Decisive Point Forgotten.
To the Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Shiny observation throughout life
has been that any matter. good or bad,
II esitated long enough, can be car
ried through. Consequently. 1t causes
me no surprise that the Street Commit
grant tho Virginia Railway and Power
Company an Increase in fares to be

that me members snnsst o, the tna

But in the consideration OF this mat

cisive seems to have been forgotten. II
you make contract with man by
which he is to perform a definite serv-
tion OF the payment OF a certain sum,
it does not come with good grace for
him to say that. owing to conditions
which have arisen. you should give him
the performance Of that service. The
relation between the city and the street
railway is based on the same principle.
and that should be an end OF the mat
ter. Even If 1t should be found that
the company is not making as much
money IS 1t thinks 1t should, the loss
should not be shifted to the shoulders
Of the people.
It is true that a number of cities
have granted increases to their street
railways. but venture the assertion
tUdt in the fS1t UaJOflty OF these CaseS
the city either had franchise right
to regulate the rates or that this right
was secured to them either by statutory
or constitutional provisions Of the
states to which they belong. Where
the right TO reduce and raise exists
there is often merit in an increase
these days, but in the absence Of such
provision no increase should be grant
ed unless the company agrees that
under moro prosperous conditions Its
rates can be reduced lower than those
In effect at present. The company
would take no risk in making this
agreement, for the courts have
uniformly held that where the fran

Alert to Trade Opportunities

a LERTNESS of the United States section
( \ of the international High Commission to
the necessity OF American business taking
advantage OF the opportunity to secure
large share OF Central and South American
trade as possible before European competi-
ton gets on its feet again is evidenced by
promptly urging upon the Shipping Board
immediate assignment of ships to look after
.thls trade. Secretary McAdoo, who is chair
man OF this section, stresses the Importance
Of such action by the board in the use of
ships at it's disposal.
Following the outbreak of the war, and
prior to Americas entrance, the United
States enjoyed particularly favored position
Tor the expansion Of its trade with these coun-
tries, and it made good use of its opportunity;
but after we were forced into the conflict,
every resource Of the country had to be mobi-
lied to it's successful prosecution, and to
a very great extent our efforts TO build up
this trade slowed down, both from lack OF
transportation facilities and necessity for in
tensifying our effort to win the war as quickly
as possible.
But Our prewsr efforts at cultivating closer
commercial and financial relations with these
republics laid the foundation for future deal
ings with them, which, if promptly improved,
now that hostilites have ended and our ener-
gles are being released for normal direction
in the arts OF peace, should bring to us COM
mercfal rewards Of increasing Importance, as
suring to us the dominant position in the
trade OF these countries in the future. That
now is the opportune time to begin this COM
mercial expansion is emphasized by the pros
tration Of the commerce of Europe, which.
at best, will have to undergo a considerable
period of reimbursement before 1t can enter
into active rivalry with this country to re-
gain what it lost during the war. That its
efforts in this direction will not be needlessly
delayed may be accepted a foregone con-
clusion. 1t is too rich prize to be sur
rendered without fierce struggle.
Fortunately, the United States quits the
war with splendid merchant marine, and,
therefore, in this respect alone is in posi-
tion to compete for trade as never before
having suflciency of bottoms either con-
structed or contracted for, to handle what
ever volume of commerce it may be able to
acquire and retain. It's manufacturing ca
pacity has been greatly augmented, 1t is the
worlds greatest storehouse of raw materials,
and its resources for financing new business,
both foreign and domestic. exceed those of
any other nation With all Of these advan-
tages, it but remains for American effort to
avail of these waiting trade opportunities
with characteristic spirit and enterprise in
the new field to outdistance all competitors
for its exploitation in the fruitful years ahead.
