President McCrea said: "Business is Just beginning to get on its feet and, if conditions remain favorable, the country will soon be prosperous again. Prosperity will not return in its full tide, however,, un less favorable conditions continue to exist. Plea Made for Time. "If the railroads are given full time in which to become acquainted with the new laws which have been passed in which to work out the problems which they present and in which to learn and become used to the new con ditions created, then we will have good business and it will increase and grow amazingly.

"There is a vast amount of money to spend In this country for transportation facilities if the railroads can be let alone long enough to woo the necessary capital.
