THE RAILROADS

Appeal For Assistance.
WILL DO ALL IN HIS POWER
President Is Willing For I. C. C. To
Grant Additional Revenue If
Compatible With Public
interest.
Washington, D. C.—As far as the
properties of the situation permitted,
President Wilson made known his |
sympathy with the appeal of the Amer-
{can railroads for more liberal treat-
ment from the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
In a brief but expressive letter to
Frank Trumbull, president of the
Cheasapeake and Ohio Railway and
chairman of the committee of railroad
officials who called on the President,
the President replied to the requests
of the railroad asking him to bestir
popular sympathy for the roads and
prevail on the commission to grant
additional revenues,
It is generally believed here that
with the President's indorsement be-
fore them, the rallroads will go before
the commission and formally ask for
a reconsideration of the rate cases.
Persons in close touch with members
of that body declare that the com-
mission is much more favorably in-
clined toward the railroads and rather |
than accept the responsibility for finan- |
cial ruin to the roads would grant an
increase.
Impressed By Their Statements.
Shortly after the President had dis- |
patched his letter to Mr. Trumbull, he |
received the newspaper correspondents |
and, in discussing his Interview with
the railroad men, admitted that thoy:
had made a deep impression on him. !
His letter had approved without reser |
vation the appeal to popular support. |
It likewise conceded that the “proper |
governmental agencies,” meaning the
Interstate Commerce Commission, as |
far as compatible with the public in-
terest, should grant additional rev-
enues.

TRADE CONFERENCE HELD. |
Latin-American Diplomats and U. 8.
Business Men Meet.
Washington, D. C.—Members of the
Bouth and Central American diplo-
matic and consular service and Amer-
fcan business representatives held an |
all. day conference here for the pur-
pose of developing concrete plans for
closer trade relations between the
United States and Latin-American
countries. As a result Secretary of
Commerce Redfield, who presided, was
authorized to appoint a committee to
map out a plan of action. Another
conference, at which additional Amer
fcan manufacturers will be present,
may be called later, when more in-
formation can be gathered for discus.
sion.
The establishment of branch banks,
better transportation facilities, the
manufacture of the kind of goods
wanted by the South and Central
American people and a more friendly
commingling of the business people
of the two continents must be done be-
fore the United States can get a firm
commercial foothold In the nations
south of her, according to the Latin-
American speakers.
WHY EMBARGO WAS REMOVED.
Was To Avoid Complications
Over Shipment Of Arms.
Washington, D. C.—removal of the
embargo on arma into Mexico across
the international border was explained
at the War Department as designed
to avold legal complications over ship-
ments and as having no relation to the
question of recognition. When Vera
Cruz wap seized by American forces
the War Department as a military pre-
caution imposed the embargo though, |
under civil law, the President's procla- |
mation permitting shipments continued |
in effect. The withdrawal of the War |
Department’s order simply restores the
status prescribed in the President's
proclamation,
