The belief is that the Ad- | ministration will continue a pol- | Congress. However, this is a cal- |culated policy, designed to per- | mit business to show what it can }do in meeting the recession emer- gency and unless there is an up- j|turn, the Chief Executive is ex- | pected to meet the situation by government action. 2d Some commentators believe that business is scraping the bot- tom now and that there will be a slow upward movement. If this is not a fact and the recession hangs on until the end of spring, the | President is expected to use dar- ing methods to bring about a re- feovery. At this time, the Admin- jistration is hopeful that industry yand business will be able to bring fabout the improvement desired but unless’ ‘convinced that this is {to be accomplished, the President jis expetted to go into act*cn vig- ‘orously and positively. + It would cost $26,236,856,914 to reproduce the railroads of the United States, except land and rights, according tq the Interstate Commerce Commission. A fea- ture of the report is the estimate that original costs, except land and rights, is $22.796,994893 or $3,331,962,121 less than the cost of reproduction new. The figures ‘are interesting in view of the President's recent campaign for substitution of the “prudent in- vestment” theory of valuation as a basis for rates instead of the method heretofore laid down by the Supreme Court. The prudent investment valuation is based on all investments made prudently while the traditional method re- quires that consideration be given to reproduction costs. Assailing railroad receiverships, which he called “the racket on earth,” Senator Tru- man, of Missouri, said that in the two receiverships of the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, “the highest of the high hats in the legal profession” had “resort- ed to tritks that would make an ambulance chaser in the coroner's STOCK OF PIPE FITTINGS IS COMPLETE.

While no mili- tary expansion is contemplated and the naval program is in the “if” stage, the general idea is that the request will be made. Of couse, an improvement of condi- tions in the Far East might cause @ reconsideration but with the world engaged in a mad race to build warships, the probability is that the United States will follow (Continued on Page Four) i RUE af t i g Dodge City Duluth Eastport El Paso Galveston Hatteras Havana Helena Huron ‘ Jacksonville Kansas City _ Little Reck __ Los Angeles Louisville — Miami = Minneapolis Nashville New Orieams __ 36 New York _ Oklahoma City 24 Pensacola - 32 Phoenix _.. 42 Pittsburgh -___ 20 St. Louis 4 Salt Lake City 26 San Francisto . 40 Sit.
