1t is not the greatness of mans means
that makes him independent, so much as the
slnallness of his wants-Corbett.
THE FACT OF CAR SHORTAGE.

One of the first problems the railroad man
agements have to face is the countrywide car
shortage. The railroad administration while
not absolutely denying a shortage at times, is
sued reassuring statements about ability to
meet all the legitimate needs Of the country.
But reports from many industries show that
these we've not met and apparently cannot be
met for time. Now it is the Detroit automo-
bile concerns that are complaining bitterly;
some of them declare they must shut down soon
If transport of materials and products is not
better handled. The steel industry has been
declaring itself badly handicapped for some
months; the presidents action in continuing
fuel control is sufficient commentary on the stu
alton as regards coal.
OF course there is a car shortage. The gov
ernment railroad administration did not build
cars in anything like the number needed norm
ally and the need was and for a long time will
be abnormally great Under the new railroad
law there is hope that necessary equipment can
