the government Director General
Hines, in his statement before the

February 5, the text OF which was
made public today, declared he
"could not reasonably expect any
surplus"
The volume Of traffic is gradually
falling, Hines said. The decrease,
although mot alarming is statis-
tically measurable, he reported. In
some commodities the reduction is
considerable, Hines testified, while
the ge.~A outlook is for substan-

Only the maturing Of the predicted
great crops viii hold up the volume
to any extent during the calendar

stance to taper off the financial aid
which is being given the roads.
BY the end OF 1919. Hines predict
ed, the roads, with a few exceptions
