GREAT AREAS STILL
UNDEVEIOPED

This question is answered BY an
examination of the accompanying
map showing the land and water
transportation facilities of the world
and noting the enormous land areas
yet awaiting transportation facilities,
to enable them to send their possible
products to the waters edge where a
now plentiful supply Of steamships
will be available to carry them across
the ocean to the sections of the world
which do not produce enough for
their own requirements. 1t will be
seen that the interior areas Of four
of the six grand divisions of the
world, South America. Africa. Asia
and Australia, are yet lacking in
railway facilities to enable them to
move their possible products to the
waters edge. The shipbuilding ac-
iivities of the war and the years which
immediately followed it have given to
the world ample facilities for trans
porting merchandise on the oceans,
but railway construction has been
practically suspended since the be-
ginning of the war and when we ex-
anime the maps of the continents
above named it is apparent that they
have within their respective interiors
enormous producing areas which,
have no facilities for moving their
products or possible products to the
waters edge.
South America. for instance, with
an area of 100000 square miles has
but $1,000 miles of railway while the
United States with an area less than
half that of South America has 49,
600 miles. Africa, with an area of
100000 square miles has but 81
600 miles of railway while Europe
with an area onc-thrd as much as
that of Africa has $4,000 miles of
road. Asia, with an area more than
FIVE times that of the United States,
has less than one.tl,ird as much rail-

would probably 6e1ess than the world
average for they would be chiefly oon-
structed in areas now sparsely popu.
lated and therefore the right of way"
including the cost of the land actual
" utilized by them would be in most
cases nominal and in other instances
where the population is dense bat
wages low the labor cost of construc-
ton would be comparatively small
though this would be in some de-
gree Offset by the higher prices now
prevailing and also by1 the cost Of
transporting the rails and equipment
which would necessarily be brought
from other parts of the world. The
cost of railway construction, Of
course, varies greatly not merely ia
relation to the physical characteris-
tics OF the areas through which they
run but especially in the sums de-
manded for right of way, and the
land on which the roads are built. Rail-
way construction in certain countries
OF Europe where the population was
already dense and lands and existing
buildings of an expensive character
was extremely costly and in certain
of the European countries which were
fully developed prior to the advent
OF the railway the cost including tho
right of way and land upon which
they were built brings the present e.
timate of capital per mile" to from
$l5O,OOO to $25O,000, while in the.
new countries where railways pre-
ceded population the capital per mile
IS stated at less than half that in the
older and already developed COM
munities, averaging from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile, as against $4,000
to $4,000 in the more dcnsdy popu-
lated countries of Europe.
Recent tabu1ations by the Bureau Of
Railway Economics and other high
authorities put the met capitalization"
per mile of the railroads of tho
United States at $6S,787, while the
capital per mile in the European
countries (Which were already devel-
oped when railway construction oc-
curred) is double and in some cases
treble that of the United States. The
capital per mile" of the railways of
France Exclusive of state railways)
is stated at $1,000, and the United
Kingdom $274605. In dcnsely popu-
lated Japan the capital per mile IS
set down at SILL while in the
newer countries where railways pre-
coded density of population the cost
is much lower, ranging from $24,S39
in Western Australia to $6OO43 in
New Zealand, and $65,7l4 in Canada.
The total capitalization of all the
railways of the world apparently ap-
proximates $4,000, 900, 600 towering
the 100000 miles of road. suggesting
an average cost of $4,000 per mile,
while as above suggested the cost per
mile in the areas not yet developed
would, even at the present higher
prices, probably be materially below
the world average of earlier years.

The Federal Reserve banks now
hold a much larger amount of gold
than is needed to support all the
credit requirements of American in
dustry and agriculture, according to
the committee on Unemployment and
Business Cycles, appointed by Herb

which has just made its report. One
Of the propositions brought forward
By the investigators, who have been
seeking a way to guard against
future periods Of depression such as
those which have always followed
prosperity in the past, is to set aside
d special reserve of this gold against
the foreign demands that will come
with resumption of normal world
business, thus removing from the
field Of temptation an easy means Of
inflatipg American credits to the
danger point.
Banks are urged by the report to
use extreme precaution in granting
loans near the peak of the business
rise. Individual business men are
warned that their best protection is
to study all available sources Of au-
tbentic information regarding world
and national stocks of their respect

chases accordingly. The Federal

by the consuming world in the i'm

les which must be clothed goes on in

population, which was estimated at
7SO,O00OOO i'll 1920, was l,830,O0O0OO

that the recent twenty year period
includes the greatest war that the
world has ever known.
Should the present rate of increase
continue, the worlds population by
