these is the bud- get of the Minis- ter of Finance and the other is the annual re of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The latter being a business docu- ment and necessarily entirely free from any touch of political influence is the more clearly understandable presentment of conditions and it is an equally reliable guide because there exists no phase of Canada's in- dustrial and commercial life which is not touched upon and affected by the truly natio is an annual record. The company's report for the year just issued, reflects the marked con- traction the nation's business has ex- perienced. Gross earnings for the year totalled $182,602,166, a decline of $13,334,933 from those of the pre- vious year. Freight earnings alone decreased by $10,794,416. orkin expenses, including all taxes totall $145,274,914, a decrease of $13,083,- 165. Net earnings totalled $37,227,- 241, a decrease for the year of $251,- 788. The working expenses for the year, including all taxes, amount to 79.60 per cent. of the gross earnings, and the net earnings to 20.40 per cent, as compared with 80.86 per cent. and 19.14 per cent. respectively in 1923. In his summary to the annual re- rt Chairman and President E. W. atty points out that the decrease in freight earnings, which alone amounted to $10,794,416, is largely accounted for by the much smaller movement of grain and flour, par- ticularly the former, owing to the smaller crop in Western Canada. He instances also a substantial decrease in the movement of manufactured articles as a result of the general business situation. Notwithstanding this, he says, the result of the com- pany's operations must be consid- -satisfactory. Mr. Beatty Jointed out that the company's land sales for the year totalled 96,755 acres, of which 6,741 Py r institution of which it 8 | acres were of irrigated land selling at. .26 per acre, the average for the alance being $15.90 per acre. The land sales were in excess of last year, but were still of moderate pro- Kai portions, due partly to the fact that immigration was not extensive, es- pecially of those financially able to immediately purchase land holdings: The wide-spread character of the company's operations, said the re- port, makes it necessary that sub- stantial cash balances should be maintained and for that purpose the directors had authorized and mgin- tained the creation and sale' of securities totalling $52,000,000. Special attention was drawn to de- creases in the company's income from subsidiary companies, particu- larly the Canadian Pacific steam- ships operating on the Atlantic where continued light freight busi- ness and er passenger traffic cut into earnings. Results in this connection were disappointing, says the report In anticipation of a con- siderable increase in passenger and freight traffic the schedules for the season were arranged to provide for ten additional sailings during the t. Lawrence season. The schedules of sailings of other companies were also enlarged with the result that competition was increased, and this and the drastic immigration laws of the United States, together with the failure of Canadian immigration to reach the proportions expected by the Government and the transporta- tion companies, were the principal causes of the unsatisfactory show- ing. The steamship companies, in order to assist in making effective the immigration policy of the coun- try, allowed a rebate of fifteen dol- lars in the fare of each immigrant, but, notwithstanding this concession, the decrease in a westbound passengers was 15,000 and the cost to the Company of the rebates is $325,000, with a corresponding reduc- tion in its net earnings. The total earnings westbound were $1,743,000 less than in 1923. The eastbound passenger carryings were somewhat greater than in 1928, owing jargely to the attraction of the Wembley Ex- hibition. Freight traffic showed a very moderate increase, amounting in earnings to $503,000 and in ton- nage to 125,000 tons. In the result, the operations of the Atlantic fleet showed a decrease in revenue from all sources of $1,979,000 under 1923 and an increase of $617,000 in ex- penses owing to the increased num- ber 'of voyages. An improvement in business to and from the Orient is expected because of the more Btable commercial and political con- ditions now existing in these coun tries. The report drew attention to th(. two fine new steam the "Princes{ ia . bees hae ao g wi ve n built for the British Columbia Coast eas ship service, both of which will be operating in a few weeks 8 and bo satisfactory progress on work of building the new las Louise Chatel whie 0) n June as ; America's finest hotels, ns During the the compan poses to pong total of $4,858,900 on improvement to plant connected with railroad and telegraph services.

Undoubtedly in- tervention by Parliament will be necessary in order that a scale of rates may be evolved which will be free from such discrimination, even though Jegal in character. The reme- dies which are suggested are for the most part artificial and of doubt ful soundness. A general lower scale of rates is not possible without grave unfairness to the transporta- tion companies unless brought about through increase of ie in con- sequence of greater population and development in the country itself, Two factors, however, appear to be reasonably certain, namely, that an independent tribunal free from poli- tical influence should determine the reasonableness of Canadian railway rates and that the Companies should receive adequate revenues for the vitally important services they rend- er. The complicated question of freight schedules is one which can only be dealt with by a dispassion- ate tribunal with the aid of experts and naving in view the interests of the shippers and consumers, and of the transportation agencies of the country. In public discussions of the subject the value of the work of the transportation companies and in par- ticular of your Company is frankly recognized, but the fact that that work can only be carried on success- fully under a fair scale of rates is sometimes overlooked.
