ECONOMY SHOWN IN
 RAILROAD BUILDING
Cost of Railroad Will Be Less Than 25oo Above Original Estimate
 of Four Years Ago

II tho prices of railroad material
 supplies and equipment had not in-
 creased In the last four years th' cost Of Che governments railway in
 Alaska. completed, would not have exceeded $33.S7456332. The csti-
 mate in 1915 for tho construction
 Of Che system was S86,OOO,OOO, SO ii
 no change had occurred since then
 in market conditions. Che total out
 lay would have been less than he
 original calculation by $l,l25,-
 43G.6S.
 Everything required in railroad
 construction labor, fcod for mess camps. tools. rails. lumber for tica and bridges. locomotives and ears for work trains advanced cont.nu-
 ously during the progress Of the
 world war until now cost prices i'm many instances, arc three and four times higher than they were when the building of tho government rail- road was first undertaken. Yet
 even if thcrc should be no decline in present high prices, only nine million odd dollars, in excess Of tho original estimate. will be needed to
 complete tho federal transportation system. In other words, while prices ceneraly are 5O to 400 per cent higher than formerly, the cost of the government railroad will be only about % per cent more than the or iginal estimate of four years ago.
 Two important factors have opor- ated to keep down thc average of the cost of construction They are the ownership by the railroad of coal mines. from which an necessary fuel supplies arc obtained, and the pur-
 chase at one time in 1917 of largo
 quantity of material, supplies and equipment. some Of which is still on hand
 "m going over tho figures of tho cost of Che railroad" said William Gerig. engineer in charge of tine An- chorare division. who has just conn
 pleted a financial statement Of thc outlay necessary to build the entire system on thc basis of prices in 1915. "there are two things quite notice able. One is a saving of S35O,oOo that has been effected by thc Com- mission in using tho coal produced at the Easa and Chickaloon mines. 1T the Commission. instead Of open ] ing and operating these mines, had bought in Che States and shipped Go Seward and Anchorage the coal
 needed in construction and opera ton. its expenditures would have been S35O.OOO in excess Of what they are Co tho present time. The other noticeable saving was chccted
 by the purchase of large quantity
 of supplies in 19l7 lf these sup plies instead of having been bought
 at one time m 1917, had been pur-
 chased at various times In l9l7 1918 and 1919. their cost. on ac-
 count of the rising market during
 the war. would have been a great deal more than it actualy was.

From news dispatches it would seem that the cordial feeling that at one time eX- istcd between the American soldiers and the citizens of the occupied territory of Germany is somewhat strained.

While hatly denying any intent to pre- diet "coullagratiou in Europe " Frank A. VmdcrIip. American fnancier, paints a dark picture of conditions in the Old World.
 Men are idlc-waut and idlcness are promoting disorder industry has receiv- ed "such a shock as cannot be measured by those who have mot seen Europe at close range"
 The situation, Inc declares, is one which calls for outside help. The New World must aid in the rehabilitation of the nations which have suffered most severely as a re- suit ol the war.
 To effect this end, the New York tinan- ricr proposed Co the Pm-Amcrican Confer curc at Washington the formation of a rroup of nations. made mp of the Latin American republics. the United States and some European ucuuuls, to lend aid to at- Hirtcd Europe in the form of materials, machinery. equipment and food.
 Commenting on his project, the speaker vigorously opposed the extension of oddl- fiouaI government loans to foreign admin i,ratiouS and added there was general idca m Europe that the United States ough. to rorcgo the loans it made during thc war
 Mr. Vmdcrlp has been disposed to view thc situation abroad most seriously ever since his initial visit following the conclu- sion of hustiIitics or his sincerity there cannot bc thc slightest doubt whether he urrhaus i, ovcrcstimatiug the danger is an- other matter
 In amy event, there is no diSomtmg wisdom of his practical advice relative to thc extension of aid to industrial Europe; aIthough some steps recently taken by AL icj states. notably England and France, may render it decidedly difficult for the New World ro do all 1t would desire or all that thc Old World may deem necessary. Import cmbargocs operate as much or more to tbc dctrimrut of the latter than of the former aud means must be found to get around them if Vmdcrlip's plan is to be carried out.
 Just as ships and more ships was the crv or thc Allies last wear. SD the cry of all the industrial states of Europe today is ..raw materials and more raw materials. "
 The food situation will be less desperate when thc crops of 1919 are harvested. but until tine flow of raw materials has attained normal proportions, industrial conditions vii improve very slowly.
 Government loans alone will not Iuigmcu out affairs ou the other side In fact. it would be better in every way to handle alI rmc operations, financial and commercial. through private agencies here and abroad. thus rccstoblishiug trade con ucctious of concerns which, during the war. were mere agencies of the government ifthcy .mcioucd at all
 In brief Europe needs to get back on a normal basis. It can do ths only through the encouragement of private initiative Public ad cannot be withdrawn abruptly but Mr. Nmdcrlip makes it clear that con ditious will show an improvement just in that proportion that that private enter prise is compelled to stand ou its own feet Seattle Times.
