aid says: The trade of the United
States with the Orient, Australia and
New Zealand amounting to over $50
millions annually and of Canada with
the same counties has been dealt a
severe blow by trans-continental rail-
roads which have decided to abandon
large portion Of this business. By
the same actions the railroads con-
trolled by Edward H. Hartman,
James ]. Hill, the Berwynd syndicate
and the Canadian government have
made it possible. it is asserted, for
the Japanese government to realize
speedily its ambition to become the
master of all trade in the Pacific seas.
In SO doing the roads are carrying
out the threat which was made to the
interstate commerce commission at
the time that body issued what is
known as rule Sc. Its displeasure at
this rule and the belief upon the part
of the railroad managers that they
cannot comply with it except at a
severe peril Of their revenues on
domestic business, which caused them
to abandon he Oriental trade. The
rule in question requires the railroads
to publish the inland proportions of
their imports and export rates and as
subsequently modified by the COM
misston5 not to change these rates
