Elliott Makes Estimate of Number of
People in United States Inter-
ested Directly or Indirectly
in Railroads
BY HOLLAND

New York, September 2o-(Special)
One feature revealed by the publication of
the list of securities modified by Great
Britain with intent to protect her finan-
cial system is the disclosure which is
made of worldwide loans made by that
country. There was little or no knowl-
edge of the nature or extent of these
loans until the financial exigencies made
it expedient for some publication of the
names of part at least of foreign owned
securities.
In the spring of 1915, American interna-
tional fnanciers who visited London and
mental authorities were told in some de-
tail what the securities held by Great
Britain which represented loans to otnel'
nations were. The amount in the aggre
gate was so great that when these Amer
lean fnanciers returned to the United
States they said to their friends that in
this country there was not the slightest
conception of the magnitude of these re-
sources.
At that time they had not been touched
by Great Britain, although the govern
these securities by English investors the
government would have ample resources
on which to draw if there were occa sion
to do SO. The impression our own finan-
ciers received in the spring of 1915 was
that the British government would as
far as possible utilize American securi-
ties, believing that a plan could be
worked out whereby the English holders
of American securities would lend them
to the government.
The principle resembled some What that
characteristic of American banks some
true ago with respect to the per cent
United States bonds. Many millions of
tiles9 bonds were borrowed, the barHs
agreeing TO r5J at the rate of 1 per cent

TWO MASTERS OF STATISTICS

1t has often been spoken of as some
what interesting coincidence that per-
haps the two ablest masters Of railroad
statistics WERE when he was living,
James j. Hill. and Howard Elliott, pres
ident of the New Haven railroad system.
Both of these railroad executives were
able to go behind the bare figures, dig
out the meaning which they contained
and then SO present the facts that there
corld he a good understanding of the
public of the meaning. This capacity for
getting at the meaning behind statistics,
of which President Elliott is a master,
was well illustrated by his recent state
ment in which he disproves the assertion
that the railroads of the United States
are in the ownership of few persons.
President Elliott estimates that there are
not less than 100000 persons who are
either IN part or entirely dependent upon
the railroads for their incomes. There
are also about 100000 persons who, as
. whole. represent the employees of the
railroad, who are dependent upon tho
"a ilroads for their support. Furthermore,
about +. 900 600 persons are dependent for
tLair support upon the wages received
Nv workers in the railroad machine shops
or other factories. The aggregate, there
fore is 10000 900, or one-fifth of our to-
10, nonulation, who depend for subsist-
anca unon railroad transportation ma
chirery Others who have invested in
these securities represent policy holders.
insurance companies and depositors in
sayines banks President Elliott believes
that Il. 900 100000 a year for the next 10
,,aors must be expended If railroad ia
o;I;ties are made equal to the demands
If the enormous traffic of the country.

NEARLY ALL Modified

The impression in the financial district
is that nearly all of these American Sc
curities held by English investors have
been borrowed or modified by the Brit
ish government That impression is con-
frmed by the fact that the deposit of
securities recently made by Great Britain
in order to secure the new loan of $780,.
10000 contained American securities of
only 500, ZOO, 000
That trade follows the loan is demon
strated by the recent publication of Sc
curities which the British government
now controls. There is a large amount of
Argentine government securities. Almost
every issue in the form of loan made
by Great Britain to Argentina was i'm
mediately followed by increased trade
with that country. That is true also of
Chile, of Japan and of the Scandinavian
government.
The phenomenal progress made by Can
ada In the past 20 years can be traced
directly to the financial assistance given
by Great Britain to Canada, and had it
not been that the European war tied
England's hands for the time being prob
ably increased loans to Canada. princi-
pally for the purpose of railroad extern
sions and improvements, would have
been made.
The estimate is that Great Britain can
now control securities of the aggregate
value of So, 900, 900 600, which would be a
sufficient amount to finance her further
necessities should the war continue an
other year But this So, 600, 0000 900 is only
a small part of foreign securities held
by English investors. An excellent au-
trority is reported recently to have said
