 He saw the foreign roads - in England and France, the best in Europe = and in other Con- tnental countries = and he knows.
 The part railroads have played in the develop ment of the United States is beyond measure
 American railroads have achieved high stand ards of public service by far-sghted and courage investment of capital, and by the constant striving of managers and men for rewards for work well done.
 We have the best railroads in the world we must continue to have the best.
 But they must grow. To the $20,OOOOO0,OOO now invested in our railroads, there will have to be added in the next few years, to keep pace with the nations business, billions for additional tracks, stations and terminals, and engines, electric power houses and trains automatic signals, safety devices, the elimination of grade crossings = and for recon struction and engineering economies that will re- duce the cost of transportation.
 To attract to the railroads in the future the in- vestment funds of many thrifty citizens, the direct ing genius of the most capable builders and man. agers and the skill and loyalty of the best work men = in competition with other industries bid ding for capital, managers and men = the railroad industry must hold out fair rewards to capital to managers and to the men.
