billions to take care of interest pay
ments on debts, retirement of the
principal of debts, extensions and
improvements Of the property, not to
speak of dividends.
But the interest payments alone
called for TT cents out of every dol
lar taken in, because the interest
payable was s475,000,000 a year. In
other words. for the American trans
portation system as a whole merely
to stay inside the bankruptcy danger
line, with no consideration whatever
given to dividends or even to surplus
for permanent improvements. some
CT cents out of every dollar or more
than S400,000,000, had to. be saved out
of the foregoing charges.
Four main items-labor, material
supplies, fuel and taXes-it will be
seen, swallowed up a shade moro
than 92k cents out of every dollar
taken in. With everything else alb
solutely ignored the rest of the dol
lar was not quite enough to pay the
interest on the railroad debts.
If the materials and supplies,
which had cost in round numbers l.
000,000,000, could have been reduced
one-fourth that saving would not
have been enough by upward of $780,
100000 to pay the interest on the
railroad debts. If the $673, 100000 for
coal, which as the railroads buy and
handle it is almost wholly labor costs.
could have been cut in half that re-
duction would not have been enough
hty to1,v mn
equal the interest on the railroad
debts. If the s279,000,000 in taxes
could have been sponged out alto
gether that amount would not have
been enough by about $200.000.000 to
cover the interest on the railroad
debts.
A 10 per cent. reduction of the So
698,216,351 of wages paid in 1920
would not have been enough to make
up the amount required to pay the
interest on the railroad debts. And
still. if the stockholders were never
thought of, there would have re-
manned the problem of earning money
to pay off the principal of debts. to
restore the roads to their old time
physical condition and to build for
the future with the growth of the
country.
That was why. when even at the
staggering toll of $4,000, 900, 900 coll
lected from the public the railway
dollar could not keep the roads eff
cient and solvent. the grossly swollen
payrolls absorbing so per cent. OF all
the receipts had to be adjusted. 1t is
why the payrolls, with the railway
properties still dangerously starved
in respect of the upkeep of roadhed
and other maintenance, must be fur
Their adjusted.

Eliminating the Stockholders
Augusta, Me-, Oct. 26.

The Kennebec Journal,
Dear Sirs:-Hcnry Ford now says
the railroad problem can be settled
only by terminating" the parasite
stockholders" and their dividends.
We have tried that here in New
England and the stockholders of the
Maine Central, Boston & Maine, and
New Haven railroads are down and
out SO far as dividends are concerned.
AT the same time, rates have gone up
and wages have gone down. En-
ployes have voted to strike. Shippers
are bitterly complaining, and justly,
of high freight rates, and the stock
holders are sick at heart. Henrys
remedy doesn't seem to work in New
England. BY the way, when Henry
wanted to eliminate" the parasite
stockholders" in the Ford Motor Car
Company who were "sapping the life
blood" of himself and Edsel, did he
do it the way he proposes "to. elimi-
nate" railroad stockholders, by con-
fiscation, or did he pay fancy price
for their stock? Perhaps the cases
call for different reasoning.

