(Continued Prom First Page.) rate increase wauld help this situa- tion?” Eastman inquired. ““Yes, 1 do,” Dick answered. “I think that a lack of confidence has a lot to do with this entire situation. I have never seen banks so full of money. Nor have 1 ever seen such a demand for sound investments. 1 think the rate increase would be a psychological actor In bringing & return of much needed confidence.” Eastman ¢sked if spokesman for the railroads atd railroad investors were not raising the feeling that the only way to help the links was by Govern- ment action either through a rate in- crease or through some legislation regu- lating railroad competitors. “Do you attach any importance to the efforts of some railroads to change and meet these new forms of competi- tion?” Eastman inquired. Dick sald he did, but insisted he felt the revelation of the state of the rail- roads made during their request for the increase would encourage some in- vestors, who felt that since the situa- tion was in the open some steps would be taken to meet it. Dividend Rates Cited. Pastman asked Dick if he knew that dividend rates paid by railroads on all stock in 1930 was the highest in history. Dick answered that e did not have the figures, and then Eastman read a list of railroads and the rates they paid last year. He mentioned specifically some lines in New England. “Were any other industries in New England able to pay similar rates on dividends?” Eastman asked Dick answered that he did not know, and Eastman commented that the high dividend rate was paid in many in- stances at the expense of surplus. Eastman questioned the investment banker as to when he grew apprehen- sive about the rallroad situation and Dick answered that he began to be un- easy in 1930, although he knew before- hand that & sharp decline in gross traf- fic on the part of the railroads might bring a erisls. Asked About His Advice. Eastman asked Dick about his advice to customers in December, 1929, “after the stock market panic.” Dick named several security issues of rallroads which, he said. he felt 00d_investments, among them being the Chicago & Northwestern “Hadn't you already testified in a class-rate hearing.” Eastman asked, “that you were apprehensive about the condition of some Western trunk lines? Wasn't your testimony made in 19277" Dick answered that his feeling snd even after the stock market decline in October, 1929, was the depression would be short-lived. He reiterated that he knew any heavy decrease in gross trafic might bring a crisis in the affairs of many railroads, but that he did not foresee the decline until after 1929. Dick said the chief effect of addi- tional revenues would be putting more men to work. This brought a question from East- man as to railroad expenditures in 1930. “Didn’t the railroads spend large sums in 1930 for work?” Eastman asked. “Some railroads did.” Dick replied, “but on others the work slowed down materially.” Questioning the economic feasibility of increasing rates, Eastman asked if Dick new of any case where railroads or utilities have attempted to meet a temporary depression by an increase of ra‘es. Dick said he could not think of one, offhand. Eastman then asked Dick if bankers and persons interested in railroad in- vestments got together and discussed | the railroad situation prior to May 8. | when railroagd executives first announced | they were contemplating a rate-increase | reauest. \ Dick said he did not know of any such discussion R Fulbright. representing the Southern Pine Association, then took | up the questioning. He quoted recent, exchange prices for a list of ratiroad securities ineluded tn & report by Dick and said that in virtually all instances | these securities had advanced since June | 1, which ended the period for Dick's comparison. Questioned About Securities. “Does this advance show the rall-| roads are in such a predicament as| you picture them?” Fulbright asked. | Dick said the raflroads’ plea for a| rate increase was one factor in causing the advance. Fulbright questioned the banker at length about various securities, among | them those of the Pennsylvania Rail- road. The Attorney sald the Pennsyl- vania earned over 8 per cent last year on its entire capitalization “Do you think the Pennsylvania is included in this dire situation?” Ful- bright inquired. “Yes,” Dick answered, adding that figures he had included in his report for the first four months of 1931 ex- plained the alarm on the part of Penn- sylvania investors. J. F. Finnerty, Washington attorney, asked Dick if he felt that the co mission should refuse to exempt a cor modity where its investigation showed an increase in rates would drive traffic in this commodity off the railroads. | he lived in the royal palace at Buch- | arest he had seen nothing to indicate | that Mme.

MacGregor and Alfaro were said to have conferred together concern%z the disposition of several important Zases. Mr. Nielsen anu State Department officials refused to comment, although the latter declared negotiations had been inaugurated for adoption of a new convention between the United States and Mexico to take the place of a treaty due to expire August 31. The body, in existence many years, has all the functions of an orthodox court of law, examining witnesses, in- specting documentary evidence ' and awarding judgments, often for sums running into the millions of dollars, Meanwhile, Mexico City newspapers reported sessions of the commission in Washington had terminated ‘“because of & dispute between the American commissioner and the neutral arbiter and that there is little probability Mexico will accede to an extension of the time limit for the commission to complete its work. The limit is Au- gust 31." ‘The Associated Press dispatch from the Mexican capital added: “In event that Mexico should agree | to extend the limit, ‘possibly the United States Government will be obliged to name a new commissioner, because it appears that the present commissioner, F. K. Nielsen, is no longer persona grata to Mexico nor to the arbiter, Dr. Horacio Alfaro of Panama.'" The general commission functions separately from the special claims com- mission of the twg countries, although Mr. Neilsen is a member of both. The cases of the latter body grow out of revolutions.
