tackles sociology, economics, diplo-
macy as well as finance, has got the

out in its September letter" thus;
eff railway trainmen are to make
shorter runs in the future more men
will be required in that service and
they will have to be withdrawn from
farming and other occupations; pro-
duction will be curtailed," etc.
1t is not likely that over two per

along their routes. However, if
farmers are going to rush in and run
locomotives, switch cars and man
age the brakes, we're going to quit
