should do with the railroads. In the
interest of the public and fairness ID
their owners.
Let me say at once that have no
answer ready. The only thing that is
perfectly clear to me is that it Is not
fair either to the public or to the own
ers of the railways to leave the queS-
ton unanswered and that it will pre-
sentIy become my duty to relinquish
control of the railroads even before ex-
piration of the statutory period unless
there should appear some clear pros
pect in the meantime OF a legislative
solution. Their release would at
least produce one element OF solution,
namely certainty and a quick. stimu-
lating Of private initiative.
! believe that 1t will be serviceabie
for me to set forth as explicitly as
possible the alternative courses that
lie open to our choice.
We can simpl7 release the roads and
go back to the old conditions OF pr.
vate management, unrestricted com.
neti.ion and nlultiform regulation by
both state and federal authorities; o.
we can go to the opposite extreme
and establish complete government
control accompanied If necessary by
can adept an intermediate course OF
modified private control under more
unified and affirmative public regu'a-
ton and under such alterations of the
law as will permit wasteful connect
ton to be avoided and considera BILE
decree of unifcation Of administration
to be effected as for EXAMPLE. by re-
gional corporations under $hich the
railways of defnable areas would be
in effect combined IN single systems.
The only conclusion that I am
ready to state with confidence is that
# would be n Observe alike of the
country and to the owners Of the
railroads to return to the old con-
ditions unmodified Those are condi-
lions of restraint without develop
ment. There is nothing Affirmative
or helpful about them. What the
country chiefly needs is that all It's
means of TRANSFORMATIONS should be
developed, its railways, It's water
ways. it's highways and its country
side roads. Some new elements Of
policy, therefore. are absolutely
cessary-necessary for the service
of the purpose, necessary for the re-
lease of credit to those who are ad-
nlinistrating the railways, necessary
for the protection of their security
holders. The old policy may be
changed much or little, but surely it
cannot be wisely left as it was. 1
hope that congress will have COM
plete and impartial study of the
whole problem instituted at once and
prosecuted as rapidly as possible. I
stand ready and anxious to release
the roads from the present control

Colonel House was adopted at the IL
nal sitting in Versailles.
Herbert Hoover has returned to Par

lCzecno-Siovaks, Jugo-Slays, Ruman-

Eggs were SIP dozen in Brussels
until last week. Now they are 81. This
is cited as an example OF the rapid
sterilization OF prices in Europe, re-
sulting from the knowledge that soon
there will be food enough for all. Ey-
erybOdy is looking toward America Tor
supplies, and our part is becoming in
creasingly vital.
In view OF the absence of Colonel
house, it is not likely that the London

more in the nature or an election pa

ing it's meetings in the Grand Hotel
Brittanique. it was stated in dispatches
received here today. The French flag
flies over the building, which is
guarded by German sentries.
The sittings take place in the morn

lied and German delegates occupy
separate tables. Each body uses It's
own language, and it is translated sim.
ultaneously into the others.
There are no actual discussions
only the reading of notes. The Ger
