UNIFIED RAILROAD
SYSTEM TO CONTINUE
Coming Of Peace Will Not AL
ter Plans of Director
General McAdOO.
UNIFORM RATES SOUGHT
Government Ownership Re-
garded as Large Issue in
1920 Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Nov. designing Of the
armistice or the coming of peace will
not alter the plans Of Director General
McAdoo for a unified railroad system
A great single system for efficient opera
ton is to continue.
It was authoritatively learned to-day
that the changed international situation
will not alter the coordination OF ships
and railroads. with the common use OF
all facilities to meet the demand on
the inland transportation system.
1t In known that the programme OF
consolidated ticket offices. common use
OF trackage and equipment, common use
OF freight and passenger handling Or
ganization and the Standardization Of
rolling stock. equipment and supplies Ia
to continue without regard to the future.
The view lie taken that under such a
system increased operation efficiency
will stay even IL the roads are re-
stored to their former ownership.
Railroad Administration officials be-
lieve shippers are better served to-day
than under the old system. They point
out that there Is now the same system
OF demuTrages throughout the country.
removing the inequalities that existed
before to the disadvantage Of com
petitors.
There is no disposition in official
circles here to conceal the fact that
government ownership of railroads IL to
he one OF the leading features of the
campaign of 1920. but administrative
leaders will not publicly commit them
selves yet as favoring government
ownership.
In addition to general Standardization
that 1t Is felt should extend even to
signal and order systems the Railroad
Administration is looking to a uniform
plan of freight rates so that every
shipper in the country will be on an even
plane with his competitors. II is realized
that this cannot be fully accomplished
under present conditions as long as state
railroad commissions have rate making
powers.
Members of these State commissions
have been meeting in this city this week
and fighting what they term usurpation
OF their powers and control over State
rates. There IL a wide gap between
them and the Railroad Administration.
which sees in them organizations of
great value but only in an advisory
capacity.

US COMPTROLLER
EXPECTS NO PANIC
Outlook Is for Good Times,
Williams Says, Because Ma
ton Is So Strong.
RECORD BEST IN 40 YEARS
Only One Bank Suspension
Has Occurred in This
Calendar Year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.--John Skeltoh
Williams, Comptroller of the Currency
and director of the division OF finance
and purchase of the Railroad Admins
tratlon. declared in a review OF the
financial and Industrial outlook that
there is no excuse for fear or pessimlsm
and no reason for wild extravaganza or
frantic optimism In the nation to-day.
I'VE have" he said. money. enough
resources, men and brains. We have
TO mobilize all the wisdom, viril!ty, con-
servatism, courage and wealth We can
command to adjust ourselves to the new
responsibilities and duties put upon us,
to cooperate with our associated de-
mocracies and allies in givinS peace.
freedom and happiness to the world. We
have n vast load 10 carry. We have
vast strength with which to carry II.
The firm hold which the Govern
ment found It necessary to take to pre-
vent runaway markets for the necessi-
ties OF life and for the raw materials
needed In industry may now be exer-
cised IN conservative and healthy way
to establish n reasonable equilibrium
and to prevent destructive and sudden
movements which sometimes In the past
have precipitated panics.
There is no reason why this country
need fear such commercial revolutions
or financial crises as those through
which we have passed in the earlier
years of our history.
THE agricultural. mining and indus
trial activities nf thia country are eni0y-
ing generally phenomenal prosperity. and
from financial standpoint our backs
are to-day stronger and better able to
cope with any situation which may arise
than they have ever been In the past.
I'VE have raised in the past eighteen
months nearly $4,000, 900. 900 from the
sale OF Liberty bonds, and yet the de.
posits Of our national banks to-day are
several billion dollars more than they
were before we attempted to place the
First Liberty loan.
AS an evidence of :he improved man.
agement and strengthened position of the
national banks Of the country. 1t is
deeply gratifying to point to the fact
that during this calendar year OF 1918. in
which the strain upon our banking re-
sources has been greater than at any
time during our past history. there has
been only one national bank suspension
in our entire country. There has been
no such record ms this for nearly forty
years past.
I'm the coming world adjustments the
fruits OF the earth OF industry and Of
commerce must be divided between cap
ital and labor on the basis OF equity and
Justice, and this will increase unspeak-
ably the comfort and health and welfare
of our people and OF all peoples"

Revision of Constitution.


