ward the restoration of normal conditions. The Vera

tories can be completed it announced The Southern
Pacific of Mexico has already been renqushed TO pm
vate ownership The restoration Of other lines is to
follow as soon as possible
The return of the railways to their owners will be
of benefit to the general public in Mexico and to
ers of properties the success of whose operations de-
ponds greatly facility with which exports Of prod
ucts and imports of supplies be made. Under gov
eminent tenure the railroads have completely suberdi
mated all other traffic to military governments Re-
lnquishment BY the government indicates belief that
the military exigency has passed
It will be possible too, for the owners having reganed
control of their railroad lines to make bridge and track
repairs which have made passenger and freight
ments precarous and to replenish the rolling stock,
much of which is in a deplorable condition
From the viewpoint, therefore, of the railroad owners
