Irving National Bank Repre-
sentative Says Conditions
Show Great Improvement
Over Carranza Regime

An encouraging report on conditions
in Mexico, political and commercial
has been made by Joseph W. Rowe
representative in that country of the
Irving National Bank, who has lust re-
turned to New York. Not since 1913
when Victorano Huerta was President
has the outlook been so reassuring as
at present, he said yesterday.
"Mexico's recovery since the down
fall of the Carranza regime" Mr.
Rowe declared, "has been rapid. The
new provisio onal government headed by
Adolfo de la Huerta and dominated by
his energy and common sense has ac-
complished in four months what Car
ranza failed to do in six years; it has
pacified the country, All the important
rebel leaders who opposed Carranzs
arc working in accord with the new
government or have been eliminated as
mennces to public life. Travel is safe

"One sign that the country i!

been such demand for credit infor

ing Mexican concerns. The countryi
resources are being exploited on
broader scale than ever before"
One OF the principal disturbing fac
tors in the present outlook, Mr.. Row
said, is the lack Of rolling stock. II
1910 there were some $4,000 cars, o
which 10000 were available for genera
use. Since 1913 half this number hav
beeen worn out and many are beinl
used by the military authorities or ar

Answer-We cannot advise the pur-
chase Of copper shares for investme
purposes. There is always more or less
uncertainty about anything which comes
out of the ground. Many people believe
that the copper shares generally are in
a better position, from a speculative
viewpoint, than for some time past.
The price Of the metal is lower than
IN years, and while operations are not

tloh has been rather we'll discounted bv

cannot afford to speculate we think it
best for you to turn your attention TO
securities of higher grade-those
which are not so sensitive to earnings

does not suggest securities for specu-
latlon Good bonds and seasoned prc-
ferred stocks and sound real estate
mortgages are the best for your pur-

average daily movement of all freight
cars, IN many cases, 20 below twenty
miles day. 1t is one of the respects
IN which the users of railroad trans
portatlon can most effectively show a
spirit of cooperation--by releasing cars
as quickly as possible
Roads Definite Aims
l1omptly upon the granting of in
creosed railroad rates q committee Of
the Association of Railway Executives
met and resolved that its members and
all other carriers be urged to devote
their utmost energies to. the more in
tenslve use OF existing equipment. AS
definite aims 4he roads were urged to
seek, with the cooperation of the pub
lie:
1. "An average daily minimum move
ment Of freight cars of not less than
thirty miles.
2. "An average loading of thirty tons
per car"
The best record of average freight
car movement was twenty miles
in May, 1917. This was under the
stress Of war, but it is believed that
by extraordinary efforts the railroads
can su-pass this record under the de-
mands of peoce. As matter of fact
they have done so in many cases since
this program was announced.
These facts are mentioned to show
that the railroads are very much alive
to their own responsibilities, and that
they arc attacking energetically the
ACCOMPLISHMENTS Of things meaning
done in advance. of the expenditure of
revenue derived from the rate increases
granted the last day of July.
The railroads are not sitting still
and depending upon the future. Rail
road facilities canno. be improvised in
hurry; they must be planned far
ahead. But railroad men are determined
10 get the last possible ounce of trans
rortation out Of the facilities they
lave. They will succeed in q measure
IN any case. They will succeed in much
great measure in the vital matter Of
freight car loading and movement if
they have the cooperation of the pub
lie, and particularly Of the shipper.
From January l to August l the
railroads ordered 1907 locomotives
10 .1G7 freight ears and S22 passenger
cars. rom Their own resources and
trcm the revolving fund provided
under the transportation act they are
adding still further to equipment, and
wkat is quite as important, increasing
track facilities.
Although anything like full results
from increased facilities and more
strenuous efforts is not to be expected
At once, it is encouraging to find that
the railroads, in August, handled q
Srcnter volume Of freight traffic than
ever before moved in that month, even
including the war years 1917 and 1918
For the four weeks ended August %
.he total car loading was 1858 1922, as
compared with 3,5S0,367 in 1919 and
2.S4o ,026 in 1918.

lime was, but fortunately it is no
longer the case, when the public-in-
s'uu,hg many of those who use the rail
ro"us most-did not realize that eff
cent prosperous railroads were essen
VaI TO prosperity in general.
AS long as the railroads were some
.t'ng to be kept in strajtiacket
they could not grow; they could not
prepare themselves for the task of carry
ing inc natlcn's commerce. "Regula-
uon" in those days meant keeping the
railroads barely alive.
we arc now in a new era The man
0aVe Oh Congress to the Interstate
commerce Commission is in effect this:
Make such rates and regulations as Win
chaDle the railroads to supply the peo-
pie Of the United States with ADEQUATE
transportation.
lAls mandate is built upon a sound
interpretation of public opinion. 1t
Spells forward looking cooperation in
stead of antagonsm.
ne position Of the railroads is this {:
Make it possible for us to secure the
money to provide the facilities, and
then If we do not supply the transpor-
'atlon YOU want it is our fault. Rail
soads themselves would be the last to
PIT the responsibility for supplying
good transportation up to the public
Now that it has been discovered that
everybody can help in getting good
transportation; now that the partner
ship of the public and the railroads is
recognized on all sides, the future of
transportation in the United States is
brighter than it has ever been. Those
who have lent capital are encouraged
to lend more. The railroad man is en-
couraged to believe in the prospect Of
reward for his efforts; the shipper has
an encouraging outlook in such prac-
teal matters as adequate car supply
and prompt movement at no higher
rates than the cost of the service re-
quires and future provision for greater
facilities demand.
Need of Cooperation
There is probably no better way Of
showing the practical need Of CO.
operation between shipper and rail
road than 70 state that about one
quarter of the life of a freight car is
spent III the possession OF the shipper
To the sXtent that this length Of time
can be reduced, the amount Of trans
portation that can be got out of the
freight car supply can be increased
he railroads must also increase thelI
average freight car movement, but
they cannot do this alone; they must
have the car before they can move it.
freight car is loaded probably
twenty-five times a year, and for each
loading the shipper is permitted forty
eight hours free time When cat
reaches its destination the receiver
also gets forty-eight hours free time in
which to unload it. This is one Of the
main factors that have reduced the

Answer-l 1t was stated recently by an

that demand is about stationary. but
we expect an increase as general bust
ness recedes. Hard times are our best
days. We have nearly worked off the
goods the government turned back on
US, but this years results will not be
surprisingly good. Our 1920 pack will
