Would Dissolve Some Companies.

Tho rcpor, recommends that the New
ENGLAND Navigation Company be DIS
solved and its assets ana llaphltiea
taken over BY the New Haven COMPANY.
Dissolution is recommended also ior
the subway and Westchester Construc-
ton Companv, the Roxbury Contra,

The commission holds that the New

might well be sold if the transaction
could be arranged without financial
loss TO the road.
After detailing its investigation. the
commission announced its conclusion
that the great majority Of 1.-THE unau-
thorizcd acts were beyond any power
which Connecticut alone could give the
New Haven company" Through GER
tain of these acts, the report declares
"the New Haven has come into posses
sion of power 20 engage, either directly
or indirectly through subsidiary com,
panies. in practically any known kind
OF business, including a special form
of banking. and 1t has engaged apart
from railroad operation IN the stree.

transportation by water, in the express
business. in the manufacture and sup
ply Of gas and electricity. in the sup
ply OF water, in the construction busI.
ness, in the real estate business, and
in the mining and sale OF coal.
The commission reaches the con
clusion that Massachusetts, has IN no
way ratified or sanctioned these unau-
thorized acts or lost any Of its powers
with respect TO them through delay
or neglect.
Federal Incorporation.
The question Of Federal incorpora-
tion Of the New Haven company Is sug
gested By the commission as deserving
Of serious study. "A system under
which a single undivided corporation
is at the same time three separate
corporations is wholly illogical and
seems contrary 70 good order and rea-
son." says the report. ut would tend
to simplification if the New Haven
company could cast loose from its three
inconsistent and inharmonious state
charters and reorganize under one sin
gle charter granted BY the Federal
government. carefully limited and con-
tanning the necessary safeguards in the
public interest. Whether the advan-
tages would outweigh the disadyan-
tages is open 20 doubt. but at least the
question deserves most serious study"
Pointing out, however, that action
by this state is necessary, the commits
sion suggests these four possible
courses TO be pursued:

the President on any important qucs-
ton.
This attitude on their part indicated
TO some Republicans that the President
was not sincere. They recalled that
about week AGO high official Of the
State Department admitted the ducs-
ton Of asking Congress TO pass such
a resolution. "a way out, was beng
seriously considered.
Contradiction Follows.
This was accepted rs final until the
meeting Of the Cabinet day or two
later. when IL was announced that the
Administration had no intention OF sur
rendering the rights of Americans 10
travel on merchantmen armed for de-
fence. and that the Administration
never had considered any such sur
render. With this fat contradiction IN
mind. Republicans were not so sure
to-day that the President would be dis
pleased if a resolution such as IS beng
orsidered were passed by Congress.
Republican leaders In the Senate dc
clared they would welcome an attempt
on the part Of the Democrats to put
through such resolution. They SAID
il would expose TO the country. the
weak and timid foreign policy OF IN"
administration. In the House the Re
publicans were less inclined 60 take
this view. largely because the ranking
Republican member Of the House For.
cign Affairs Committee. Cooper. OF
Wisconsin, is heartily IN favor OF the
resolution.
In State Department circles IL was
said the President must decide whether
the Iusitania case is TO be kept 10 the
front or is TO be sidctracked while Sec
retarv Lansing and Ambassador Won
Bernstorf debate the nice distinctions
between offensive and defensive arma-
ment. II is possible he President WEI
take a firm stand and insist on
prompt recognition OF his repeated de-
mands. but official Washington is not
vet convinced that such is his determi-
nation.
Gcrmany's Game.
Gcrmany's game is delay and debate.
Count Won BernStorff expects WITHIN
day or two instructions from his gov
eminent as 20 the line Of argument he
is TO pursue. II il fulfils his eXpecta-
lions il will have little 20 do with the
Lusitania. The destruction of 10
American lives more than nine months
ago has dropped out of sight as an
issue between the United States and
Germany. The United States is no"
asked TO define the conditions on whlch
it will acqucsce in Germanys subma-
rlne campaign.
MANY administration officials arr
frankly in favor of waiting for case
TO arise before prosecuting the matter
further. The destruction Of an armed
merchantmen. they argue. would put
the question in concrete form.
II is generally agreed here that M
Presidents acknowledged passion TO-
"calm counsel will place him quickly
in the hands of the German Ambassa-
dor. If he consents to debate the arm
ing Of merchantmen with Germany "
is believed that all hope OF settlement
for the Lusitania on terms honorable
10 this government will Be lost.
The United States has taken the 20
sition in the Lusitania case that ITS
honor was touched by the torpedoing
of the vessel. Il has repeatedly re-
fused to submit any part of the ques-
ton to arbitration. Nations agree that
arbitration cannot be resorted 10 ic
