Indeed, the traffic of any two nation, may be combined, and .till it doe. not approach the commerce of America borne upon American railway.. —Vaitad tlaUi ft»Mr Camata.. I Ask Any Doughboy Who Was ‘ ‘Over There’ ’ and he will tell you that American railroads are the best in the world. He saw the foreign roads -— in England and France, the best in Europe — and in other Continental countries — and he knows. The part railroads have played in the development of the United States is beyond measure. American railroads have achieved high standards of public service by far-sighted and courageous investment of capital, and by the constant striving of managers and men for rewards for work well done. We have the best railroads in the world — we must continue to have the best. But they must grow. To the $20,000,000,000 now invested in our railroads, there will have to be added in next few years, to keep pace with the nation s business, billions more for additional tracks, stations and terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses and trains, automatic signals, safety devices, the elimination of grade crossings — and for reconstruction and engineering economies that will reduce the cost of transportation. To attract to the railroads in the future the investment funds of many thrifty citizens, the directing genius of the most capable builders and managers, and the skill and loyalty of the best workmen —i n competition with other industries bidding for capital, managers and men — the railroad industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to managers and to the men. American railroads will continue to set world standards and adequately serve the Nation’s needs if they continue to be built and operated on the American principle of rewards for work well done. * advertisement is published by the Thote denting information concerning the railroad rituation may obtain literature by writing to The AeeociaH° n °f Railway Executives, 61 Broadway, New York.
