MAYS RAIL DEFICIT
TOTALS $39,OOO,0OO

Although materially less than the
average for the preceding four
months, the deficit incurred under
the operation of railroads by the
government in May failed to equal
half of the rental obligation of the
government to the roads for that
period.
Figures obtainable today show q
net operating income for the month
OF $3S, $50. 900. with a rental obliga-
ton of s77.426, 900. leaving a deficit of
approximately $39.000,000. The av-
erage monthly deficit for the first four
months of 1919 was $43,5OO.0O0. The
average daily operating expenses last

the January daily average.

Billion in Deposits.

Conservative estimates place the
total deposits in this country from in
dividuals and corporations in foreign
countries generally at more than a
billion dollars. Mexico alone probably
has as much as 100000. 900 on de-
post in the various banks of the
United States In financing exports
to Europe and elsewhere during the
reconstruction period loans must be
made by American banks to foreign
ers who desire to buy American
goods. as well as to American export
ers at home. In the usual course of
banking people borrowing money
must carry balances with the banks
making the loans.
The natural tendency, therefore, will
be for foreign deposits in the United
States to increase. The repeal of the
bothersome tax will foster that ten
dency. Officials of the United States
government in the several depart
ments concerned with foreign trade
never seemed more alert to the neces-
sity for upbuilding foreign trade, es-
tablishing new markets abroad and Civ
ing employment to the hundreds Of

The recent defeat of the Kolchak
forces at Ufa and the reported capture
