This resulted fr m the striking off of all interest that might have accumulated on the $171.780,000 of pre-ar mist ice debt. On the balance of the loans, interest at the rate-of 4.5 per cent was assumed to have accrued until Dec. 15. 1922, when the British deb t settlement became effective. From Dec. 15. 1922. until June 15. 1925, the Belgium postarmistice borrowings were assumed to have had a charge of 3.5 per cent interest against them, making the total principal and interest on the latter date. $246,000,000. The terms of settlement call -for complete payment within 62 years, with part f the interest waived during the first 10 years. The total amount to be paid will he $556,050,500. of which $310.will be interest at 3.5 per cent. ' o___* The Department of Agricul"turv has $238,266.16 it doesn’t krtow what to do with. This government collected a large sum in excess profits on wool in 1918 part of which has been returned to the growers, but it is impossible to obtain a record of the owners of. this balance, lit will probably be turned into the treasury as miscellaneous receipts.

NO MORE FREE .UR It is a noticeable fact that dur-1 ing the past three or four years there has not been any extensive activity in laying trolley tracks. On the other hand many lines are being abandoned. Railroads too, have not been laying any new lines, and in many, places hundreds of miles of track will soon be abandoned. The “bus business” has come to stay. It cannot be classed “un-i fair” competition because it is a result of popular demand and evolution over old and inconvenient transportation systems. Present indications are that before most of the railroads wake up to the situation another, and more dangerous competitor will be well established—the commercial and passenger airplane. Just what effect on railroad stocks and bonds will be is problematical, but already the big financiers are casting about to devise ways and means of “controlling” both bus and air transportation systems. The first question to be decided is the ownership of the air, and a commission is now studying that proposition. If it can be controlled by "rights-of-way” under federal grants the balance will be easy. The next generation may see the passing on an ageold adage, that the only free thing in the world is the air we breathe. It may become monopo-1 lized.

FABULOUS GOLD FIELDS I By a queer twist of fate Soviet Russia finds itself owner of the world’s greatest gold fields. The lure of the glistening metal has sent a toiling army of prospectors into the frozen heart of Asiatic Russia. Along the Lena, the Aldan and the Tommot rivers, where the Sin mountains tower above primeval wastes of snow, men dig like ants in the frozen ground. The prospectors are chiefly Chinese, Japanese and Koreans, with only a few Americans. Since all land is state property in Soviet Russia, the mines belong to the state. Speculators rent the ground space from the government paying from ten to forty pounds of gold per year. This varies according to the richness of the “find”. Russia as a state expects to reap sufficient revenue from this source to practically pay all expenses of government. With its government oil, government gold, government aluminum and minerals!, Russia will one day be the richest nation in the world. ch— New York authorities state that fruit and vegetables are hauled an average distance of 1,500 to that city. It is also estimated that it requires 150,000 freight cars. About §0 per cent of the final sale prise goes to ■ retailers, jobbers, wholesalers and shipping organizations.
