TRANSPORTATION QUESTIONS.

Because of the situation caused by the war the rivers and harbors con gress has not been held for the past two years. This was not because there were no demands for outlays in the development of water transporta- tion facilities. for they are as many and as elaborate as ever. but because it was understood that the money which would be required was needed much more in other directions. With the war over. however, congress is to be held in February at which time the three days session will be given over to discussion of transportation questions.
 This is a sensible decision in view of the fact that that question is one O. the leading ones at the present time. There remains the matter of inland waterways but there l faced the matter of readjustment in water transportation just as there does sirni- lar action regarding the railroads. This is perhaps no better disclosed than through the announcement which has just been made by the Merchants and Miners Transportation company to the effect that it will not continue the service between Providence and Norfolk when the government returns it's vessels to 1t. This is because it will be unable to compete with gov ernment railroads, because it cannot solicit freight and because shippers cannot designate the routes over which their goods should be shipped
 This presents a situation which un- questionably needs airing in some such gathering as the rivers and harbors congress. It is certainly q transpor- tation situation which should be brought to light, and no better time could be selected than right now when such matters are before the country for adjustment.

FEEDING EUROPE.

MT. Hoover has been in Europe for several weeks now looking over the food situation. He has been endeav- bring to ascertain just how well sup piled with necessities the countries there are, where the need at the pres ent time is the greatest and what steps must be taken in order to fur nish relief before it Is too late.
 Much has been said about what must be done to feed the enemy na- tions. and there cannot be of course any action taken which would prevent them from being allowed sufficient food, but it is quite evident that MT. Hoover does not intend to seat them ct the first table and load it down with all the delicacies while others which need help much more are made to wait.
