UNDERWOOD ON RAIL CASE
Says if Regulation Can't Cope with
Problems Next Step Will Be
Government Ownership.
SHOULD BE HELP SOMETIMES

NEW YORK. March iO.-In a speech on
the railroad situation before the Sphinx
club, last night. Oscar w. Underwood,
house majority leader In the last congress
and now elected a senator from Alabama,
declared that IF governmental reguls-
tlons is unable to cope with the vexed
problem that confronts U.S. the people will
accept government ownership as the next
step ahead"
Discussing the present system OF reEu-
latiug business MIR. Underwood said the
time had como when the government
should aid and assist leaders Of industry
and finance.
IT is not enough for the government
to permit these men 60 rise from the
prostration which has overtaken them
and their affairs" he continued. we
have reached the point on our way 20
social betterment where sound progress
siveism must recognise that the proper
regulation Of business requires that Il
must sometimes be helped and not al
ways hindered; must be sometimes as
sisted and not forever stricken. that we
must occasionally say you may and may
not always say you shall not
Revolutions never move backwards
II governmental regulation Ia unable to
cope with the veUed problem that con-
fronts us. the people will accept govern
ment ownership as the next step ahead.
II Is therefore a matter OF great import
snce that we should earnestly endeavor
to reach fair and reasonable solution Of
the problem OF regulation at as early a
day as possible.
TT cannot be denied that public control
has reduced the rates charged for trans
portation and abolished unjust discrimina-
tons given to favored shippers But the
greater problem remains unsolved. Can
