...income, the railroads are cutting expenses to the bone," continued Professor Cunningham. "Some of these cuts are real economies, such as those which come from increases in the efficiency of operating trains, stations, and yards. Others are not real--they are merely borrowing from the future. For example, the repair work on way structures and equipment has been radically curtailed. Locomotive and car shops have been partly or wholly closed, and programs for renewals of ties, rails and ballast have been reduced to a fraction of the requirements. Obviously this is deferred maintenance, which must be made up at increased...
...objection on the part of our people to subsidizing ships. Other countries indulge in these subsidies, sometimes in the form of giving favorable mail contracts. In the Philippines the inter-island commerce was so demoralized in 1904 that the ships weren't earning enough to keep them in proper repair and they were going out in such condition that they were an absolute menace to human life.

It would be particularly unfortunate if they were to provoke just grievances by seizing territory not rightfully theirs. Poland must now strive for that mutual amity with surrounding states by which alone a worth-while peace is assured...