Trade and other rvalries are bound
to occur after the war has finally been
terminated, Senator Poindexter said, and
he asserted that such a league as ap-
proved not only would not adhere to
the Monroe Doctrine but would neces-
state a revision OF the Constitution Of
this country.
1T is league OF nations" declared
Senator Owen, that brought autocracy
in Europe to its knees"
Senator Poindexter interrupted TO say
that the United States was but an 'as-
sociate" in the war. The Oklahoma Sem
ator replied that this was mere ex-
preston OF diplomacy"
Senator Poindexter insisted. however
that there was a distinction. and said
the United States was not nominally
a part IN the beginning OF the events
ending the war;" the downfall OF Bull
garia, Turkey and Austria
Germany, Senator Owens said in re-
suming his speech, blocked formation OF
a league Of nations Mt the Hague con-
vention and he declared that this Is the
time for the leagues establishment. Such
league, he said, would not interfere
with a nations tariff or other internal
affairs, and he declared that without
some such arrangement nations must
continue to increase their armed forces
on land and sea.
When Senator owen referred TO
Premier Lloyd Georges Endorsement Of
the Presidents proposal for a league OF
nations. Senator Poindexter said:
81 can see why a British free trader
should eagerly grasp at a plan that
would give great gain to his country"
The Oklahoma Senator insisted. how
ever, that the British Premier desires
only a peace founded on Justice and
humanity and said that America now
has the opportunity OF centuries to assist
in the universal establishment OF the
people.
When Senator Owen concluded the
Senate adjourned until Monday.

Answers ROOSEVELT. Objections.

Regarding opposition of Col Roose-
welt to the admission OF Germany into
the league, Senator Walsh, in approving
the plan. said that unless Germany is
admitted the other nations of the world
must continue to maintain large land
ard sea forces.
Senator Walsh read from writings OF
II. G. Wells, the British author, prais-
ing President Wilson as the leader of
English political thought and discuss
ing the objections to the league. MIR.
Weiss statement that "a subsidized
press opposes disarmament brought a
protest from Senator Reed OF Missouri,
Democrat, against the argument that
men who are opposed TO the league
oppose it for selfish reasons"
Senator PoiHdeXter attacked Mr.
Wells, characteriz.ng him as n brilliant
writer, a Socialist, pacifist and interna.
tionalLst, belonging to "a great class OF
radicals" whose doctrines are the samt
as those advocated by William Hohen.

owen declared that no one believed oil
had suggested that the Monroe DOCTRINE

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
PenrOse Suggests That Free
Trade Advocates May BE
Backing Plan.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15,-The plan for
a League of Nations to enforce peace,
as proposed by President Wilson in his
fourteen principles and Endorsed by
allied statesmen. was criticised and ap-
proved in debate to-day in the Senate.
Senators Walsh of Montana and owen
of Oklahoma, both Democrats. praised
the plan and commended the indorse-
ment Of il by Premier Lloyd George and
other British leaders in recent speeches.
while Senator PoindeXter, Republican,
of Washington declared such n league
would necessitate revision OF the Fed
eral Constitution and virtually would
bring about the abrogation OF the Mon
roe Doctrine.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
characterized the plan as novel idea"
which would be carefully considered He
also inquired as to whether the league
was not being advocated for the pur-
pose of furthering free trade.
During the debate Senator owen de-
clared that a league of nations was
responsible for bringing autocracy in
Europe to its knees" He denied that the
league as proposed would in any way
interfere with this country's tariff or
internal affairs and declared this Is the
logical and opportune time for Its es-
tablishment.

KEHOE FAVORED
AT GRACEVILLE

GRACEVILLE, Fla, May 24.-(Specia
Correspondence.)- 1.-The Kehoe-Smith-
wick debate scheduled to take place
here tomorrow, Saturday took place
this afternoon. Notwithstanding how
ever a good crowd assembled and lis
tened attentatively to the speakers for
about two hours. A conservative esti-
mate places Kehoe a favorite and will
lead in the voting on June 4 at Grace
vile. There was nothing in the argu-
ments to detract any of Kehoes
strength, however Mr.. Smithwick made
a very good address. A special feature
OF the meeting is that no mud sling
ing of any kind was INDUCED In but
on the contrary each paid the other
compliments. Mr.. Kehoe has on several
occasions taken up measures at Wash
ington and obtained results for the in-
terests of the people here and his pop
ularity was very evident upon his ar
rival when mingling with the people
on the street.
