When railroad which in many re-
spects is the soundest and strongest
in the world does business well in
excess of S50,000,00O a month and out
of every dollar it takes in can retain
less than two cents for all other pur-
poses than operating expenses, inter-
est charges and taxes; when that is
all that is left to pay dividends to
more than 100000 stockholders, to
preserve the financial standing of the
property and to warrant further capi-
tai investment in it to enable the
growth of the railroad to keep pace
with the growth of the country-when
such a thing as that could be possible
with the great Pennsylvania Railroad
something had to be done to better
the condition Of railroads generally
or the whole American transportation
system would have gone to smash.

I have rugged me barque of Dreams
And with slant sails wide unfurled

In quest Of wonder world
I would make for the Bourn OF Joy
Set i'm q shining sea
Till the mailman cries "ahoy"
Come and voyage with me

For guide through the purple dark
There shall be n star that glows---

A white swan glides across the little

American Gold for Germany.

When Mr.. MoKENNA, the great
English banker and former Chancel-
lor OF the British Exchequer, speaks
of the necessity of an American loan
to Germany he does not speak in the
spirit of disapproving criticism Of us.
On the contrary, he refers to foreign
barriers in the way of such loan.
Mr.. McKENNA is not unmindful of
the steps taken only a few months
ago by j. p. MORGAN and other Amer
lean bankers toward raising an inter-
national gold loan for Germany. He
does not mean that American finance
was not willing to do its share under
the proper conditions of which he
speaks; he knows that any loan 10
be worth while in the stupendous
German situation would have to be
a very big loan. Very big gold loans
in existing conditions are out of the
question for any country but the
United States, with the possible ex-
ception of Great Britain. And very
big loans do not come from banks;
they come from the public represented
and served by the banks.
What put an end to the Paris con-
| ferences which the world bankers
/ held with a view to a possible Ger
man loan was the prior reparations
claim on the assets of Germany. Not
all the allied Powers would consent
TO waive any of the binding force of
that reparations first mortgage. But
with no security to offer those that
were invited to become new lenders
to Germany the international bank
ers said it would be useless to try to
place the German loan among the
lenders of the world.
The British representatives at the
conference agreed with Mr.. MORGAN,
spokesman for the American bank
ers, that there must be a partial
waiver of the reparations first mort
gage before it would be practical to
invite anybody to participate in such
loan later. American and British
bankers are still agreed as to the
great need of an international loan to
Germany, and they are still agreed
that it can be raised only on the
basis of security at least on par
with the reparations mortgage.
Perhaps. therefore, Mr. McKENNA,
who naturally is closely familiar with
the whole financial situation in
Europe and with the banking atti-
tude in this country, is hopeful that
the time is near when all the allied
Powers will see that they cannot get
reparations payments that amount to
anything without an international
loan to Germany, and that there can
not be an international loan to Ger
many that amounts to anything
without the security now prohibited
by the rigid enforcement of the terms
of the Versailles treaty and the repa-
rations agreement. And if that time
has come what America does as her
share of lending gold to Germany will
be worth more to the allied Powers,
in respect of what it would help Ger
many to accomplish in the way of
actual reparations payments-the
American gold would be worth great
deal more to the allied Powers than
a dozen reparations first mortgages
that do not and cannot yield real
money.
American gold never will be drawn
to Germany on the basis of being
merely thrown into the reparations
pot to be boiled away.

How Railroad Dollars Went.

What happened to every dollar the
great Pennsylvania Railroad system
took in for 1921 tells the story simply
but vividly of the troubles and trials
of American railways. Including
taxes the operating expenses of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in that year
were 5000, ,10S, of which the pay
roll accounted for $362,135,423
This is the way every dollar that
was spent by the Pennsylvania in
1921 was divided:

Halt in the Mudania Conference.

The meeting at Mudania to arrange
an armistice, which started out with
indications of being of short dura-
tion, has come suddenly to a halt
This break in the negotiations is due
TO cause which had been forecast
as likely to lead to trouble-the in
ability to limit the discussion to the
purely military aspect of the situa-
tion and to distinguish between the
province of the soldier and that of the
diplomat in the settlement of Near
East dispute. A report from London
says that a meeting of the Cabinet
was called at midnight, adding that
"only in the bitterest days of 1914
were the British heads summoned to
Downing Street at such an hour"
Lord CURzoN, who was last week in
conference with Premier PoINcARE,
has been again sent to Paris.
LORD CURzoN's purpose at Paris is
evidently to discover just what agree
ments FRANKLIN-BoUMLoN Frances
envoy to the Nationalists, made
with KENrAL at Smyrna prior to
the Mudania conference. None of
the several versions which have been
made public seemed to embody the
points for which Great Britain has
contended. They report instead the
acceptance of the Nationalists' de-

tory in dispute in advance of their

question of territory belongs properly

What Real Transit Means.

When Chairman MCANENY of the
Transit Commission went before the
Board of Estimate the other day to
explain certain transportation plans
formulated by the body Of which he
is the head it was evident that some
members of the board did not easily
understand. Even the Mayor COM
planned that all was not clear to him.
Perhaps there is a similar confusion
in the minds of many laymen. If
there is then one sentence from Gov
ernor MILLER's speech of Thursday
night should help to clear the air. He
was describing the general purpose
of the Transit Commission and he
said:
'It is to acquire for the city with
out the investment of a single dollar
of city money. without using single
dollar of the city's borrowing power,
to acquire and TO buy up, with the
municipality owned system as the
background, all of the public utilities
which are worth while to be ac-
quired and when that has been done
TO inaugurate q unified system of OPP
Grafton under which people shall be
carried throughout this city for one
fare, and that FIVE cent fare"
Nothing could be clearer than this
1t is the Governors purpose and the
Transit Commissions plan to give
to the city of New York a single
system and a single five cent fare
instead of a number of systems and
variety of fares which ranges from
five sto fifteen cents and averages
about seven cents.
