Views Of Henry Clews.

Until the war ends private enterprise

expressed by Henry Clews, who points out
that building has fallen to q low ebb,
industrial activity is retarded by con-
gestion of railroad facilities, war taxes OF
various kinds cut down the buying power
of incomes. our export trade is under
official control In a word, war conditions
are in complete control
Our railroads may be regarded in
some degree an exception to these con-
ditions. Their requirement for at least
the full war period by the government
partakes somewhat of the nature Of
insurance under current trying condi-
