J-Transport—by rail and sea—is an indispensable ami of national defence. Carrying capacity, from the wheat fields and the mines and the steel mills to the front lines in France, was the measure of our power in war. 1 And it is the measure of our power in peace. Industrial expansion - increasing national prosperitygreater world trade are vitally dependent on railroad growth. The limit to the productive power of this country is the limit set by railroad 'capacity to haul the products of our industry. The amount of freight carried on American rails doubled from 1X97 to 1905 since that year it has doubled It will double still again. To haul this rapidly growing traffic the country must have more railroads —more ears and engines —more tracks and terminals. l.
