The measures of relief proposed by the
commission will not in our opinion
adequately meet the existing situa-
tion,' he added.
The annual statements Of all the
railroads involved In this proceeding
combined. for the fiscal year ending
June so, 1913, show roundly that the
total operating revenues during that
year were approximately s53000,000
less than during the previous year.
while the operating expenses during
the same period were approximately
S1S.OO0,0O0 greater.
The net operating income of these
companies for the same period amount
ed to S25S. 900, or approximately ST.
100, 900 less than was earned during the
previous year, and equal to but 1888

ut is known that the railroads of the
United States have over 100000, 900 of
outstanding obligations Which will ma
ture and must be met within the next
twelve months alone. 1t was shown in
the original record In this case that
the railroads in official classification
territory only had spent approximate
ly S2O0,00O,0QU per annum upon their
properties for improvements and. ex-
tensions during the last ten-year Pc
Rod, and IL will be necessary to con-
tinue such expenditures IL the roads

vice and provide for the growing needs
OF the future.
Further. as nearly as can be ascer-
tanned. there are more than 50, 900, 00O,-

securities held abroad as investments
The demands for cash In Europe, grow
!nE out of the present situation, will
doubtless result In large selling of
such securities when the markets are
again opened.
with all this in mind it will read
lily be seen that the available supply

that should reductions be shown To be
warranted. the railroads would not op-

ATTITUDE NOT CHANGED
Government Opposes Loanx by AmerI.
cans TO HeIliGerent Nntions

WASHINGTON, October 19.-Presi
dent Wilson reiterated to-day that the
American governments attitude to-
wards loans by Americans to bel
lserent nations in Europe had not
changed. This attitude. set forth sew
eral weeks. ago by Secretary Bryan,
is that the government considers such
loans as not in the spiiit of true
neutrality"
Reports that the administration had
changed it's position have. been circu-
lated rs result of the publication of
an opinion from high government Of
fetal that under international law the
United States had no right 10 prohibit
loans to belligerent nations Officials
explained that this opinion and the
Presidents statement were consistent
Secretary Bryan did not claim the gov
eminent had II legal right to prevent
loans.
