the need was passed. and the act would
lapse. Heaaddcd there was no intention
to renew it. Whether Great Britain
would require conscription in the future
in any shape of form. Mr.. Lloyd George
said depended not upon the opinion
which he now expressed. but upon the
peace terms which were made. The
primo minister said:
What drove US TO CONSUMPTION was
the existence OF conscript. armies on
the continent that inevitably rushed the
world into war. They could not have
great military machines there without
tempting the men at the head Of them
to try their luck with those machines.
The German always felt there was
nothing to resist their perfect military
machine.
IF you want a permanent peace; II
lou want TO prevent the horrors OF this
war being repeated you must put an
end to conscript armies. on the continent
1of Europe.
The first thing to do is to prevent
the repetition OF biundcrs Of the past
by making it impossible to have those
great conScript armies in the future.

EXTENSION 0F e:
RAIL CONTROL
FOR 5 YEARS.
RECOMMENDED BY
SECRETARY M'ADOO.
Declares Move Would Take
Railroads Out Of Politics, !
and. Test Unity.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I11.-Extension
OF the period Of government control OF
railroads for five years. until January
], 1924. was recommended to congress-
tonight by Director General McAdoo.
Advantages Of this. Mr.. McAdoo said,
arc thai 1t would take the railroad Ques-
tion out Of politics for the present give
time for carrying out an extensive pro-
gram of improvements and provide op.
portunity for fair test Of unified con-
troll to Indicate, the permanent solution
Of the railroad problem.
THE President has given me permis-
sion 70 say that this conclusion accords
with his own view of the matter" MIR.
McAdoo concluded.
The letter was addressed to Senator
Smith. of South Carolina, and Repre-
sentative Simms, chairmen. respectively
Of the senate and house interstate COM
merce committees. Mr. McAdoo ex-
planned that to continue government
operation for 81 months after formal
declaration of peace under present con.
ditions would mean disruption Of morale
among employees and officers and coulds
not enable the government to go ahead
with improvements and purchase or
equipment. Another alternative, the
prompt return of the railroads to prI.z
vate control, without legislation to per.
NIT elimination Of the old wasteful com.
petition, would be "hurtful alike to the
public interest and to the railroads
themselves" he said, land tho difficulty
of obtaining immediate legislation pro-
viding a permanent solution, is appar.
ent. J.
There is one. and. to my mind. only
one. practicable and wise alternative"
Mr. McAdoo continued. "and that Is tc
extend the period Of federal control
from the one year and nine months pro-,
vidcd by the present law. to five years
or until the first day of January, 1924
This extension would take the rnliros6
question out of politics for a reasonable
period. 1t would give composure te
