the field Of private control and private
operation.
This newspaper has long opposed
the principle OF governmental owner
ship of railroads, and it still regards It
as economically wrong. But the hand
writing on the wall spells the steady
movement towards the practice of that
principle. and we feel that. much as
we are opposed to the plan, it is to
be desired above uneconomic regula-
ton which prevents proper railroad
development, Obstructs railroad pros
perity, and puts railroad securities in
the undesirable class for investment
purposes.
We have said that the Adamson de-
cision unquestionably bring the issue
of government ownership OF railroads
much nearer. There are, however, pos
sible developments which may act to
hold that issue at a distance and may,
indeed, place the issue in limbo for
long time. Should the present deci-
sion and the Interpretation Of Con
gressional authority accompanying It
lead to the early and actual dislodg-
ment Of State regulative interference;
should it also lead to the early and
permanent settlement Of wage dis
putes by peaceful and equitable means
then the growing realization on the
part OF the public OF the increasing
value of railroad securities for invest
ment under such conditions would
take the form of an aroused sentiment
against governmental ownership and
prevent its adoption.
It is assumed, of course, that rate
advances will be granted. Such a
means Of strengthening the financial
position OF the roads will not be sur
icient. however. without other and
indeed more fundamental aid, TO in
sure their permanent rehabilitation.
Congress certainly holds it within
it's power-now that the Supreme
Court has interpreted ifs authority IS
greater than heretofore reaized-tC
turn these possibilities. referred to
just above into realities. It can dis
pose of State regulative interference
it can make arbitration OF disputes
compulsory.
VIII Congress exercise It's authority
thus to restore the value of railroad
securities and make them again the
premier investment. as they shoulC
be. of the public of the United States
and indeed Of tho world? The answer
is that Congress will exercise this au
thority only if public sentiment de
mands it,

to sympathze with him in his present effort TO raise
100000 to deiray the cost OF erecting a and

Animated by a firm determination to make good in
his new work he stimulated the interest OF Catholics

the result that few years he built up of the

At all times however 1t has been his aim to have
