PROPOSED TRUNK RAILWAY FROM
 HUDSON BAY TO BUEN0S AIRES

NEW YORK, March 10 (by Associ- ated Press). of the dream of railroad from Hudson bay to Patagonia and Buenos Aires" has been brought nearer as a result of the recent Pan-American financial con- ference in Washington, according to Charles M. Pepper, who in 1903 was appointed by President Roosevelt, un- der authority of Congress, to visit the several countries from Mexico southward and report on the project.
 A journey by rail from the Arctic ckcls to the tip of South America approximately 10000 miles-could be made under good traffic conditions, it has been estimated, in sixteen to eighteen days. At present twenty-four days are required for the 5,871-mile sea voyage from New York to the capital of Argentina.
 This dream of a ns-hemisphere trunk line, running almost, the entire length of the two American continents, was born in the brain of Hinton Rowan Helper, a Southern writer and former United States consul in South America, more than fifty years ago. The late United States Senator Henry Gass- away Davis of West Virginia, a prac tical railroad builder, saw it's feasibil ity, and with Andrew Carnegie and other wealthy Americans, gave the idea a fresh impetus. James c. ADine also once advocated it.
 The project, however, received first definite form at the International American cdnference held in Mexico City in 1902, when it appointed a per manent American railway com mittee, composed of prominent citi- zens of the United States and diplo- matic officials of Latin-American coun- Senator Davis and Mr. Carnegie were members of it. Later, as the envoy of the President and the representa- tive of the committee, Mr. Pepper went to Central America and South America, and after visiting the vari- ous countries for year, returned and made report which has been the basis of subsequent discussion and legislation
 The general idea outlined in the Pepper report was that the different South and Central American nations in their railway construction should give special attention to the links in Q through intercontinental trunk line North and south, which ultimately would be joined. Attention was also given to the building of branch lines America, on the theory that in time there would be through lines from the Atlantic to the Pacific which would form intersecting systems.
 Subsequent Pan-American confer ences held at Rio Janeio and Buenos Aires approved the idea and contin- ued the Pan-American railway con- mittee. The international high com mission, now renamed as the Inter American high commission, which was the outgrowth of the first Pan-AmeT- can financial conference, ~held in Washington in 1915, also approved the project and urged it's support by the various republics.
 ''In the eighteen years since the jlan was indorsed by the Mexican con- ference," explained MT. Pepper, "con- siderable progress has been made in joining up various railway sections Chile has completed the longitudinal
The Cordova daily times., 1920-03-10

line from Puerto Montt, in the south to the railways in the north which form functions with the main trunk of the Pan-American system.
 'The Transandine line, from Valpa- raiso to Buenos Aires, also has been completed, while the lines joining the Brazilian systems radiating from Rio de Janeiro have been finished, so that they form functions with Uruguayan and Argentine lines.
 The Argentine line was finished to the southern border of Bolivia at La Quiaca several years ago, while Bo- livia has closed up most of the links in her Pan-American trunk line. There are now less than 125 miles in Bolivia to be completed, some of which is also graded, in order to provide through railway connection from BuenOs Aires to La Paz and to the Pacific. It would cost approximately $5,OOO,OOO to com plete it.
 "The group committee on Boliva at the recent Pan-American Financial Conference recommended that a loan be granted Boliva for the purpose of completing this link It was explained that the gauge was the same as that of Argentine lines and an arrangement by which Boliva could use Argintine rolling stock was suggested"
 By a coincidence MT. Pepper who made the Pan-American Railroad re- port under President Roosevelt, was a member of the group committee on Boliva. He also was railway advisor to the Committee on transportation. This committee adopted a resolution offered by~Martinez Vargas, of Boliva, for calling a Pan-American Railway Conference further to consider the subject of railway operation, inter- change of traffic, standardization of rates and financing This resolution, as amended by the Committee on Resolutions and adopted by the re- cent conference, provided for referr ing the calling of such a meeting of Pan-American representatives to the Inter-Americsan High Commission. Just when the trans-he emisphere rail- road conference will be called has not yet been determined.
 Argentine's keen interest in devel oping the Pan-American trunk line project was indicated by Dr. Ricardo c. Aldao, a member of the Argentine Financial Commission, not only at the conference in Washington but also in his address at the recent banquet of the Pan-American Society here. It was later pointed out by others that Argentine now has an 1,O0-mile rail road from Buenos Aires to the Boli- vian border, much of it built by Bri tish capitalists whose interests in South America are estimated at $4,- 0,000, ,000, half of which is said to be in Argentinea. The Argentine govern ment, it is said, controls this line France and Belgium also have heavy South American railroad Investments The war, it is said, has made it vir tually impossible for European coun- tries to continue their financing of South America and this is why delega- tions from Columbia, Peru, Chile, Bra zil Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay and other South American lands have vis- tied the United States in recent years to awakan American investors to what they call "a big investment opportun- ity''. The proposed trunk line would run from the United States through Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Ecador, Peru, almost the entire length

of Chile and from La Quiaca, Boliva to Buenos Aires. From this mail line would be connecting roads, some al ready completed, extending like fin gers in many directions toward the Atlantic ocean.
