Manufacturers of competing types

goods on the carriers. And for the

securing new equipment will be
limited for the carriers as their
suppliers and shop workers will
be needed to produce military

that their efficiency has been inn

isdiction in 1941. Competition OF
other transportation media IS no
less keen, but the mounting vol
ume of goods to be moved is soon
likely to tax even this country's
elaborate transportation system.
1941, in fact, promises to see the
highest volume of traffic since
1929.
For the best part of a decade
the railroads have been struggling
to keep at least partially solvent'

u,as the case ten years ago. But
these cars and locomotives can
carry larger loads at higher spa2ds
than was then the case. The aver
age freight car capacity is now
more than six percent larger than
was the case in 1929, and trains
made up of more cars than ever
before move at speeds more than
twenty-five percent greater than
was the case at the climax OF our
last great era of prosperity.
Also these trains use less fuel,
less labor and last longer than has
ever before been true. Improve
ments looking to economy and eff
ficiency of operation have been ef-
fected in other ways. Heavier rails
have been installed on main lines,
more expeditions methods h a v e
been developed for handling traf-
fic, and better dispatching and con-
troll systems have been devised.
Better, Financially
Nor have these gains been con-
fined to traffic alone. Financial
positions have been improved.
This, despite the fact that it has
meant rigid fiscal control in dill
cult times. Particularly is this true
in regard to funded debt OF which
there has been a slow but steady
reduction over the past ten ycdls.
And this reduction is continuing at
a fairly steady pace as can be
discovered from an examina loa oil
railroad financial statements.
Several factors have come to the
aid of the carriers recently. The
newly enacted transportation bill

In Argentina today, a. in other
South American republics, there
are still references to Yankee i'm
perialism" by youthful nationalist
and exotic political minorities. No
responsibility attaches to these ut
terances. Officially, and in respon-
sible spheres OF public opinion, Ar

terms. But good neighborliness"
in Argeatina-and especially at the
present time-tends to be inter-
preted in terms Of the trade posi-
bilities which its practical appli-
cation may afford.
Argentina's loss Of European
markets for her principal exports
threatens to bring total export val
ues for 1941 down to something like
two-thirds of normal, endangering
the equilibrium Of the country's
balance of international payments,
unless drastic action is taken to
remedy this situation before it de-
velops. That it has not yet devel.
oped, may be seen from the fact
that the total value Of exports for
the ten months to Ocober 81 last
were only three per cent lower than
the corresponding figure of 1889.

IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

Governor Culbert L. Olson had not. at
the time this was written, indicated what
action he will take on Senate Bill 877,
which has passed both houses of the
state legislature by big votes The bill
is the one known unofficially as the Hot
Cargo-Secondary Boycott bill It would
outlaw the labor union practice of picket
ing a place at which no labor dispute
exists, simply because that place handles
or distributes the product Of someone
else who is at loggerheads with labor
unions.
Enemies of the bill have attempted to
convince the governor that it is class leg
islation in favor of agricultural indus
tries 1t is not. It is extremely impor-
tant to the farmer; that is true. A sec
ondary boycott that lasts wo weeks can
deprive him of an entire years income.
But the bill is important, also. to every
one in any way connected with business.
1t is important to the clerks IN stores,
who may lose their Jobs through lack of
business because picket line is thrown
around the stores at which they work,
even though there is no labor dispute
there. 1t is important to the consumer,
because the picketing and hot cargo prac-
tees may deprive him of goods he badly
needs.
1t is not unfair to labor. 1t does not
take away any rights nationally guar
anteed to labor unions. 1t merely pre-
vents union racketeers from penalizing
innocent parties-both employers and
employees-in dispute.
The bill mould be signed.

In June of 1889, just before the
second World War broke across the
world, the whole United States
army had only 1877, 1886 men in ac-
tive service. Today, more than 200,
GOO American soldiers are manning
the outer ramparts of American
defense in the outlying bases.
The United States has today, in
other words, more soldiers manning
the outlying bases, from Kodiak
Island to Guam and from Green
land to Guiana, than the total
force available for defense in 1899
That, among other things, has
been brought about by those who
chose to plunge the world into war
instead of seeking civilized ways TO
keep civilization afloat.
They are gone from the camps
they knew in the United States,
but they must not be forgotten.
Means must be devised for keeping
these American soldiers in touch
with the home country.
Such a dispersion of forces, with
nearly a fourth of the available
soldiers stationed outside the con-
tinental limits of the country, is
something new, and therefore
something we never have thought
much about. Britain, with its far
spread empire, was accustomed for
decades to having its sons scatter
ed from Burma to the Falkland
Islands. But it is new to Americans,
both to those who go and to those
who stay.
With such large detachments of
American soldiers serving in far
away posts, every effort must be
made to see to it that they are
not forgotten, and, more important,
that they do not feel forgotten.
