tai Line.

Completion OF an intercontinental
railway connecting North and South
America through the Isthmus of Pan
anna Ia urged by Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo, who has just re-
turned to Washington from a South
American cour. Secretary McAdoo SAID
this is n practical undertaking and one
that would cost much less than the
Panama canal.
THE total distance between New
York and Buenos Aires by rail would
be 1880 miles, secretary McAdoo said
Approximately 1900 miles have been
built and are now In operation, Ieav-
ing approximately 1900 miles to be
constructed.
1.-THE principal gaps are in the coun-
tries of Central America and in Colon
bia. Ecuador, and Peru. in South
America. The estimated cost OF con-
struction In, roughly speaking, 0,OOO,-

would require only a relatively small
amount OF additional construction Ia

America will be connected with each
