THE war could not have been won without railroads.
Transport-by rail and sea-is - an- indispensable
arm of national defence. '
Carrying capacity from the wheat fields and the
mines and the steel mills to the front lines in France
was the measure of our power in war.
And it is the measure of our power in peace.
- . .. Industrial expansion increasing national prosperity
neater -world trade are . vitally .dependent .on railroad
. growth. . ; - " .- ...". . . .'.
The limit to the .productive power of this country is the
.limit set by railroad capacity to haul the products of. our
industry.
The amount of freight carried on American rails doubled
from 1897 to 1905 since that year it has doubled again.;
it will double still '. . . . ...
-To haul this rapidly groyihg. traffic the. country; must
hiaye more railroads. more cars and enginesr-'more tracks
and terminals. .
. . Sound national legislation broad-visiohed ; public reguia-
ttoh will encourage the expansioa of niilroads 5 without Which
the Jiation cannot grow.
