TRAFFIC CALLED
RAILS PROBLEM
Brooks Says 1929 Earning
Power Return Depends
on Increase.
By Times Special

DU 4 mes CptCtuG
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-With Is to
so per cent more traffic the 1929
earning power of the railroads could
be duplicated, it was stated today
by Eugene S. Brooks of the Brooks
Earning Indicator. The real prob
lem of the industry, he said, re-
suited from the drying up of traffic
due to the depression and not from
other factors.
In the present confusion con-
corning the future of the railroads,
most discussions place particular
emphasis upon: Reconstruction
Finance Corp, truck competition.
burdensome funded debt structures
and Government ownership. We feel
the time is fitting to present, in
simple language, a few essential
truths largely obscured by the well
ter of technical comment"
Mr.. Brooks takes up each of the
above questions.
Undoubtedly, the presence Of
large RFC loans appearing on some
railroad balance sheets has caused
much apprehension, he remarked.
However, these advances are not
greatly in excess of similar advances
made to the industry during the Pc
Rod of Federal control.
Truck competition, an equally
disturbing, but more vital, consider
alton, is another instance where
fancy appears stronger than fact"
Mr.. Brooks pointed out that, in
1882, the railroads handled 1879 per
cent of the available traffic, a larger
proportion than the 1923 per cent
handled in 1929. Truck traffic in
1882 amounted to 9.4 per cent. COM
pared with AZ per cent in 1929.
To move the same tonnage of coal
over the highways as is pulled by an
average train would require a fleet
of 700 average trucks, Mr.. Brooks
stated.
ct is interesting to speculate
upon the spectacle our highways
would present if it were ever at
tempted to move n days output

Outlook Abroad Better
Abroad" the service continues
"the promise of peace on earth has

The long-discusSed cotton barter

TARIFF POLICY
DRAWS ATTACK
BY CROWTHER
Primer Rebukes Propon-
entS of Reciprocal PactS
in Trade.
By Times Special

~ = ~ IRftfNA
NEW YORK, Dec. ia force
fully stated critique Of the Roosevelt
Administrators reciprocal tariff
policy and rebuke to advocates of
lower tariffs as a means Of reviving
foreign trade is contained in a
brochure, out today. which was
written by Samuel Crowther and
published by the Chemical Founda-
ton, Tic.
The treatise is tartly entitled "A
Primer" It's lronical subtitle is
Comment on the Great Construc-
tive Work of the President of the
United States in Making Arithmetic
the Basic Science of Government"
mo n advocates free trade, but
many talk about lowering tariffs so
as to take more foreign goods. Ask
What goods?' The reply is great
silence" writes Mr.. Crowther.
Cites Holdings Abroad
The essential facts put forth by
Mr.. Crowther in the Primer" are
that in thirty-eight years the
United States has sold to the world
goods in the amount of 1921, $50, 000,-
900 and bought from the world
goods in the amount of S84, 604 ,O0O,-
900. The difference of S36, SAC, 000,-
600 represents an amount of Ameri-
can goods and labor which has not
been exchanged for foreign materials
and labor.
However, immigrants sending
money back to Europe to the extent
of SIG, 429, 900 900 and other factors
have left the United States being
owed $22, 645, 900 900, or nearly me
sixth of all this county sold abroad
during the thirty-eight-year period,
according to Mr.. Crowther.
Those who in the past have
made money out of foreign trade
did SO either by drawing on the
capital resources of the country or
by using other peoples money.
Those who lost money as a conse-
quence of foreign trade were, in the
main, banks and investors who never
knew that their losses had any con-
nection with foreign trade. They
put their losses down to different
reasons. Those who made money
and those who lost were not the
same people"
Refutes Some Theories
In a chapter entitled Are We
Idiots or Children" Mr.. Crowther
denounces those who insist that for
eign trade with the United States
is a way toward wealth and point
ing to the years when we were CIV
ing away our goods as years of
real prosperity"
Mr.. Crowther's Primer" refutes
the following propositions
That we gained wealth by export
ing goods and capital.
That if we only import more goods
we shall export more goods and
there will be a net national gain.
That the proceeds of the foreign
loans We made up to 1929 were
mostly spent here for goods, and
even if some investors lost money
the loans promoted employment and
the movement of crops.
That our larger prosperity de-
ponds on a great world trade and
that world trade is low principally
because of tariff restrictions anC
our inability or refusal to leno
money.
That we can and must at once
choose a foreign policy and that we
can choose such a policy without
any real facts on our trade.
