Car Congestion in East

One Of the problems which the Inter-
state Commerce Commission will try
to solve in its efforts to alleviate the
freight car congestion throughout the
country will be to move to the West
the great number of grain and box cars
that are now sidetracked somewhere
IN the East. Up to the present the
West has been unable to get them,
badly as they are needed to ship food
stuffs to market. Open top cars, which
at this time of the year should be in
the East to carry coal and ore from
the mines, are somewhere in the West
in large numbers. This condition will
also receive the attention Of the In er-
state Commerce Commission Another
factor that has hindered a free move
nent of fuel Westward has ben the
lateness in the opening up of the Great
Lakes. over which route the Northwest
gets much of it's coal. All of these
factors making for one of the worst
transportation tie-ups in the history
of the country, have also accounted for
the tremendous amount Of frozen
credit" now unavailable for other bust
ness purposes.

Hopeful on European Outlook

Alvin W. Krech, president of the
Equitable Trust Company, who re-
turned to his desk yesterday after u
trip of several weeks in Europe, ex-
pressed himself as being much more
optimistic over the foreign situation
than he was on his preceding visit
abroad last winter. Europe is get
ting back to work" declared Mr..
Krech. "She is finding that her evils
of adversely are less injurious than
our own evils of prosperity" Asked
what he thought Of the implication in
morning newspaper cables that the
Allies would ask the United States to
aid in financing their debt the head
of the Equitable Trust Company gave
it as his opinion that such a plan
would not be attempted, in as much
as the War Finance Corporation, the
chief credit instrument of the govern
ment, would soon go out of business.
