The church can give a spirit of goodwill,

The church has much to gain. Its mes

The Barge Project.

Director General McAdoo has put himself on rec
ord favoring inland waterway transportation and
has announced that he will carry the Mississippi
river barge route project endorsed by the business
men of Chicago Peoria, st. Louis St Paul, Memphis,
New Orleans and intermediate points
Mississippi valley industries need an ocean out
let for bulky freight AI-rai transportation to the
Atlantic or Gulf coast is too expensive. Mr. McAdoo
realizes this well as every other man of inteI-
gence and declares himself DESTROYS of giving
fair test to unified railroad operations along with
co-ordinated inland waterways operations"
Mr.. McAdoo is a follower of the European idea
that railroads and waterways should be operated as
one system for the benefit of the public The plans
he has in mind cannot be carried out. he believes,
unless his proposal that federal control of railroads
be extended five years is adopted by congress.
1t is true that in the past many railway companies
have opposed water transportation, but the traffic
congestion of the past two years has broadened the
vision of rail executives well of business men
The railroads of the Mississippi valley can no longer
take of all the traffic the constantly expand
ing regions which they serve unless they spend hun
dreds Of millions for new mileage and new equip
ment.
The industrial and agricultural development OF
the Mississippi valley states been phenomenal
Tons now transported where, just a few years
ago, pounds were shipped. Every available source
of transportation is needed care Of the con
stantly increasing shipments and for railroads as
well barge and truck lines there is big profit
in sight
Coordination between the three great modes Of
modern freight carrying railroads, steamer and
barge lines, and interurban truck 1ines-is bound to
come, whether they operated under government
control private ownership, because seIf-interest
will compel their owners and managers to work
together.
The demand for waterway transportation which
spasmodic in character for many years now is
backed by the people and endorsed by the business
men Of city and town the Mississippi river
from st. Paul TO New Orleans and on the waterways
Of Illinois from Chicago to Alton.
Whether congress accepts the administration plan
Of extended government railroad control or not D-

faith and everything he may advise in connection
