Maj. Armonn to Go to
Manassas to View
War Comes

The West Point Military Academy
is the most impressive Army train
ing school he has ever seen, Maj.
Carl N. G. Armann, Swedish Army
oficer, declared here yesterday.
Maj. Armann passed through
Washington on his way to Manassas,
where he will observe American
troops in action during next weeks
sham war. He is making a tour of
Army establishments here and, in
addition to West Point, has visited
several East Coast Army posts.
European countries, he said, have
much to learn from the training
system here. He pointed out that
the United States system of ofncer
and troop training was reversed in
Europe. Soldiers abroad are trained
as experts in special fields from the
start, whereas in this country they
are given general training at first
and special training later.
He said he felt that in the United
States a soldier is able to become
oriented more easily than abroad.
The Swedish officer spoke highly of
the Army personnel he has seen
here, noting particularly the stand
ard Of education found among en-
listed men and officers.
Emphasizing that he could not
speak officially, Maj. Armann said
he did not believe a European war
would involve his country, other
Scandinavian states or the Baltic
group.
He called at the Swedish Legation
and after his visit expressed the
hope that the United States and

Mobilization of Regular Army men
was completed yesterday with ar

The first National Guard units
will arrive at 4:30 am. tomorrow,
with approximately 400 men, in
cluding portions of the 9th New

New Jersey Divisions coming by
train. About 1000 more will come
by highway.
The main body Of 81 100, chiefly

Monday.
The $50 umpires, who have been

Homing pigeons will supplement

While casualties will be assessed
on a strict numerical basis. the

will remain at full strength, Col.
James P. Morley, chief of staff of

explained today

Morley said. If an umpire decides

MONEY TO SPARE

An interesting sidelight on the un-
supported statement that the banks
are not adequately serving the credit
needs of the nation is found in figures
submitted to the American Bankers
Association by All banks in 290 COM
munities in the typical state of Penn
sy lvania.
During the first six months of this
year, these banks made more than
1881 900 new loans. totaling $372,350.-
900. They renewed more than 675,-
900 existing loans. for a total of
$3.50 1893 900. If all the ABA banks
in Pennsylvania had similar exper-
ience, the Association estimates, to-
tai new loans came to more than
$500 ,0O0. .000-and total renewals to
around 81 1,OOO, 100000.
Another important phase of the re-
port deals with the open lines OF
credit" maintained by banks in lar
ger cities, which are available at all
times to established commercial bor-
rowers. Seventy-two banks report
that they carry credit of this sort on
their books in the sum OF $3.50, ,00O,-
900. Yet only $80,000,O00 of this. or
"a per cent, was actually being used,
as of June 80, by business.
What this all means is clear. There
is plenty of money and to spare in
regular banking channels for sound,
legitimate commercial loans of all
legal types. But business is making
only small use of the potential credit
available. And it isn't hard to under
stand why that is so. No intelligent
business man goes into debt, to a
bank or any other agency, when he
doesn't know where the money is
coming from to pay off. He doesn't
expand his plant in a period Of worry
and uncertainty. We will have ma
jor expansion of credit when conf
dence returns, when the fear of gov
ernment competition and tax confis-
cation of profits is lessened, and
when business men don't have to
spend most of their time thinking
about political policies which burden
and punish private enterprise.
Milford chronicle., 1939-08-25
WORKING on THE RAILROADS

Ii is unfortunate that considera-
tion of the railroad problem was so
long delayed by the last Congress
that proposed legislation had to be
deferred until next session. Few
single acts could have been more gen.
orally beneficial to the country than
completed plan for equitably regu-
lating transportation, to the end that
no carrier be penalized and none ia
vored.
However, the last Congress did
make a start, and a good one. Bills
were introduced in each branch
which, generally speaking. cover the
major phases of the transportation
problem as it exists today. These
bills have been given the overwhelm-
ing endorsement of the senators and
representatives. They are now in
committee, and il is believed that
minor differences existing between
them will be easily ironed out, so
that the next Congress can take ac-
ton Immediately on convening.
That the pending transportation
legislation is worthy in motive can
hardly be denied by anyone without
an axe to grind on behalf of some
special interest. The principal plan
is to bring order out of our current
chaos in regulation. For many years
we have regulated the railroads in
every particular, while their COM
petitors have gone unregulated or
half-regulated. Certain forms of
transport. notably the waterways,
have been given gigantic tax subsi-
dies. The railroads have been the
poor relation, despite the fact that
rail transport is the very backbone
of the nations commerce, and the
inevitable result has been to bring
this vast essential industry uncom-
fortably close to economic ruin.
There is hardly a person in this
great land of ours who won't benefit
in some manner from a sound and
workable transportation policy. The
worker, the investor, the Industrial
ist, the farmer, the stOrekeeper-all
depend, directly or indirectly, upon
the railroad industry for part of their
livelihood. No industry does more to
create wealth, opportunity and trade.
AS many an economist has truly OBJ
served, there can be no real, general
prosperity in this country so long as
the railroads are in the financial dol
drums,
