new YORK TO RUSSIA'S
CAPITAL BY RAIL, IS
CAPITALIST SCHEME
(By United Press)

Winnipeg, June IA through
railway route from the United States
to Petrograd by way of Canada.
This ambition Of United States
Capitalists has been outlined In
lengthy report to the Winnipeg
Grain Exchange. The scheme ha'
been considered for some time ant
NEGOTIATIONS with the railways ant
governments which will be involved
In the project will be opened in thu
near, future. .:..
Increased transportation to thu
westward. without running the risl
of submarines sinking ships, and as
sistance in the war for Russia with
munitions and food will result il the
proposed connection is established.
- The plan provides for standard
railway line, connecting United
States roads through British Colum-
lJia and Alaska with Behring strait
and a line from the, Siberian coast
to the Trans Siberian railway. ~.
Large ferries would carry freight
and passenger cars across the Sc
mile wide strait, a. - "a.
:. Negotiations have been opened
with the Russian government to i'm
prove the Trans Siberian railway in
to a modern road instead Of 3 print
tive stretch Of track overburdened
by war transportations. The United
States commission to Russia will
take up that phase Of the proposed
line with the new Russian govern
ment.
Men back of the undertaking be-
lieve that within few years an
International railway will connect
New York with Petrograd. They
are taking into consideration the pos
sibility of the war lasting several
years. The promoters of the project
are satisfied that future benefits
would justify the vast financial out
lay that will be necessary. They de-
clare that a few years of worlds
peace would make the most import
ant railway route on earth.
