that officials there fear a famine
unless tonnage is secured 20 trans
port the oats and corn granted the
Finnish provision administration
here by this government. Official
dispatches today from Helsingfors
said that the direst need exists
throughout the country.
The stock of cereals in Helsing-
fors was exhausted two weeks ago,
the dispatches said, and the sur
rounding country has been without
food for a fortnight. WibOrg has
flour for one week, but the suburbs
have been without bread for days
Hammersfors has rice and oats for
10 days, but many other towns and
villages are Dreadless and few farm
ers have sotcks TO last until the
next crop.
Dr. Kaarlo Ignatius, the Finnish
commissioner, is endeavoring with
the assistance Of the state depart
ment and the shipping board to OBJ
tain tonnage enough to take food
TO relieve the situation and il is con-
sidered likely that two ships will be
obtained.

RAIL PROBLEM
IS MPL|CATED
Blizzard and Coal Shortage
Increase Difficulties of

international News Service.

international News Service:
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-With
the country in the grip of another
cold wave; the coal supply every
where is at a dangerous low level;
certain food products short, and ex-
port supplies held up for lack of
cars. Railroad Director William G.
McAdOo today was doing his utmost
TO bring efficiency to the transporta-
ton system Of the country. His task
admittedly is the greatest faced lit
recent years by a public man. To
make II a success he must have the
enthusiastic cooperation of all of
the man power Of the roads from
the high salaried chief executive to
the hum blest track walker.
Mr.. McAdoo personally was con-
fident Of success. His first order di-
Iecting all operating vice presidents
10 make every possible effort to in
crease efficiency and TO move traffic
by the most convenient and expedi-
tious routes" was his initial trump
lead. Literally interpreted, as he in
tends that il shall be, it will open
the way for the use OF every ounce
of equipment and every foot OF rail
of the railroads.
The next few days must deter
mine what measure Of support the
secretary will receive from the rail
road workers. Some of the presi-
dents are admittedly sulky. All along
they have declared that government
control would not work, now they
are only hair hearted in their sup
port OF McAdOO. II is likely that
thesG men will not remain long in
their present posts. AS railroad di-
rector McAdoOs authority is su
preme and ne will make short work
OF the sulkers, officials close 10 him
say. even though they are among the
best known railroad presidents of
the country.
But these men are few. The ma
iority of the executive believe that
government control at the present
time was an absolute necessity. They
have buckled TO help in every way.
Chief of this class is Hale Holden.
president OF the Chicago. Burlington
and Quincy railroad. He was the
first executive to pledge wholeheart-
eel support TO the new plan and to-
day he declared il to be his belief
that every individual railroad
worker. no matter what his rank.
will give the best that is in him TO
meet the existing crisis. He con-
ndently expects that the nations
transportation capacity can be
greatly increased and great econo-
mics worked 10y means of the pool
inc system.
