MORE RAILROADS" REQUIREDl FOR DEVELOPMENT

of Neav York.
New railways with which to reach
the interior of the undeveloped Sec
tons OF the globe will be demanded
by the consuming world in the i'm
mediate future. The number OF
mouths which must be fed and bod
les which must be clothed goes on in
creasing at an appalling speed. World
population, which was estimated at
78O,00O,O00 in 1920, was 1,830,000000
in 1920, having thus increased 1850
in the single century. The actual in
crease in numbers in the first twenty
years of the century under considera-
ton was l7O000000 and in the clos
ing twenty years of the century
$4,000, 900, Notwithstanding the fact
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
1850 would approximate 2,250,0OO,-
600, or nearly $50 more than at the
present time. When we find that the
present world production of the great
food and clothing staples, wheat,
corn, rye, potatoes, sugar, cotton,
wool and hbres, is in practically every
instance less than that of the years
Immediately preceding the war, we
Involuntary wonder where the world
is to obtain the necessary quantity
of food and clothing that the in
creased population of the near future
will demand.

prevailing and also by 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

relation to the physical characterize
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 arc built. Rail.
