figure covers 1030. With a population of 43,000,000, Haly had 2,320 people killed on road ac- eldents and 31,354 Injured last year. These returns are peculiar in that the casualties are actually lower than the preceding year, when the figures were 3,364 killed and 45,308 Injured. It. might be interesting to know the

cause.

Our own road casualties, with a population of 45,000,000, taking the comparable year 1935, were 8,502 kill- ed and 221,720 injured. In making comparisons, of course, duo regard. must be paid to the fact that here and in America, the two countries which huve the worst records, the propor- tion of vehicles to total population is much higher than in any of three other countries cited.

The grand total for all flve coun- tries named works out at not far short of 60,000 dead on the roads every year and at least 550,000 injured. This enlculation leaves out America's toll of merely temporary injuries.

Allowing that these Ave countries road casualties between them, which. furnish 60 per cent. of the world's seems a very fair estimate, it appears This article compares our road slaughter with that of other that every year at least 100,000 pec.. ple are killed, on the roads and about 900,000 injured. countries.
