RAILWAYS STATEMENT (BY THE MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, HON. R. SEMPLE)

Mr. Speaker,— In this my third Railways Statement, I take much pleasure in recording another splendid performance on the part of the Dominion's railways. In each of my previous Statements I was able to report record achievements, and this year the factors which combined to produce those records have continued and increased in tempo to such an extent that the railways have had to meet the heaviest demands ever yet made upon them. FINANCIAL The financial results of the year's operations are more than satisfactory. The gross revenue for the year amounted to £14,128,993, exceeding the record of last year by no less a sum than £2,190,655 (18-35 per cent.). Expenditure for the twelve months was £11,302,413, and the net revenue £2,826,580. These figures represent an increase of £1,246,379 (12-39 per cent.) and £944,276 (50-17 per cent.) respectively compared with 1941-42. On a percentage basis the net return on capital was 4-31 per cent., and the surplus of net revenue over interest charges amounted to £203,867. Thus, for the first time since 1926, the net revenue has been more than sufficient to meet the full interest charges ; in fact, it is probably the first time that the railways can be said to have met their obligations in full, for in the year ended 31st March, 1926, the interest charges were met only by reason of the payment from the Consolidated Fund of a subsidy on branch lines amounting to £359,540, while prior to the reorganization of the accounting system on Ist April, 1925, no provision was made for depreciation, renewals, and reserves and no annual contribution to the Railways Superannuation Fund was required. RAILWAYS AND THE WAR In the present crisis, however, the financial results are overshadowed by the vital role being played by the railways in the Dominion's war effort. The present conflict has shown quite clearly that in time of stress the railway is the only reliable agency for bulk inland transport. Since August, 1939, this country has suffered a progressive diminution in its transport capacity; the coastwise trade has been limited, and the capacity to transport by road has been severely reduced, firstly by the petrol position and more recently by the progressively acute tire shortage. The brunt of this loss in transport capacity has been borne by the railways, and the difficulties attendant on the transport of military personnel and the large volume of war supplies and equipment have been correspondingly increased. In meeting and overcoming these difficulties the railways have played an essential part in the country's defence system not only in successfully handling the greatly increased volume of traffic, but also on the administrative side. The railway representatives on the various committees set up to deal with road transport, cargo clearance, and shipping have performed very valuable work in assisting road

operators, harbour authorities, and shipping interests to overcome their difficulties. The membership of these committees comprise representatives of varied and diverse interests, and I desire to congratulate them on the effective work they have done and also on the thoroughly harmonious relationships which have obtained not only within the committees, but also as between the committees and the interests affected by their operations. This war has also shown that, from the broad national viewpoint, this Government's policy of extending the main railway systems of both Islands was amply justified. In order to relieve the position which arose from the rubber and fuel shortage, traffic was worked over the Waikokopu-Gisborne, the DargavilleKirikopuni, the Wharanui-Clarence, and the Westport-Inangahua sections as soon as practicable, even though these lines were not ready for taking over by the Railways Department. This working has produced vital economies in fuel and tires, and the completion of further portions of the South Island Main Trunk, and particularly the Hundalee-Oaro section, which will eliminate a heavy hill section of the road journey, should enable added savings in petrol and tires of a substantial nature to be made. This work is therefore being proceeded with as rapidly as possible. When reviewing the work done by the railways one must also bear in mind that they have not been free to expand their staff and facilities to meet the greatly increased demand. On the staff side a total of 6,876 employees, or 26-6 per cent, of the pre-war staff, are at present serving with the armed forces, and a further 84 have been loaned to other Departments and to private firms engaged on war work. To some extent these men have been replaced by the new appointees and by the engagement of women, of whom. 1,400 have been taken on by the railways since the commencement of the war. The work of these women in clerical positions, portering duties, the cleaning of cars, and other positions has been of extreme value to the Department. Nevertheless, the railway staff is still 3,215, or 12-5 per cent., below the pre-war figure, and this, coupled with loss of experienced men to the armed forces, has meant long hours and hard work for all sections of the staff. In the workshops the rate of manufacture of munitions has been fully sustained throughout the year. The production of universal carrier parts, bodies for beaverettes, trench mortars, bomb casings, and of other types of equipment for all the Services has been continued, and to these has been added the building of marine engines and boilers for Navy trawlers. This work has been carried on without interfering with the maintenance of railway rolling-stock, which must, of course, be the prime factor for consideration in the activities of the Department's workshops. It will be realized, however, that owing to the difficulty in securing certain necessary parts from overseas a good deal of improvization has been necessary in order to maintain the locomotives and rolling-stock in a satisfactory state ol repair. The necessity for conserving paper-supplies still continues, and I again regret that I cannot give the Department's operations the extensive review they merit, but from the foregoing short review I think it will be apparent to all that the railways have risen to the occasion in no uncertain manner. CONCLUSION Since I have assumed the office of Minister of Railways I have had an opportunity of travelling extensively throughout New Zealand and have had the pleasure of coming in contact with the rank and file of the Railway Service, and I feel bound to say that I have the greatest admiration for the manner in which the Railway staff as a whole carry out their duties, particularly the operating section, who have given, efficient service during the past year, and I feel proud to be the Minister in charge of the Department where those concerned have given of their best under the most exceptional and trying conditions. The harmonious relationships existing between the Minister, the Management, and the staff referred to by me in the Railways Statement for 1942 have been more than maintained during the year under review. In conclusion, let me once again thank the General Manager, Mr. E. Casey, and the Assistant General Manager, Mr. J. Sawers, for their unfailing courtesy and help throughout the year.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS New Zealand Government Railways Department, Head Office, Wellington, 24th May, 1943. The Hon. the Ministeb or Railways. I have the honour to submit my annual report on the working of the New Zealand Railways for the financial year ended 31st March, 1943. The report covers only the more important aspects of the year's operations, the usual comprehensive review of activities having been again dispensed with in view of the urgent need to conserve paper-supplies.

