     summary: It was at this time that the late Earl Kitchener, then Minister of War, first drew attention in the House of Lords to the alarming position, generally, in regard to munitions of war, I can only say (cp. the _Times_, March 15th, 1915) that the supply of war material at the present moment, and for the next two or three months, is causing me very serious anxiety. Besides when you order a very considerable quantity of war material abroad, there is always a difficulty which arises with regard to the exchanges and the gold supply.

     summary: In Prussia the obtaining of sanction for the building of an additional line by the State railways administration is little more than a matter of official routine; whereas in England the expenses incurred by railway companies in obtaining their Acts have often amounted to a prodigious sum--to be added, of course, to the capital outlay which the users of the railway will be expected to recoup, or, at least, to pay interest on. Without adopting wholeheartedly the views of either of these two opposing parties, Parliament regarded the position with much concern lest there might be a renewal, in another form, of what we have seen to be the grasping tendencies of monopolistic canal companies; and the distrust inspired, under these particular circumstances, and from the very outset, towards railway companies which were preparing to create a revolution in the transport conditions of the {259}country--a revolution the State was not itself disposed to effect or to finance--was powerfully to influence much of the subsequent railway legislation, if, indeed, it has even to-day entirely disappeared.
