...gist of the situation is that if the Northwestern roads were given high enough rates to enable the St. Paul to live, its rival roads would prosper too much to suit local shippers, Washington politicians and others.

Most practical business men are fully aware of the fact that when industry is sound and lacks only capital to prosper, the investor who provides the last dollars needed secures the greatest profit, and does so most quickly. What has been true of American corporate reorganizations, it is felt, will also be found true of similar reorganizations of the basic and established European industries, with this country filling the role...
