Foreign News: Railways
John J. Mantell, U.S. railway expert, onetime resident (New York) Vice President of the Erie Railway, last week delivered the report on railway conditions in China which the Chinese Ministry of Railways asked him to undertake a year ago. He wrote:
"The railroads in China are characterized by wholesale inefficiency in all departments and wholesale lack of experienced personnel. Every railroad in China, with the exception of the Shanghai-Nan-king and the Peking-Mukden, is bankrupt.
. . . Rates are unscientific . . . high."