THE NORTHCLIFFE INTERVIEW

Lord Northclffe assumed no new
attitude respecting the relations be-
tween England and the United States
when he told the Japanese press in
an interview at Manila that in event
of a clash on the Pacific, Great Brit
ain without question would support
the United States. He said it
seemed to him inconfeivable that any
contingency could arise which might
menace the invisible but impregna-
BILE bonds that make the English
speaking peoples one in the ultimate
and supreme issues of humanity"
He has consistently cultivated friend
ly relations between England and
America, but saying this just at this
time, on the eve Of the conference,
lends especial significance to his
words and is said to have caused
some perturbation in certain official
circles and the British Embassy at
Washington is reminded Of the snub
given Northcliffe when his dinner in
vitation was recalled after his crti-
cism of Lloyd George.
Whatever may be thought Of the
propriety shown by Northcliffe in
granting this interviewit is interesting
- Ia
the views he has long maintained and
what he has said may interfere some
what with Georges well known de-
sire to drive a diplomatic bargain.
On the other hand it is deplorable to
have personal pique, political finesse
and all the like fiddling for advant-
age arise to confuse the clean-cut
work which is needed and expected.
1t should be said in Justice to
Northcliffe that when he was in the
Philippines he took occasion to make
certain remarks of a nature decided
~ helpful to the United States. He
told the Fihpinos that he was
amazed at the generosity shown by
this country in handling the Philip
pine problem; was deeply impressed
with the school system and frankly
asked the leaders how they could
expect to carry on if America should
get out. He told them President
Harding had sent them in General
Wood man whom Lord Cromer de-
rlared was the most robust and able
administrator of modern times. This
was a service rendered by Northcliffe
which Americans will like to remem-

Augusta, Me, Oct. @

Augusta, Me, Oct. %.
Editor Kennebec Journal
1 am enclosing a clipping from the
New York Times reporting a talk by
Harry Lauder.
1t seems to me in line with our de-
sire for disarmament; should be
pleased to see it published in the Ken
nebec Journal.
The audience was willing to laugh
it's loudeSt at a benefit performance
for the United British Relief Commit
tee of New York at the New Amster-
dam Theatre last night when Sir Har-
ry Lauder wriggled out in front of the
curtain AND stalked with swinging
kits in the bare six inches between the
curtain and the footlights to the CEN
ter of the stage.
Il didna come to make you laugh,
came to talk to YOU he said when the
welcoming shouts died down. "When
heard that you were giving this per-
fought for you and for me, I couldna
keep away.
II was in America when the war
broke out, but l was in London later
and saw the boys marchin' ava with
their boots craShin' on the pavement
and their bayonets cleamin in the sun.
But it's all wrong it's all wrong,
Friendship! Aye. that's bonny
word. the best word in our language
and in any language. But how are we
going to make 1t more than a word?
There is but one way and that is
through q union of the English speak
ing people.
There is France. France that some
of you and that | saw. France is not
SO big as she was before the war. Some
or you own a wee bit of France now
that it is all over. / own a wee bit Of
FRANCE. too" and Sir Harry frightened
MS lips and something glistened be-
hind his steel spectacles as he thought
or his son. the idol Of his life, Can
tain In the Highland Brigade, killed in
action In Flanders during the first few
months of the war.
But it's going to stop" he contin-
uHd. Great things are coming. Great
th'nss VIII he done. Great things must
be done. And there is a way in sight
at the conference at Washington. II
hes for the English speaking people of
the world to make war Impossible. not
Tor generation or two, but for ever
lasting time.
The opportunity has come. We must
not throw II away. Oh. wish I could
yak TO every American boy, I wish
L could foster in him a spirit. not of
ambition for the glory of the battle
field. but of brotherly love.
We've shown that we can be brave
IN the trench and when the guns roar
their loudest. Let's be brave at home.
Let's make II worth while and glorious
to be brave at home. The time has
come: War Is all wrong. It's wrong.
l tell you.
"And now I'll sing you a little song
and Sir Harry left the theatre with the
gallery stamping it's feet to Sing,

How the Railroad Dollar Goes

When railway or any other bust
ness after paying it's running ex-
penscs does not have enough left
over out of all its gross receipts to
pay the interest on its debts it is on
the road to bankruptcy and a re-
Ownership. When it does not have
enough left over to keep up the plant
it is headed for the scrap heap.
Last year the Glass l railroads of
the United States collected from the
American public as operating reve-
nues the colossal total of s6,171 49,
30l. How every dollar of that more
than six billion of dollars taken in
by the railroads went tells the whole
story of what was the matter with
them and why they could not go on
as they were going without both
landing in receiverships and becom-
ing piles of junk. Here is what be-
came of every dollar of the more
than six billions taken in:
