Whenever the government under takes to run transportation it make r mess ol it. Coal has no more righ to priorities than food-stuffs, ani food-stuffs have no more right t priorities than other lines of traffU It could easily have been foresee! early last spring by any intelligen cusmess man tnat mere would be , breakdown of transportation this fall and that whether the threatens strike was put into effect or not ther would be a shortage of coal by reasoi of inadequate transportation, if n other reason developed. The Manu facturers Record persistently, earl; last spring, urged every coal consum er to lay in as large a portion of thi season's supply as possible, and to d' it at once, but with that dlspositioi to put off till tomorrow what shojl be done today, a large proportion o coal consumers of the country failei jeo and heed the warning and tha the country is now faced with an in adequate supply of coal and with i breakdown of transportation. Food is rotting on the ground because it cannot be shipped. The pro ducers of this food are just as niucl entitled to a fair measure of trans portation facilities as are the consum crs of coal. The whole system o priorities is wrong. It interfere with every business operation. I halts business development. It en ables railroad managers who hnvi failed to keep up with the needs o the country to excuse themselves be fore the public on the ground tha they can only haul the things whiel are permitted by priorities. If the government had kept it: I and off of the whole situation am simply enforced law and order th< railroads would have been compelle* to increase their facilities if they lia* to buy new rolling stock through re ceivers' certificates, and the countn would lose less if this were brough about than it is losing througn th< breakdown of business due to th< railroad breakdown. The sooner thi government takes its [hand off thi throat of transportation and of bus iness generally; the sooner it unchain; business activities the sooner shal wo develop our transportation facili ties and get business interests on i sound basis. It were better for th< country that most of the railroads went into receivers' hands and wort rebuilt on receivers' certificates, thut guaranteeing an expansion of rail road fucilities equal to the needs o1 the country, than for the business tt be halted year after year as at pres cnt. The methods now prevailing simplj tend to develop the idea of government ownership, but government ownership would be more disastrous even *har. what we aro now facing As radical as the suggestion may be as strongly as we hope that it may not have to be brought into effect, the : ? - i % - nine iihs come wnen tne railroads must increase their facilities as rapidly as it is possible for existing loco, motive and car building plants to increase the supply of rolling stock without regard to temporary loss of income to bandholders or stockholders, if they cannot accomplish this in any other way.?Manufacturers Record Pure-bred live stock will replace the scrub stock of South Africa soon, If plans of the secretary of agriculture of Rhodesia mature.

Washington, Oct. 24.?An internut'onaly owned and operated wireleas station and weather observation station on the shores of Baffin Bay, to supply data for the world's weather services, has been proposed, and J steps are being taken to insure its installation. Baffin Bay is pretty far north, as a glance at a map of the top of oar continent will show, cold winds blow cheerlessly much of the time, ice and snow hold sway over the land and i sea for a good portion of the year, [ and the life of those stationed there, ' cut off from the world except by n dio, would not be of the easiest; but the value of their services to the world would be inestimable, it is said. r Officials of the United States Weather Bureau are enthusiastic over the proposal and will urge the e participation of the government in the cooperative scheme. They point out the valuable work of the inter- t national weather observation station e on the lonely little island of Jan Mayen, off the southeast coast of Greenland, where reports are sent to all the j o European government meterological anmrinno a a wrall no f a fha PsnaHiin and United States weather bureaus, j Mr. V. Bjerkus Ekerold, a Norwegian scientist and meteorologist, \ * through whose efforts the Jan Mayen station was erected, has been in this country and aCnada for some time in o the interest of the proposed Baffin . Bay station. The great value.to this country of " such a station is shown by observers 4 ^ in the fact that they are often handi ^ capped by the sudden arrival of unforeseen weather changes originating a in northern Canada, where there are few stations. Thousands of miles of the continent, up to the Arctic sea, f hold no observation posts nor means of message observations if any were made. The northernmost weather L station in Canada is almost forty der grees from the northern edge of the continent, which puts it far south, close to the international boundary o line. Consequently, officials said, much I weather which originates in that vast stretch of land is unobserved until 0 it is right down upon us. For this reason, it was added, cold waves often bear down from the north in winf ter and our weather bureau can give only scant warning. A recent example of this sudden e and unforseen change occurred in a series of showers that ended the long country-wide drouth that gripped the , country during August, September 1 and early October. Continued dry e ness was predicted for some days because conditions were sluggish j and no changes were observed within tfh 0 scope of the reporting sations. Between two days, however, sudden j showers swept down from the uncharted regions, freshened up the entire Atlantic seaboard and the South ern states, quenched destructive forest fires in aCnada and brought an r end to the drouth. \ If there were more stations farther e north, it was said, the change could t s have been forseen far ahead of its s actual arrival, instead of about two i days or less, and farmers and others s to whom weather conditions are im . a oortant could have had longer warn" ing to prepare. It must be explained that through e general interchanges, the weather observations of nations are made available to other countries having weath ^ er services, and to whom the data are important. Canadian stations therefore make ohsefvations which are as important to this country's weather ' service as though those stations were owned by the United States. The Baffin Bay station would be financed r and operated by the countries of the ? northern hemisphere to whom the data would be of value when reported by wireless.
