LOCAL BANKERS PRAISE ACTION
 OF PRESIDENT

Bridgeport bankers look with con- siderable favor upon President Will sons proclamation establishing gov ernment control of railro Gds, judging from opinions expressed by officials of some of the city's foremost institu- tions, today.
 The choice of Secretary McAdoo as administrator of railroads is particu- larly commended by one. President Charles G. Sanford. of the First Bridgeport National Bank.
 T regard President Wilson's selec- tion in this respect a wise one," said MT. Sanford to Farmer reporter, "as I believe MT. McAdoo well quail fled to direct the affairs of rallroacs in this country. It is my belief that government control of the railroads will work particularly to the advan- tage of the country"
 Robert Goddard, of the Bridgeport Trust company, said that he felt both the government and the railroads would benefit, if the control Of rail- roads was under capable direction, as he believed it would be under Secre- tary McAdloo.
 Frank Mller president of the City National bank, and who has much ex- perience with transportation compa- nies when he was an extensive coal dealer, and also in the lumber bus1- ness said when asked what he thought of the policy of the government talk ing control of the railroads, Il think it is good thing. We have got to do something for the railroads and no matter what we do the situation can not be worse"
 MT. Miller is unqualifedly in favor of the government control and believes 1t will eventually result in clearing up of the present involved transpor- tation question

In full accord with the Russian propo- sals regarding that, the following is declared:
 The return of colonial territories forcibly seized during the war consti- tutes an essential part of German de- pands, which Germany cannot re- nounce under any conditions. Like wise, the Russian demand for im- mediate evacuation of territory occu- pied by an adversary conforms to Ger man intentions. Having in view the nature of the colonial territories of Germany, the realization of the right Of self determination, besides the above outlined considerations in the form proposed by the Russian dele gation is at present practically impos- sible.
 The circumstance that in the Ger man colonies the natives, notwith- standing the greatest difficulties and the improbalbility of victory in a struggle against an adversary many times stronger and who had the ad- vantage of unlimited import by sea, remained in the gravest circun- stances faithful to their German friends, may serve as proof of their attachment and their resolve by all means to preserve allegiance to Ger many, proof which by it's significance and weight is far superior to any ex- pression of popular will.
 The principles of economic rela- tions proposed by the Russian de1ega- ton in connection with the above six clauses are approved wholly by the delegations of the allied powers who always have denied the economic re- strictions and who see in the re-es- tablishment of regulated economic re- lations, which are in accord with the interests of all people concerned one of the most important conditions for bringing about friendly relations be- tween the powers now engaged in war;
 Chairman Ioffa of the Russian de1- egation expressed qualification at the willingness of Germany to conclude peace on the basis of no annexations. no indemnities and the self-defnition of peoples but pointed out that the seif-definition of peoples within the limits granted by constitutions, as stated by the German reply, was not complete.
 Renouncing the application of the right of the stronger nation with re- gard to territories occupied during the war;" he said, 'the powers of the quadSuple alliance at the same time give all their opponents an immediate peace ground. They affirm that the right of the stranger, after unprece- dented b1oodshed, shall be preserved with all it's integrity within each of i the countries with no regard for lit- tie and oppressed nationalities.
 The war cannot end without the violated rights of those nationalities being re-established. The Russian delegation insists that those national ities must in the very next peace treaty establishing a general peace among all nationalties receive on the basis of international agreement, guarantees that their lawful rights will be protected. The lapse of time in no case legalizes the violation of one people by another.''

Regarding compensation for the maintenance of prisoners of war, the Russian chairman said 1t might be construed as an indemnity. He in- sisted that an International fund be used to pay damages against private persons. He had no objection to qermany's request that her colonies be evacuated by Entente troops.
 Russiass delegation, he said, in con- clusion, notwithstanding differences of opinion, thought the German dec laration that Germany has no az gressfve plans offered the possibility of the immediate beginning of nego- tiations for a general peace among all beliigerents. He proposed 10 day recess until Jan. 4, ''so that the peo- ples whose governments have not yet joined in the negotiations for a gen. eraI peace may have an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the prin- cip1es of such a peace as now is being established"
 At the expiration of the indicated tine," he declared, "the negotiations must be resumed, disregardins whether other belligerents have joined in the negotiations or how many"
 The next session of the conference was set for Dec. 26.
 Starting on these principles and re- garding the six classes proposed by the Russian delegation as basis o1 negotiations, the following must be stated:
 Clause 1 Forcible annexations of territories seized during the war do not enter the intentions of the allied powers. About troops now occupying seized territories it must be stipulated in the peace treaty, if there is no agreement before, regarding the evac- uation Of these places.
 ssClause 2. It is not the intention of the allies to deprive the political iadependence of these nations which lat it during the war.
 Clause 3. The question of sub1ec- ton to that or the other country o1 those natfonalities who have not po1ti. cal independence cannot, in the opin- ion of the powers of the quadruple al. nance, be solved internationally. IT tilis case it must be solved by each MQFEE1kQGuI tOBOCLEoT WICH US pGOpl0s in a manner established by the con- stitution.
 Clause {. Likewise, in accordance with the declarations of the statesmen of the quadrnple alliance, the protec- ton of the rights of authorities consti. tutes an essential part of the right oi peoples to self definition, indicated by a constitution.
 Clause 5. The governments also recognize this principle in life where there Is a possibility of mutual refusal not only to refund war expenditures but also to pay damages caused by the war. Tn accordance with this each belligerent would have to bear only the expense of It's subjects made wal prisoners and also to pay damages caused on their own territory to civil subjects of an adversary by deliberate violation of international law The creation of a special fund for this pur- pose. as suggested by the Russian gov. ernment. can be>discussed only in case other belligerents join in peace nego. tiations before the expiration of a cer. tain time.
