strongly Optimistic views “pressed
'1 President Kingsley.
NEW YORK, August 'l.’-Strongiy
optimistic vlcwll on general business
conditions in Europ s and the outlook
for American enterprises there, were
eli’resaed today by Darwin P. Kins-
Ilev. president of the New York Life
insurance Company, who has lust re-
turned from a four months tour
through all the principal countries of
EurOpe, including European Russia.
MT Kingsley said that during his stay
abroad he sought out and met men
of every class, and interviewed the
bankers and government ministers in
substantially all the capitals of Eu
rope. “I found practically no hostility
to Americans or American institu-
tions," said he. “Off the contrary,
the products of American enterprises
are today more largely,ln evidence
than ever before. in every considera~
his city there are handsome plants of-
fering successfully Alderlcan shoes,
American typewriters, American reap-
ers, plows and all kinds of Agricul-
tural implements, American sewing
machines and American life insur-
ance. I found the foreign insurance
department very friendly in their at-
titude toward American companies.
None of the European countries have
adopted any laws unavoidable toward
the American companies, and they
show no disposition to do so. In most
of the countries of continental Eu-
rope, American life insurance compan-
lcs are cordially welcome on account
of their strength and the success with
which they have passed through the
recent drastic inquiries in New York.
"Americans. as they call us. are cor.
dially welcome In Spain. notwithstand-
ing the late unpleasaniness, and in
Russia the word "American" is still
one to conjure with, notwithstanding
the sympathy which America was sup-
posed to have with Japan in their re-
cent trouble. There is general recog-
nition all over the country of the In
creasing importance of the United
States, and, in the minds of the masifl
es of the people. the United States is
still the land of opportunity, and they
maintain toward it the romantic in-
lerest which necessarily attaches to
that frame of mind. They echct
great things from the‘people of’the
United States. They criticise 11s, but
they do it in a kindly way. They can-
not understand, for example, how it

pass a proper remedial measure. They
criticize that. They are disposed to

as a whole welcome us and our ideals,
partly because they find us profitable.
but also because they really like us."
PROSPERITY is HERE.
Railroad President, Harriman Bays
There is Great improvement.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 7.—-"A
more rational feeling prevails thorugh-
out the country in the matter of finan-
cial conditions." said Edward If. Her.
riman, the railroad m mime. last
night, while discussing the caution of
prosperity and other subjects of in-
terest to the people at large, “I feel
that there is much improvement in
the situation. With" the crops grow-
Ing and those already gathered, the
production In the aggregate will be of
greater magnitude and value this year.
This is the basis of prosperity. When
the farmers sell thelr‘crops they will
be in the markets to buy, and thus
help the merchants and manufactur-
era.
“It is necessary for the railroad cor‘
porailons to have credit with which
to raise funds to put their roads on a
proper basis and have them reach
the highest state of efficiency. As I
wrote to President Roosevelt and Sec-
retary Taft, l favored a regulated pub
llcity, but fell that the railroads must
have protection. Forced competition
by legislation is destructive and not
beneficial.
“Regarding the ruling of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission, that the
railroads and trans- -Paclflc steamship
lines must publish their rates. I feel
that the situation Is a serious one. The
steamship companies have never ask-
ed the government for a subsidy or
assistance in any manner.’
The latter statement was made by
Mr Harriman In reply to a question
as to whether he did not feel the new
regulations regarding the publication
of rates would favor the steamship
lines operating via the Sues Canal to
the injury of the trans Pacaflc com-
panics.
Asked If he felt that young men of
today have a better opportunity for ad-
ancement than he had forty years
Mr. Harriman replied that his
chances were much brighter, owing to
improved facilities in almost every di-
rection.
Replying to a qpery as to the basis
of his own success. the railroad offl-
cial said be accounted for it by a p81”
slsteney and determination to do the
thing that is undertaken the best way
that it can be doiie.
Mr. Harriman said that he will be
on the Pacific coast for about a month,
and leaves tonight for Pelican Bay
Ridge on Klamath Lake, in the south-
ern part of Oregon.
While on the coast, Mr. Harriman
will devote some attention to project-
