French RaiI,Uay Problems
CFrom the New York Herald) .

French railways have suffered
even more grievously than our own
common carriers from the evils OF
inflated costs and wages and shorter
working hours. Economist Consul
Westcott at Paris has transmitted
TO the Department OF Commerce the
official report an 1921 operating re-
suits OF the seven French systems,
including the one in Luxembourg and
Alsace-Lorraine. The operating def
icit totaled 1.7O1,O39,4 ,434 francs. or
about $17O.OOO.OOO at present ex-
change rates. compared with
deficit in 1920 Of 1,5SO.s49.51l francs
or about $4,000, 900 at the rate of
exchange a year ago.
The increased deficit, It should be
noted. does not threaten the lnan-
cial position Of the roads. because
the French Government under the
law passed last June, pledges itself
to indemnify the companies out of
the Treasury or out OF a common
fund consisting of the pooled sur
pluses N the railroads. In the last
year passenger fares have risen from
20 10 80 per cent. and freight rates
from 1870 TO 14O per cent, which ac-
counts for the increase in gross re-
receipts. as shown in the exhibit be-

other day and there was a violent
commotion at the red end OF the

and the problem was to bring these

post MARKHAM harmony.
As was TO be expected, the dark
Reds medium Reds and pale Reds
took their differences much more
seriously than the outside world is
capable OF taking them. A year or
TWO ago Lenlne and Trotzky set up
a Third Internatonale. which was

get the best results from a simple

can use this at a cost OF about
