bring about renewal of the od-time

Their relations always have been cor

increasing desire that they become some
thing more. Germany does not look for
any specially defined political agreement
or understanding that might give rise to
approximations in the case of any other
power. My hope simply is that the rela-

become more closely assimilated to the

Denial by President Finley.

In some quarters it has been represent
ed that our work has been stopped and
our forces reduced as measure of re-
ta!iation against adverse state legislation.
In no case has this been true. The COM
pany has not been governed by any but
sound business considerations such as
, must govern a railway as we'll as any
other business enterprise. Our current in
come Is insufficient to provide the funds
necessary for extensive Improvements and
betterments. These can only be provided
for now. as in the past, by obtaining w
capital Present financial conditions and
the present attitude of investors toward
! railway securities are such that it is iii
| possible. for the moment, to sell railway
securities on a basis that any business
! concern, managed in accordance with
| sound business principles, would be justi-
| fled in accepting. 1t has. therefore. been
| necessary to postpone many important
| projects and Improvements. Only those

on which work has progressed SO far that
the public and the railway can receive the
benefit of their completion at an early
date. Other projects have not been aban-
doned. but will be carried out just as soon
as conditions are such that the necessary
capital can be secured
The reductions in shop forces and the
reductions in expense of administration
wherever It has been proper to make them
have in every instance been made in con-
formitY with sound business principles
During the past nine months the shops
of the company have been running with
full forces and substantial progress has
been made in repairing the equipment of

spirit of retaliation. but forces have been

Alleged Retaliation.

The politicians claim that the railway
company has coerced public sentiment by
suspendins all improvements in the sta te.
The Southern railway. for example. was
mountaineering. its line, taking out curves
and cutting down grades and had plan
ned million dollar terminal at Charlotte
It Is charged that all these betterments
were Immediately suspended when the
Legislature reduced rates and that the
people were Informed that they would not
be resumed unless the old rates were re-
stored
President Finley of the Southern Rail
way Company answers me that this is
not true. The policy of our company"
he said the other day. has been concilia-
tory from the start. Certain improve
ments have unfortunately been arrested
but for reasons entirely distinct from any
state legislation. We are anxious to find
basis of compromise for all controver-
sizes. We ask fair rate and a re willing
to give the best service We can for it
The urgent need of increased and improv-
ed transportation facilities in the south

the management of the Southern Railway
Company 1t Shall continue TO be the
policy of the company in the future AS
