Receipts at the Southern ports in De¬

Subscriptions to Canada's
second $600,000,000 Victory Loan amounted to $55,661,600 on Feb. 23, the largest single day's return since the

that date past the half-way mark to $310,810,750.
The Dominion deficit for the first 10 months of the
current fiscal year was $221,000,000 at the end of Janu¬
ary; Reyenues increased 75 % ovqr ayear agoto $1,143,000,000, and expenditures rose 48% to $1,364,000,000.
War costs of $998,000,000 represented an increase of 77%
oyer those in the preceding fiscal year*

tries which in 1938 imported $19,000,000,000 of the total
world import trade of $24,000,000,000, in 1941 lost more
than 35% of the indicated total trade of $11,750,000,000.
The remainings two-thirds was diverted into war chan¬
nels. Canadian imports from the United States in 1941.
were 2.33 times those of 1938.

Bank of Canada for 1941 shows holdings of sterling and
United States dollars of $200,861,155, compared with

sterling to the Bank of Canada on a temporary basis,
the Foreign Exchange Board obtained Canadian dollars
to assist it in financing its operations, reaching a peak
of $295,000,000 on June 25;
Montreal funds ranged during the week between a

.The average number of telephone conversations per

high and 5,389,000 per day more than in 1940.
There were times during the year when the increase in long distance
calls between many important places was more than 100 %—between
some places as much as 400%.
The
number of employees of the System, including
the Western
Electric Co., Inc., and the Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc., increased
57,600 and was 379,900 at the end of the year,
Rates of pay were
increased and are now the highest on record.
Total payrolls increased
$114,936,000, or 19%.
For the System, including the Western Electric Co. and the Bell
Telephone Laboratories, taxes increased $88,279,000 and amounted to
$288,493,000.
This support of Government and war activities was
equal to nearly $15 per share of stock.
Telephone rates were reduced during the year, saving telephone
users
about $22,000,000 annually.
Most of the reductions were in
long distance rates.
All parts of the System cooperated fully and wholeheartedly with

the year, there were 23,450,000 telephones in the
of which Bell System telephones numbered 18,841,000.
There, has
never
been finer cooperation
between the 6,350 inde¬
pendently owned telephone companies in this country and the Bell
System compainies. All these companies, together with more than 60,000f
rural or farmer lines and systems, make possible nation-wide universal
telephone service, offering to the telephone user the ability to talk
to anyone, anywhere, promptly and clearly,.
This cooperation is more
imoprtant now under the stress of total war than ever before.
Bell System Facilities—The great expansion of telephone service,#
both local and toll, reduced the margins of unused plant held for
future
growth and resulted in some cases in shortages of plant
facilities, particularly on-xertain long distance routes where growth
was the most rapid.
As a result, it was necessary to construct large
amounts of additional plant of all types.. Every effort was made to
do this with a minimum use of strategic war Materials.
Expenditure^
for new construction were High, approximately $420,000,000, as com-t
pared with $290,000,000 in 1940.

by the latter part of 1942.
Altogether, about 4,000 miles of toll and long distance telephone
-cables were added during the year, raising the total mileage of these
cables in service to about 36,000 miles.
Over two-thirds of the cable
added was placed underground;
most of it by using the recently
perfected method of plowing the cables into the ground to a depth of
30 inches or more with heavy mechanized equipment.
Development of coaxial cable,,
which can carry several hundred
telephone conversations simultaneously in two pairs of specially de¬
signed conductors, reached the point of regular commercial use when
the
200-mile cable
of
this
type between Minneapolis and Stevens
Point, Wis., was placed in service in 1941,
The extensive use of
coaxial cables is planned on the longer heavy traffic routes as an
economical means of providing long distance circuits.

the shortage of essential materials.
Anticipating these shortages and
beginning over two years ago, early in the emergency, steps were
to
reduce the Bell System use of strategic
materials.
Those
responsible for the design and manufacture of telephone apparatus
and supplies have carried on continuous and extensive studies of the
use
of
alternate
materials and as rapidly as possible substitutions
have been made to meet imminent or prospective shortages.
Also, throughout the Bell System, emergency engineering and oper¬
ating practices were adopted in 1941 to reduce as far as possible the
use
of strategic
materials.
These emergency practices included the
deferment, wherever practicable of plant construction for the purpose
of betterment by continuing in service plant which normally would
have been replaced, and by repairing and reusing a large proportion
of plant
removed from service.
Where new plant was built, 5t was
engineered to take care of growth: for a relatively short period in
the future by greatly reducing the size of cables and of additions to
central office equipment and other plant.
These necessary changes in design and in engineering and operating
practices added to the load at a time when all hands were hard
pressed by an unusually large manufacturing and construction pro¬
gram, including much special work for the armed forces and other
defense
agencies.
The substitutions and the emergency practices
which have been adopted involve some economic penalties in the form
of increased costs, either currently or in the long run.

Practically the only, commercial use for ..carbonic gas at that time

in
the making of carbonated beverages.
An expansion of the
activities of the company's predecessor carried it into the develop¬

Because carbonic gas is sold in cylinders underhigh pressure, dependable, pressure reducing regulators were essential*

necessary
to meet in part increases in operating / expenses due to
higher wage rates, increased cost of material and supplies, and the
added cost of safeguarding railroad properties and operations during

The request for authority to increase inter¬
state passenger fares, except special fares for soldiers and sailors on
furlough and extra fares applicable to certain trains, was granted
Jan. 21, 1942, and the increase was made effective Feb.
10, 1942.
Intrastate fares were increased correspondingly in
Oregon, Arizona,
and New Mexico, on Feb. 10; and in California, with the additional
exception of commutation fares, on Feb. 11.
Decisions by the regu¬

Hearings on
the freight rate increase have been held by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and an early decision is anticipated.

In authorizing and directing payment of the

•/.<
Although the indenture of the issues provides a call premium of 9%,
the SEC said that United was under a congressional mandate to- termi¬
nate its affairs and that the contract right of the debenture holders to
receive more than principal and accrued interest thus was voided.
* •*
"The company's lack of free choice to continue in business, making
liquidation necessary, renders inapplicable the provision for redemption
and payment of a redemption premium," the Commission stated.
It
added that nowhere in the debentures was there a contract right vested
in the holders to receive more than par and accrued interest in those
