World railways show government control in wartime
A New York Journal of Commerce summary notes two thirds of wartime railways are government owned or operated in belligerent nations. It lists percentages by country, contrasts Allied and Central powers, cites densities, and concludes that about one third of global railways are state controlled. The piece adds figures for America and other regions and mentions the Illinois High School Conference opening in Urbana.
