them. What the country chiefly needs
is that all it's means of transportation
should be developed, its railways, its
waterways, it's highways, and its
countryside roads. Some new ele-
ment of policy, therefore, is absolute
Iy necessary,-necessar for the ser
vice Of the public, necessary for the
release of credit to those who are ad-
ministering the railways, necessary
for the protection Of their security
holders. The old policy may be
changed much or little, but surely it
cannot wisely be left as it was. l
hope that the congress will have q
complete 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
and I must do so at very early date

only to the January of 1921. The full
equipment Of the railways which the
federal administration had planned
could not be completed within any
such period. The present law does not
permit the use of the revenues of the
several roads for, the execution Of
such plans except by formal contract
with their directors, some of whom
will consent while some will not, and
therefore does not afford sufficient
authority to undertake improvements
upon the scale upon which it would be
necessary to undertake them. Every
approach to this difficult subject-mat-
ter of decision brings us face to face,
therefore, with this unanswered qUes-
Ition: What is it right that we should
do with the railroads, in the interest
of the public and in fairness to their
owners?
Let me say at once that 1 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
owners of the railroads to leave the
question unanswered and that it will
presently become my duty to relin-
guish control Of the roads, even be-
| fore the expiration of the statutory
SperiOd, unless there should appear
some clear prospect in the meantime
of a legislative solution. Their re-
lease would at least produce one ele-

WILSON MUCH CONCERNED
OVER RAILROAD CONTROL,

In his message to congress Presi-
dent Wilson said:
The question which causes me the
greatest concern is the question of the
policy to be adopted towards the rail-
roads frankly turn to you for coun-
sci upon it. l have no confident judg-
ment of my own. 1 do not see how any
thoughtful man can have who knows
anything about the complexity of the
problem. It is a problem which must
be studied, studied Immediately, and
studied without bias or prejudice.
Nothing can be gained by becoming
partisans of any particular plan of
settlement.
1t was necessary that the admins
tration OF the railways should be TAX
en- over by the government so long as
the war lasted. It would have been
impossible otherwise to establish and
carry through under a single direc-
tion the necessary priOrities Of ship
ment It would have been impossible
otherwise to combine maximum pro-
ductiOns at the factories and mines
and farms with the maximum possible
car supply totake the products to the
ports and markets; impossible to route
troop shipments and freight shipments
without regard to the advantage or
disadvantage Of the roads employed; !;
impossible to subordinate, when
necessary, all questions of conven-
fence to the public necessity; impos-
sible to give all the necessary f1nan-
cial support to the roads from the
public treasury. But all these neces
sites have now been served and the
question is what is best for the rail
roads and for the public in the future

 You have a great deal to learn before you up to standards, and I you that what has been done so far is mere bagatelle compared with what will follow.

 All other nations and among them unfortu nately, the SWISS, are degenerate ana or inferior worth. That is why I have always been proud of being a true Prussian
 Yesterday, again our pastor explained to convincngly that our first parents. Adam and Eve, also Prussians.
