FIRST THINGS COME FIRST War Priorities Regulate Train Travel Keeping pace with the transport requirements of war-time imposes a tremendous burden on the railways. Compared with pre-war averages, passenger traffic (including troops) has increased by 40 per cent., = 547,000 extra passenger journeys per month in the North Island and 180,000 in the South Island. Freight figures, too, are phenomenal. ... In satisfying to the capacity of existing power, this unprecedented and ever-increasing demand, war needs must be served first, and all else in order of essentiality. That is why plans for travel this Christmas should be fitted in with the present available transport arrangements. Protection To-day—Pleasure To-morrow
