By HOLLANn

Judge e II. Gary. chairman Of the
board OF directors of the United
States Steel Corporation, reserved full
and detailed exposition Of his view
respecting the attitude of the United
States towards the world war until
such opportune moment as the visit
OF the Japanese mission to the United
States offered. Upon Judge Gary's
return from a short vacation 10

did make a few brief statements.
concise and emphatic enough to make
II clear that he believes THAT the
permanence OF American institutions
and our national life depends upon
the triumph of the United States and
our allies. He also made 1t clear
that he has changed the view which
he took a year or more ago-or at
least II was attributed to HMM
which he intimated that the wor
might be brought more speedily TO
an end that most of US believed pos
sfble.
Before the japanese mission. Juge
Gary stood as a special friend of the
Japanese. for he had cultivated more
cordial relations with Japan when
upon a visit to that easternmost of
our allies some years ago.
Many have been the comments
upon the statements, made by Judge
Gary to the distinguished group OF
japanese statesmen and inanciers
who are now visiting the United
States These comments were occa-
stoned by the fact that Judge Gary
went much farther than any Other
man of influence either in finance, IN
public life. or in industry, has gone
when stating what our attitude to-
ward the war can be and very likeI,
must be. For. in the first place. he
told the Japanese missioners that In
three years or four years at the most
we can arm and equip and thor
oughly prepare for military duty
abroad. at least 100000 men. Sons
OF those who have talked informally
with Judge Gary have been persuaded
that he Is convinced that no matter
how large an army we raise, It car

small loss, II any, in spite of sub.
marines across the Atlantic.

friends that the United States could
raise in three or four years 800. 600 O0o,
900 and can do that without Gripping
the financial strength OF the nation
or interrupting her Industrial progress.
No one OF the leading bankers who
have given much study to the finan-

than $4,000. 100000 Judge Gary's in

GOVERNMENT WILL
KEEP THE RAILWAYS
OPEN FOR TRAFFIC

washington, NOV. ia Tdllroau
dictator may be appointed by Pres
ident Wilson. Determined that war
transportation shall not be tied up by
strike, the president today has I'M
der consideration not only the refusal
Of the big Four" brotherhoods to ar
bitrate their wage demands but also
the critical freight congestion. car
shortage and railroad finance prob
lens. A dictatorship similar to the
government control of food, fuel, prior
ity and shipping, is being urged off,
cially to turn the country's railways
completely and solely into a war
machine.
The presidents closest advisers de-
clared today he would stop at nothing
to keep open the rails for munitions.
coal and other essentials. If he does
not sway the brotherhoods' chiefs by
persuasion he has recourse to give the
government control. with the workers
drafted at army price. Additional leg
islation first necessary for such an
unlock ed for move, would be granted
by congress at the presidents behest If
the emergency arose, his advisers be-
lieve.
LEADERS AT WASHINGTON.
Railroad executives, coming here to-
morrow to plead with the interstate
commerce commission for more reve-
nue., may see the president or commu-
nicate with him indirectly. A week
from today the brotherhood leaders
/ visit the president at the White
House. That the outcome may be
some agreement for a raise in pay
with a presidential recommendation for
increased railroad freight rates, is re-
garded more than possible.
If, however, the unions stand firmly
on their demands as they did a year
ago. the president will cast the burden
of responsibility upon them. He has al
ready declared his view that patriotic
men cannot now seriously consider
imposing on the nation such a calamity
as a transportation tie-up would in
volve in the midst of war. The implied
threat of drastic action made by the
president is expected to have the de-
sired effect.
PRESSING PROBLEMS.
However, the other railroad prob
lens are pressing. The railways war
board admits the lines cannot cope
with the increased demands upon them
unless additions are made to their
equipment. Blocked by the condition
OF the money market and inadequate
revenues, they propose placing SOC
non essentials in deferred classified
ton while coal, munitions and food
are moved ahead.
