1 HE CIRSE OF PRIORITIES ANI
GOVERNMENT CONTROL Ob
TRANSPORTATION.
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.

International Station to S
Guido Weather Sorriooa {
, ,, ?
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.