WORKING RESULT (Whole Undertaking)

Revenue. —The gross revenue earned established a new record, exceeding the previous record figure established last year by no less a sum than £2,190,655 (18-35 per cent.). Conditions arising from the war were again responsible for the major portion of the increase in revenue. The effects of the restriction on the sale of petrol, the movement of the armed forces, the carriage of war equipment and supplies, and the longer haulages consequent on the centralization of shipping continued to benefit the receipts ; to these factors there were added during the year the development of an acute tire shortage, a large increase in both export and import trade, and a general increase in industrial activity connected with the intensification of the war in the Pacific area. Expenditure. —The increase in expenditure during the year was due chiefly to the cost of handling the additional traffic. Other important causes were the payment of the second cost-of-living bonus from sth April, 1942, the payment of an increase of Id. per hour to the lower-paid employees for the full year as against only three months of the previous year, and payment of higher overtime rates as from Ist October, 1942. The ratio of operating expenditure to revenue was 80-71, the lowest since 1925. Net Revenue. —The net revenue amounted to £2,826,580, an improvement of £944,276 (50-17 per cent.) compared with last year. This more than satisfactory result was achieved notwithstanding that in the twelve months under review the sum of £1,751,599 was set aside from the revenue account for depreciation, renewals, and other reserves, and superannuation subsidy prior to arriving at net revenue. The net revenue for the year is the highest ever earned in the history of the Department. INTEREST CHARGES Interest charges for 1942-43 totalled £2,622,713, a decrease of £133,433 compared with the previous year. Up to 31st March, 1942, the interest rate on capital moneys was 4J per cent. As from Ist April, 1942, the rate of interest was reduced to 4 per cent, in accordance with the decision of the Minister of Finance under section 6 (5) of the National Development Loans Act, 194-1. This accounts for the reduction in the interest charges. The net revenue for-the year was sufficient to pay the interest charges in full, with a surplus of £203,867. In the year 1941-42 the net revenue fell short of the interest charges by £873,842. This is the first time since the present accounting system (which, unlike the previous system, makes proper provision for depreciation, renewals, and reserves) was introduced on Ist April, 1925, that the actual earnings have been sufficient to meet the interest charges in full. In the year 1925-26 the interest was also met in full, but this was made possible only by the receipt in that year from the Consolidated Fund of a subsidy on branch lines amounting to £359,540. Without that subsidy the net earnings in that year fell short of the interest charges by £280,518.

MILEAGE OF LINES OPEN FOR TRAFFIC The mileage of lines open for traffic at 31st March, 1943, was 3,459 miles 63 chains, being an increase of 69 miles 69 chains over the figure for the preceding year. The increased mileage is due to the Railways Department taking over the sections between Kirikopuni and Dargaville, between Waikokopu and Gisborne, and between Wharanui and Clarence. Details of the additions and adjustments made during 1942-43 are shown hereunder M. Ch.

