Makes Suggestion
 For Rail Problem.
By HOLLAND

New York, December 16.-(Specia1.) Sometime ago a man of large experience in financial affairs and a profound stu dent of industrial and railroad condi- tions offered, tentatively, suggestion or a plan which might, he thought, solve the difficult railroad proposition, so that the government, the railroads and the people would be content. His suggestion was that the government should buy the shares of the American railroads. It may be that MT. McAdoo had something of that kind in mind when he contemplated as some of his friends asserted he did foreign governments will deliver to the treasury department to take up the de- mand notes which represent credits or cash loans to these nations by purchasing for the government all the American rail- road shares.
 But this financial authority went fur- ther. He suggested that while the own ership of the railroads should be in the possession of the government and there fore the people, on the other hand the public who owns the bonds that represent the fixed obligations of the railroads should continue in that ownership. Then again he suggested that the government permit individual or personal direction or operation of the railroads so that in that way individual initiative would remain unimpaired.
 George w. Perkins recommended that the railroad corporations of the United States should be federalized: in other words. act under federal charter Mr. Perkins's argument in favor of this proposition was that were the railroads to secure authority for operating by means of federal charters then necessary publicity, wise and adequate control Of regulation would be secured and the va rious vexing problems due to the fact that so many railroads operate under state charters would at last be elimi- mated.
 It may be that suggestions of this kind have been heard and needed by some of those who are of influence in Congress. Certainly one of the fundamental prin- ciples behind MT. Perkins suggestion and that of the high authority just quoted, appears to be contained in the bill which a day or two ago was introduced in the House of Representatives by MT. Gray, who represents one of the New Jersey districts. The objects upon which is based this Gray bill are similar in some respects to those which are behind MT. Perkins suggestion and that of the man who recommended the government ownership of the railroads Today almost all of the railroads of the United States are operated as though behind them stood federal charters. MT. Gray goes much further, however, than some of those who have given deep thought to the railroad problems, for under his bill, If it becomes a law. the board of directors of each railroad system would consist, first, Of representatives of the bond holders and the stockholders, and last of all of the employees. The government MT. Gray feels assured, will benefit in provision of this kind because 1t would share in the profits, although no money would be paid interest charges, had established a cumulative sinking fund and also a small cumulative dividend to the stock holders.

HOOVER TO

. Berlin, Friday, Nov Icy
Wireless to London)-In his message
to Secretary Of State Lansing at
Washington today DR.. w. s. Solf, art
er appealing to him to tntercede with
President Wilson to send peace dele
gates to The Hague as soon as pos
sible in order to save the German
people from perishing by starvation
and anarchy, suggested that Herbert
c. Hoover, the American food admin
istrator, be assigned to the task. Of
assisting the German people.
This section Of DR.. Solf's message
eeads:
american delegates could discuss
with the plenipotentiaries Of the
German people the details of how
the ,magnanimous help Of America
could save in time, our fatherland
from the worst. Perhaps the matter
could be put in the tried hands of
Mr.. Hoover who has rendered such
great services in Belgium.
1.-The acceptance of oppressive ar
mistice conditions, the necessity OF
supplying from scanty provisions the
armies that are streaming back from
.the front, the cessation of navigation
in the North sea and Baltic by the
continuance of the blockade which
imperils our provision supply and the
disturbed conditions in the east,
make. the situation in our country
daily more unbearable. The peril can
be avoided only by the most speedy
help"
