QUARTER BILLION
YEARLY REQUIRED
Railroad Spokesman Says New
CAPITAL Cannot Be Obtained
Unless Reassured BY
... Government.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Railroads will
need $3.50, 900 900 additional capital
annually for the next 10 or IL years to
increase their facilities to handle the
Country's growing commerce, Alfred P.
Thorn, counsel for the railroad eXecu-
tives' advisory committee. told the con-
gressional railroad investigating COM
mittee today continuing his statement
on behalf of the railroads begun yester~
day. About $3.50, 600, 900 a year additional
will be required, he said, to refund ma
turing Indebtedness.
To protect investors, Mr.. Thorn Sug-
gested that federal regulation should
replace the present system of authority
divided between the states and the
central government. He cited examples
OF injustice and hampering of raiiorad
financing caused by state officers.
Referring TO the need of additional
railroad facilities, Mr.. Thom said:
1T has been found that the wealth
of the country has been increasing at
the rate of 8 or 8 per cent a year, and
that the same ratio of increase has held
good as to the demand for t~ransporta-
ton. AS the forces which have affected
the growth n development of the past
apparently continue in full operation
and may be expected to continue for
the next 10 or Is years at least, the in
vestrnent in railroad facilities to meet
the large requirements of the future
must consequently grow at a cores
ponding annual rate of increase
The estimate of 81, $50, 600, 900 for adj
ditional transportation facilities in
clude nothing for extensions into new
territory, he said.
Where is this money or any sum APP
preaching it to be found?" asked Mr.
Thorn. "This problem is one of vital
interest to the public because on its
successful solution, depends the com
mercial facilities of the country. Would
1t do to confront the investor, when
asking for this great investment with q
situation where the revenues of the
railroads are not subject to the contro,
of the investors, but are fixed and
limited not only by governmental au-
thority but by many uncoordinateC
state authorities in no way responsible
to each other, and where the rail
roads canno control and the govern
ment cannot and does not limit the
expense a~ccount?"

RUM0R PRESIDENT
WILL NOT OPPOSE
EMBARGO ON FOOD
New York Sun Claims Positive
Information President Will
Not Oppose Restrictive
Legislation.
WOULD REDEEM PLEDGES
Deemed Politically Advisable to
Keep Promise to Enforce
Reduction Of High
Cost of Living.
WOULD REDEEM PLEDGES

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 25.--Today's
New York Sun says it has reliable in
formation that the president will give
taclt consent for foodStuffS embargo
legislation and will not oppose the plan
of Representative Fitzgerald for an
embargo.
1t is said that the administration
wants to see the promise to reduce the
cost Of living kept.
The fact that Secretary Lansing has
said the state department would not
interpose objections. is looked on as
significant.
Several days age President Wilson.
grange, intimated that he was opposed
to an embargo on food. He also took
the position that as long as America
had food to spare at all, humanity at
large had just claim to share it.
Mr.. l%ansina's View.
The first intimation that the govern
ment would not oppose the food m
barge came yesterday from the state
department, Secretary Lansing declar-
ing that the forbidding of food exports
was not an international matter and
that as long as other countries had
taken similar measures. the United
States right to impose similar %restric-
tons as a measure of domestic neces-
sity would not well be questioned.
Representative Fitzgerald, of New
York, chairman of the Hous finance
committee. has announced that he will
press an embargo resolution for hear
ing when congress in De-
cember.
A hard fight on the question is ex-
pected. Representatives from the farm
ing regions are expected to fight the
resolution, though not as bitterly as
might be expected. 1t is pointed out
here that the arner already have sold
the bulk of their 1916 crops and that
the only interests that might be adj
versely affected by an embargo on ex-
ports would be the commission dealers
and middle men who nave purchased
supplies at the present range of prices.
Waqe Raise Not Adequate.
The cost of living situation is grow
ing acute n both congressman and
government officials realize that some
restrictive measures are necessary.
Though the country is prosperous and
labor generally well employed at high
er wages than ever before, it Is patent
that the increase In the pay envelope
has not kept step the past few months
with the advance in commodity prices.
Petitions for relief, bearing thousands
congress when 1t convene this
month.
Won't Oppose It.
White House officials threw cold
water on reports the president would
support a food embargo, but did not
make formal denial. The belief here is
that the president will not back a food
embargo but h a he may hold aloof
from Interfering with congressional
action and take a passive attitude at
least for II time.
