BUILDING IN AFRICA

More Transcontinental Lines Than in

Africa already has the foundation
for one of the completest and most
evenly distributed railway systems or
all the great continents of the world,
observes a writer In World Outlook.
Save Europe, the railways of all the
other great geographical divisions are
largely located in certain highly devel-
oped areas-as in the United States
and southern Canada in North Amerl-
ca, while other regions are left blank
and promise TO remain SO indefinitely
In Africa a vigorous pushing OF any
considerable proportion of the projects
that were in contemplation before the
war will give that continent, decade
hence, not only fairly even network
OF lines over the greater part or Its
area, but also more transcontinHntal
lines-both latitudiral and Longitude
nathan either South America or
Asia will be able to boast of at the
