CANADA KEEPS
 CLOSE WATCH ON
 MONEY PROBLEM
RumOrs of Drive Against Canada Dollar Are Heard--Gold Standard Will Still Stand

Ottawa. ont. April 25--W.P.) -- Political and financial observers watched closely to-day for signs of Il drive" against the Canadian dol- lar in foreign exchange dealings, while officials stod by their declara ton that no real change had been made in Canada's gold position.
 In London, New York. and other financial centefs. dispatches here showed, there was wide belief that Canada had suddenly gone off the gold etandprd. The governments x position, however. wgs that no es- scntial alteration had been made despite an announcement by Min iatcr of Finance Rhodes in the house of commons yesterday that Canada had stopped redemption of Dominion notes fin gold.
 This action was authorized by parliament more than month ago, and was made effective two weeks ago by an ordcr-in-council, Rhodes pointed out. Asked if it meant that Canada had gone off the gold standard, the minister re- piled that Canada had been off the gold standard since Britain went off in 1881.
 The controversy appeared 10 have arisen largely over technical itics. Canada prohibited export of gold except under. special licenses more than Il year ago. The Cana dian dollar has sold at Il discount since then as compared to gold cur rencics, and has even kept Il dis count compared to the United Stntes dollar since tho United States went off inc gold standard. Canada continued, in theory, until two weeks ngo to redeem currency in gold. but anti-ho1rding restric- tions ewcr imposed and few persons appeared 10 want gold If they could not export it.
 Gold still is subject to export un- der licenses. but now notes arc no, redeemable in the precious metal If was pointed out that although the United States stopped redeem ing currency in gold on March 3 inc nation was not considered af having gone off the gold standard technically until Il definite an' nouncement was made in Wash ingtou last week that no gold would be licensed for export foi the purpose of maintaining the value of tho dollar abroad.
 Dominion financial experts insist ted that sinco the actual status oi Canadian money had not changed in my important respect. there wni no basis for any further drop 1T inc value of the Canadian dollar Nevertheless. observers recognized the possibility that. in tho present nervous state of foreign exchange rarkeiF. bear raids might be stag cd against dominion currency.
 OGicjais declined to discuss whh effect the gold situation might have on the international eQnferencci now in progress in Washington.

HOW ABOUT THE RAILROADS?
New and Old Ills Hurt
 Millions

bank deposltors arc concerned. since these Repositories hold one fourth of the total issue of rail securities.
 Today all these millions of Americana, directly and indirectly affected by the condition of tho carriers, are taking it on the chin. They have q real grievance. The railroads are deeply fin the red.
 Securities representing an orig innl investment of between s20.- 00O. 100000 and S26,000, 100000 sagged last year to prices rang. ing between $e.ooo. 100000 and
 That drop accurately reflects what has been happening fin the railroad business.
 Back to 1909 Level
 Freight handled in 1892 by Class roads totaled 257,000.- 100000 "ton- miles" This was the lowest total of my year since 1909. It was a decline of 25 per cent below 1881.
 Revenues also dropped 25 per cent Total gross was s3,150,- 900. 900. Operating expenses were $2,419, 100000. Charges for equip ment, rentals, etc. reduced the net operating income to only $324, ,000.- 900 as compared with $531. 100000 the year before.
 But out of this net operating income, the lines had to pay their bond interest. stock dividends and other fixed charges. And the income wasn't enough. To pay the investing public, the railroads az n whole piled up q deficit of $20O, ,000, 1000 last year, according to R. IT. Ashton, president of the American Railway association. And that meant-again the fig- ures are Mr Aishton's--that no less than go per cent of the rail- road mileage of the country failed to earn interest or fixed charges.
 It is this uneconomical and dangerous condition that Prcsi- dent. Roosevelt and his group of consultnnts is seeking to correct. For it Is clear that to n very large extent. whether America likes 1t or not, the railroads health fs America's heaIht.
 NEXT: What is the matter with the railroads, and why.

omy. And they still have impor- tant uses.
 They're Siiil Big
 Railronds, don't forget. still furnish 75 per cent of American transportation; Railroads in 1880 carried freight of total estimated value of $82, ,000, 900, 900.
 Railroad service K still bought or used literally by every Amer jean; either directly. or in buying food. clothes, gasoline, coal. other cHBcntiais. America ag unit pays the railroad freight.
 Railroads Mill affect an cnor- nous number Of Americans even more directly than this. As work CTS, for instance. Wages. which usc up half inc railroad revenues, go this year to about 000. 900 workers. thus supporting much larger number Of people. The number of workers employed has Bhrunk greatly since 1928. when the total was around 1,700, 900. In 1926 1t was 1900, 900. Ob- viously railroads arc major fac tors in the question of national employment
 Our Greatest Buyers
 The actual payroll of the roads does not begin to i'll the quota Of labor directly dependent upon them. Huge numbers more, are employed furnishing railroad sup plies. since the normal buying power of the lines k put it be- tween 1G and IT per cent of AmefIea's total buying power.
 Railroads in normal times take 25 per cent of the country's bi- luminous coal for their own iigc. 70 per cent of its oil and timber, IT per cent of itg iron and steel.
