RUSSIA LAND OF OUR OPPORTUNITY Development Means Millions to Be Spent in This Country In one of the most important bul- letins issued since the outbreak of the war the National Association of Manufacturers calls attention to pro- jected aggregating | hundreds of millions of dollars by the Russian government, nearly every dol- lar of which will go to the ufacturers of this country. most notable imprevements jected are the construction 25,000 miles of railroad and a s tem of ship unequalied any- where in the wo:ld. According to the bulletin, which was prepared by W. Alsenman, chief of the Russian trade division of the association, Russia now demands im- mense quantities of supplies, embrac- ing machinery of all kinds and rail- rcad equipment in vast variety, near- ly all of which is to be supplied by n manufacturers. Hundreds ian railroad men arc now in this country studyving the Awmerican railroad systems of operation. Among those new here are included mechani- cal and constructing enginecrs, and they are studying locomotive and car building plants, the equipment and operating of railroad repair shops and rallway methods in general. The puiletin states that on January 1, 1913, there were 46,539 wiiles of railroad open to traffic in Russia, nof including 13,000 miles of railroad not. open for passenger or freignt traffic, but used for the requirements of the railroad service exclusively. About seventy per cent. of those railroads belongs to the central government, the remaining thirty per cent. to private companies, the government reserving the right to purchase and incorpor- ate them in the national railwoys aft- er twenty-flve years of private upera- tion. “Since September 1915, says the bulletin, “the Russian government has granted permission for the con- struction by private companies of 745 miles of railroads to cost $49,900,000, the central government guaranteeing the capital stock. Private -oinpanies or individuals were permitted to build twelve branch lines, or feeders, with a total length of ninety-seven miles, a cost of $3.005,600. eBsides thes lines. approved icjects for the *ri- struction of 4,267 miles, to cost $280,- 700,000 are delayed because of in- ability to secure the private capital needed to prosecute their specdy building. Furthermore, a number of other private projec for railwavs, totalling 5,300 miles in length and to cost $340,000,000, will be investigat- ed by the proper cabinet minister the near future.” 25,000 Miles of Railroad. It is announced that the Russian government now intends to build 2 000 more miles of railway lines, all to be completed within five years, if pos sible. Those various systems will link together practically all the localities possessing the richest natural re- sources in minerals and metals. Some of them will, moreover, penetrate vast regions of primeval forests which, have hitherto been totally unprofitable because of their inaccessibility. The conference of the ministers of railways and means of communica- tion, of commerce and industry, of finance and of war—together with ex- pert members of their respective staffs—recently held in Petrograd, has recommended that the raflways be built without delay and connected with trunk lines jhandling traffic to improvements man- The pro- of canals Central Asia, and the White sca. Existing lines must he connected with a new railway line to be built to the port of Reval on the Baltic from Orel and from the coal, iron and steel districts farther south. That line will be about eleven hun- dred miles long, and the conference declared it ought to be one of tl carliest taken aciively in hand pushed to completion. Big Business for United States. “Of course,”” adds the bulletin, “Russian domestic establishments for producing construction material and metal work—such as they aré—will be pushed to their fullest capacity, but Russla expects the lion's share of this great improvement and develop- ment to fall to the United S Profiting by the example of American business methods, detailed system and efficiency in rallway construction and management, Russia confidently looks for enormous increase in mileage and substantial improvement in manage- ment and maintenance. Particularly is this general improvement counted upon in the matter of increased pro- and from Siber. ha | | ductiveness in existing plants and in | those to be installed in strict con- | formity with modern American meth- ods.” i know bulletin that' those who well and whose judgment is not affected by the of personal materfal advantage are of the opinion that a conservative estimate of the high grade and costly mchinery for | the completion of public improve- { ments puts their value at over $200,- {000,000 for the first ar for govern- ment needs alone and $100,000,000 ! for private ones; furthermore, that | something like the same ratio of needs and dishursements will continue for at least ten years longer; although in gradually decreasing sums of actual money out Inquiri view rospect are now being made with to purchase of American manufactures in vast variety, includ- ing railway rolling stock, machinery and appliances for building railroads, machinery for digging and equipping canaly, dredges, machinery for hoist- ing, digging, mining, bridge build- ing, road building, travelling cranes, EN WHO appreciate efficiency in little things as well as big have been quick to see the wisdom in sticking toacigarette likeFatima.

According to the bulletin, a colos: sal scheme for improving internal wa- terways communication in Russia s about to be executed. It is to unite in their upper courses by a system of canals—deep enough for large ship- ping—the West Dvina, flowing into the Baltic Sea, with the Dniper flow- ing into the Black Sea and the North Dvina flowing into the White Sea. These canals will link together Odessa, Warsaw, Riga, Petrograd and Arch. angel, and Moscow, Nijni-Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don and Astrakhan with the rivers Don and Volga. The association urges that Amer- ican bankers are likely to find Rus- sla a fruitful field of operation after the war, and the suggestion is made | that the establishment of branches in | the Czar's dominions be seriously con- | sidered.
