$700,000,000 MAY BE REQUIRED BY RAIL DIRECTOR Program for Year's Expenditures This Year Calls for Billion Dollars. , (By Associate Press

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. The sum which congress will be asked soon to appropriate as an addition to the railroad administration revolving fund may be as much as $700,000,000, It was learned today. Director General nines had Indicated that $500,000,000 would be the minimum, but investigations of budget needs for improvements this, year now show that a half billion dollars probably will not be enough for all purposes. The railroad administration's tentative program calls for expenditure of about a- billion dollars this year for extensions, improvements and new equipment of the railroads under gov ernment control, and a large part of, this must be financed from the revolvins fund In loans to railroads. In ad- ' dition, the railroad administration may be called on, as contracts with the Individual roads are completed, to furnish working capital and credit the companies with cash taken over by the administration when It assumed control. The aggregate of these two items is calculated at $340,000,000. Under a new policy this year the railroad administrations will not approve in advance p.n entire program of improvements for each road, but will authorize specific projects from time to time. U. S.-EflGLAND Continued From Page One. in London " three years ago or two years, ago, nothing could have appeared more impossible. It needed something beyond our mere participation in the war to complete the thing. Exactly this Mr. Wilsons visit contributed, it is easy to overestimate the permanent value of any single incident or of the emotions of any one moment, but I have found no one in London who did not feel that there had been an enduring gain for AngloAmerican understanding as a result of the president's "visit. It would be difficult to cxaicgerato , with the greatest war in human hlssituation as viewed by thoughtful Englishmen. - We are hardly done with the greatest war in humana history; and a few hours' travel from London brings one to human shores on which the waves of Bolshevism and anarchy are breaking with ever increasing force. The war has ended as no man foresaw, and the momentary exultation at the i end of the strain has already given way to the bitter realization that the strain has been tranasformed, not removed. Gave Vitality to Hopes. I do not purpose at this tlme to make any reference to British politics, save to warn my American readers against too sweeping generalization in any direction. In the same way I refra'n from estimating at this distance and with to slight evidence the extent or the reality of the Bolshevik menace in Germany and out ot it. But foreign politics and domestic politics are tremendous factors in the present situation, puzzling, baffling, in a sense discouraging. Europe has discovered how different is the cessation from fighting from an actual restoration of peace. Peace, for four and a half desperate years, has been a golden promise, a sufficient goal to enlist all effort. But it has turned out that even when the fight is over and the victory won, the goal remains remote. There are still pain, privation, apprehension. One Immediate peril has gone, but half a dozen which seemed remote yesterday have today become immediate. Into this situation President Wilson has come to give vitality to the old hopes, aspirations and expectations. No one can egaggerate the danger inherent In such a position and in Euch a role. No living man, no man who has ever lived, could satisfy, the expectations President Wilson has aroused. Yet this much Is clear: He has so far done nothing to lessen hopes and much to strengthen them. Vhen he went away from England, he left behind him new hopes, but he shattered none of those which existed before he came. Let It be understood at once that this British visit was not in any sense another of the old-fashioned "Hands across the Sea" and "Blood Is thicker than water" affairs. It was not past relationship, but future co-operation which was and is In the minds of Brit ish nnd Americans. The old efforts, earnest and " sincere as they were, failed Immeasurably because they were backward looking and rested up on an old association which could not be restored. Be'iief In Co-operation. . Viewed close to the event and with all proper qualifications necessary In the premises, the great thing, the very greatest thing, about President Wilson's visit was that it created the belief that there could be present and future co-operation between the United States and Great Britain, because there was a solid basts for such co-operation. Millions of men and women found In the presence and in the words of Mr. Wilson evidence of a contempo rary community of thought, of aspira tlons and of Ideals. I came to London wholly skeptical of the Wilson visit I found unanimous testimony to its sue cess, including that of the Americans least reserved in criticising an American to an American. Certainly the visit settled nothing co far as the Congress of Versailles is concerned. The great problems await solution. But I do not think I exag gerate when I say that it lifted AngloAmerican relations to a new level of common understanding and sympathy. The President did not cham pion an Anglo-American alliance as the solution of the present world crisis, but he did promote a better AngloAmerican understanding; and he did It not by emphasising the fact that a certain percentage of American people are of British stock or by stressing the fact of common institutions, but by demonstrating that in the present year of grace Americans and BrltIsh.T.are . facing they came perils with tho same C333ntlal hopes, with pur-

poses which If, not Identical are mutually Intelligible and capable of ultimate fusion. . . This inevitably means co-operation betwen the United States and Great Britain at Versailles, Instead of slowly maturing conflicts of ideas and purposes. And I do not believe that this much of solid gain--and It la a very great deal could have ben even approximately accomplished if the President had remained at home, as many Americans, of whom I was one.rwere convinced he should have done.
