The exchange of commodities is dependent on adequate carrying facilities, the development of which in turn creates a demand for further exchange. There are few industries and business enterprises which could continue to operate for long without the services rendered by modern transportation and communication mediums. Thus, the progress made by the United States in this field is of interest to everyone in the country. Naturally, those most intimately concerned with the development of transportation are, first, the shippers of the country’s products, and, second, the transportation agencies themselves. But the interest extends much further than this. Manufacturers of locomotives, roll- ing stock, railway building material, and the myriad accessories which enter into the equipment of a railway system; builders of ships and marine engines; manufacturers of motor cars, trucks, and busses, and of airplanes and airplane motors; radio, telephone, tele- graph, and cable interests—all these, and in addition the industries allied with them, must find a survey of transportation and communi- cation in the United States of considerable value. The following report constitutes the Transportation and Com- munication section of the Commerce Yearbook, published. by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. In addition to the information reprinted on the following pages, the Yearbook contains reviews of commodity production in the United States and surveys of the principal industries and commercial services of the country. Copies of the Commerce Yearbook, bound in cloth, may be obtained from the district and cooperative offices of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, or from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C., for $1 each. Jurrus Kuen, Director, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Jury, 1926.