D.—2

The revenue under all heads has shown substantial improvement, the increases being particularly heavy in the case of passenger revenue (43-49 per cent.) and parcels, luggage, and mails revenue (21-86 per cent.). Passenger journeys (ordinary) in 1942-43 exceeded the previous year's figure by 6,065,587 (54-62 per cent.), reaching a new record of 17,171,214. During the major portion of the year under review it was found necessary to curtail civilian travel. A permit system was introduced restricting travel for distances of over one hundred miles to those on essential business or with special reasons. These restrictions were applied in both Islands over the Easter period in April, 1942, and in the North Island from 27th July, 1942, to 12th January, 1943, with considerble intensification during the period of the acute coal shortage between 16th September and 3rd October, 1942. Despite these limitations, the number of ordinary passenger journeys exceeded those in the previous record year, 1920-21, by 1,855,574. The substantial increase was due largely to the diversion of road traffic to rail in consequence of the petrol restrictions and tire shortage, and to the movement of the armed forces. Receipts from the conveyance of goods and live-stock and the tonnage carried showed substantial increases on last year's record figures. The comparative revenue figures are set out in the table above, while the tonnage for 1942—43 was 8,887,089 tons, compared with 8,473,765 tons for 1941—42, an increase of 413,324 tons (4-88 per cent.). The principal increases in freight revenue were in respect of grain, £42,290 ; fresh meat, £56,966 ; butter, £40,259 ; wool, £42,436 ; timber, £132,025 ; cement, £54,994 ; and general merchandise, £555,695. OPERATING EXPENDITURE The following table shows the operating expenditure under the main headings, together with appropriate comparisons with the previous year's figures : —

SUBSIDIARY SERVICES The following table shows the variations in revenue and expenditure for the year as compared with 1941-42

Both the increases and decreases in subsidiary services revenue and expenditure, as indicated in the foregoing summary, are attributable in the main to factors arising from the war and to which reference has already been made.

STORES BRANCH An analysis of the amount expended in connection with the purchase of stores during the year is as under :—

The increases in payments are due to the receipt of heavy shipments of munition materials. The total issues to all branches (including coal) for the year amounted to £3,870,859, as against £3,120,190 for the previous year, an increase of £750,669. PUBLICITY ACTIVITIES Railways publicity has been curtailed to the limits prescribed by war conditions. As formerly, however, the public have been kept adequately informed of services and facilities made available by the Department, and the railway position regarding transport matters has been made known as required. Between the Department and the press generally, friendly liaison has been maintained, and I take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the consideration and assistance accorded to the Department in that relationship. RAILWAYS AND THE WAR The outstanding feature of the year has been the impact of war conditions on the country's transport system. With the severe disruption of other forms of transport due to the petrol and rubber shortages and to war conditions generally, it can now justly be said that in the transport sphere the railways form the foundation upon which all defence structures must rest. That the foundation is solid is evident from the results of the year's operation ; despite a considerably reduced staff the transport demands of the armed forces and of key industries have been met and services maintained to meet the essential civilian requirements of the country. At times these demands have, however, been met only with great difficulty, and in view of the ever-increasing volume of traffic which the railways are being called upon to carry and having regard to the seriously depleted staff, it is clear that measures to ease the situation will have to be given very serious consideration in the immediate future. There appear to be only two alternatives, either the staff, particularly on the operating side, must be augmented or severe restrictions in railway services will have to be imposed. As at 31st March, 1942, the number of railway employees serving with the armed forces totalled 6,876. Of these, 78 have been posted missing and 214 are known to be prisoners of war. The number of railwaymen who have made the supreme sacrifice in the present war now totals 168. Contributions to the National Patriotic Fund by way of voluntary subscriptions deducted from the pay of railway employees have now reached the sum of £19,857, and in addition the staff have deposited by way of fortnightly instalments in National Savings Accounts the sum of £48,205. TRACK, PLANT, AND ROLLING-STOCK The track, bridges, structures, signalling appliances, rolling-stock, locomotives, and other plant are in good order and efficient for the work required of them. STAFF The following table shows the staff position, together with appropriate comparisons with the previous year's figures (the figures do not include the railway employees serving in the armed forces): —

At the outbreak of war the total staff employed by the railways was 25,765, so that as at 31st March, 1943, the number employed was less than the pre-war staff by 3,215, or 12-5 per cent. These totals do not, however, give any real indication of the handicap under which the Department is labouring by reason of the loss of trained and experienced railwaymen. In addition to the 6,876 men serving with the armed forces, the Department has since the outbreak of war lost the services of 2,663 of the permanent staff through deaths, resignations, retirements, and dismissals. The pre-war female staff consisted of clerical and refreshment-room workers to the number of 627. Since the outbreak of the war 1,400 additional female employees have been engaged, principally to replace male clerical workers, but a number are also employed in ticket-checking, interior carriage-cleaning, luggage-room and stores work, and other duties formerly performed by men. The work of the women employees has been of a high standard, and they have shown considerable adaptability in applying themselves to railway duties. A total of £61,731 was paid under the Workers' Compensation Act during the year to employees suffering injury in the course of their employment. CONCLUSION That the railways were able to handle the greatly increased volume of traffic was duo to the willing co-operation of all members of the staff, and I desire to record my sincere appreciation of their arduous, loyal, and cheerful service during a year of unprecedented difficulties in the operation of the railways.
