Queen Mary's Death

Once again thc Angcl of Death has vis- ited the Royal Family, calling this time to her eternal reward Her Majesty Queen Mary, venerable in years and beloved by all her subjects throughout the Common- wealth. Her Majesty's long life was one of undeviating devotion to duty, and she en- deared herself not only by her dignity, graciousness and self-discipline, but by her many benevolent acts and kindly words. She lived to bccomc the oldest Queen in British history. maintaining until her final illness, hcr 7.czil'and interest in public at- fairs ancl, more particularly. in the many charitable activities with which her name has so long been associated.

it will be recalled that during the four ,

years of the First World War Queen Mary was always at her husband's side. a model of self-sacrificc, almost daily visiting hos- pitals, canteens and munition factories, and more than once going to France on inspec- tion tours of allied hospitals. Though less active during the last war, hcr devotion to duty was equally marked, and at all times her courageous example was felt and ap- preciated. Her cighticth birthday, in 1947, was an event celebrated throughout the Commonwealth: in London it was a special occasion for rorjoicing, thousands packing the way as the Queen drove slowly from Marlborough Housc, her official residence, to Buckingham Palace for ii family re- union. ' .

In joy and sorrow, peacetime and war, Her Majesty shared so intimately in the life of her people that she came to sym- bolize their traditions in a manner unique in modern times. Hcr exquisite taste, shown in her beautiful needlework as well as in the performance of all her formal duties to the minutcst detail, was but, one char- acteristic of n naturc singularly endowed with the graccs and virtucs of true nobil- ity.

To Her Majesty the Quccn Mother. Her Majesty Quccn Elizabeth II and all the members of the Royal Family. the heart- felt sympathy of their millions of loyal subjects will he cxtcnded at this time. Yet all will feel that in a lifc so nobly lived there is less rcason for tears than for proud and grateful thanksgiving. Already enshrined in thc hearts of her people, Queen Mary's mcmory will remain green throughout. thc yc:-irs. and her name will continue to fall likc a benediction wherever it is spoken.

c. It. R. Financing

Although thc volume of freight lralfic, principal sourcc of rcvcnuc for the rail- ways, rcachcd n ncw high last year, in-

result slightly less than in 1951. Adjustments made by the Capital Revis-

T 1 ion Act, however, made the greatest im-

pact upon the balance sheet. Under thc Act, interest-bearing debt to the amount of more than 5736 million, representing more than half the borrowed capital outstanding at the end of 1951, was exchanged for four per cent preferred stock, on which non- cumulative dividends must be paid to the

extent that earnings are available after in-l

come tax has been paid; and outstanding

loans from the government of 35100 million

iwere converted into 20-year debentures on .whicli no interest is payable for the first ' ten years. The Act also provided for trans- fer of stock and other arrangements, all of which make the picture of operations much clearer to the Canadian public.

T-li;TrTTt Deadlock

The 11-nation Security Council of the

United Nations has rejected Russia's second nominee, Madame Lakshmi Pandit of India, as successor to Secretary-General Trygve Lie. Madame Pandit was the fourth candi- date to fail to secure the required vote. Two non-Communists, Canada's Lester B. Pearson and the Philippines' Brigadier Car- los P. Romulo, and one Communist, Polish Foreign Minister Stanislaw Skrzeszewski, were previously rejected. The Council, notes the Montreal Gazette, is now deadlocked, with the two favored candidates of each side having failed. This deadlock unfortunately is an accurate rep- resentation of the situation in any of the U.N.'s various divisions when anything of importance has been proposed in the last four years.

The Secretary-General contest. brings this situation sharply into focus." Mr. Lie, for the purposes of his position, has not been Secretary-General since the Korean 'War began. At that time, the first oc- casion when an emergency arose in which the great powers were seriously involved, Mr. Lie supported the U.N. decision to re- isist North Korean aggression. Since that time, Russia and the satellite states have not recognized him as Secretary-General.

Although the General Assembly, over- riding Russia's objections in the Council, extended his five-year appointment for an- other three years. which is to end a year from now, Mr. Lie chose to resign now. He resigned for the good of the U.N., in the hope that a successor might be a regain some sort of co-operation from the Russian bloc.

With the issue deadlocked, says the Gazette, this appears unlikely at the mo- ment. Yet Russia, though practising dead- lock as an art. is very unlikely to carry it so far as to break up the United Nations. It is to her interest to maintain her delega- tions in New York, for the U.N. provides her with the tallest soapbox in the world from which to broadcast her propaganda. For this reason, and not for any which re- flects the U.N.'s ideals, Russia is likely, after prolonged haggling, to make some compromise.

In the ex- pressdepartment, It was reported that an, increase in rates accompanied by a record- breaking number of shipments accounted for an increase of nearly 17 per cent over 1951. In the communications branch of the system a similar picture was revealed. A substantial increase in rates plus an in- crease in the volume of business accounted for the improved showing. So far as the hotel operations were concerned, however, revenues showed an increase but expenses ofthe nine Canadian National hotels and three summer resort lodges produced a net
