The fact is that the rapid rise in car loadings even before the war burst upon the world brought the railroads to a realization that buying could not longer be delayed.

For, from a political point of view, the imposition of restrictions on American trade can easily become a boomerang. At the moment. votes for it are justified on the sentimental basis that it helps to keep America out of war, but, a few months hence when commerce and trade have been demoralized, the opposition candidate will single out the senators and representatives who voted to drive American ships off the high seas and stagnate American production.
