ASKS THAT RAILROADS
STAY UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL
UNTIL TEST PROVES SOLUTION
Director General Says Congress Should Act Operation
Turned ODer to PrDae Ownership at Earliest Posi-
Bile Moment; Fears Disruption of Morale of
Employees and Officers by Delayed Action

ing or disproving the theory of gov
ernment ownership or any other
kind of theory. The railroads have
been operated for the past year with
the purpose of serving efficiently the
paramount needs of the war and
at the same time furnishing the
best possible service to the public,
whether such operation tended to
prove or to disprove any theory OF
railroad control, no matter what 1t
might be. 1 have formed no opin-
ion myself as to what is the best
disposition of the railroad problem
because the test has not been sufii-
cient to prove conclusively the right
solution of the problem. I believe
that q five-year test will give the
American people the right answer.
An ounce of experience is worth q
ton of theory.
Denies Ownership Conversion -
There are those who may say
that an extension of five years for
such test will mean government
ownership. Personally, l do not be-
lieve it. But whether such a test
would indicate that the ultimate
solution shall be government own
ership or a modified form of private
ownership under effective Federal
regulation, should not cause us to
hesitate or refuse to act"
If Congress does not extend the
time for government control, said
Mr.. McAdoo. the railroads should
be returned to private management
"at the earliest possible moment" ]"
Practical difficulties of continuing
government operation under exist
ing authority, he pointed out, are
the growing conflicts of authority
between state and Federal jurisdic-
tions, inadequacy of the half bill
lion dollar revolving fund for financ-
ing mprovements. inability to force
railroads to pay for cars and loco
motives without litigation, and to
require terminal improvements.
Philadelphia, Dec. 12. - Recon-
mendation by Director General Nc
Adoo that government control Of
railroads continue until January,
1924, was no surprise TO the rail-
road executives of the country, 1t
was learned last night. The railroad
executives advisory committee,
which is in conference here on prob
lens relating to the return of the
roads to private operation, had in
timations from Washington that the
administration was considering the
advisability of recommending an eX-
tension of government control.
The advisory committee is made
up of twenty-four members, repre-
senting 125 railroads throughout the
country. This committee at a meet
ing in New York December 4, adopt
ed resolutions that government own
ership and operation of American
railways sis not conducive to the
highest economic efficiency of the
country"
The sessions are executive and
it was stated that probably nothing
will be made public until the COM
mittee finishes its work.
1t was pointed out that the recon-
mendation of Director McAdoo ex-
tends government control of rail-
roads three years beyond the maxi
mum time estimated by President
Wilson in his recent address to Con-
gress-

AGAINST CHINA s
BANK SYSTEM

PEKING Aug. l9.-An agreement
recently concluded by China and ia
pan for discontinuance of specie re-
demption by the Chinese Provincial
Government Bank OF Manchuria and
for preferential guaranteed value or
LEGAL bank notes Is declared by com
pctent authorities to AFFORD Japanese
business interests in that territory
such an advantage over those of other
all competition. Already one big
American concern has ordered sus-
pension of business in Manchuria, and
il is said others will inevitably have
to do the same.
II transpires that the Fengtien bu-
reau OF finance. a Chinese institution,
borrowed on April - from Japan, TOT
the purpose of REIMBURSEMENT of the
reserve" of the Provincial bank. the
sum of 100000 yen. and gave as Sc
Curitv all of the Chinese holdings in
the Pen-hsi-hu Colliery and Mining
Company. These 100000 yen were
required to be deposited with the Muk-
den branch of the Bank OF Chosen.
Japanese concern, and 1t was agreed
that for every Sl,0O0.0O0 additional
silver notes issued by the Provincial
bank, 100000 yen more should be
deposited In the event that the chi
nese provincial authorities are unable
to repay the loan at maturity, the
Japanese gain control of valuable col
| lieries in South Manchuria.
| The advantage to the Japanese bust
ness interests lies in the fact that
every local bank note held by them

has its face value guaranteed by
100000 yen deposited for that pur-
pose. whereas other nations have no
cash guarantee.
Specie redemption ceased on May
-. For several years Japan has in
has its face value guaranteed by
hipcse banks in Manchuria at the
rate of $lp.rpo month. In conso-
fnence the Chinese banks were in
financial straits and had to look to
Japan for relief Tn" Immediate re-
suit of the suspension was dopres-
sion of the local notes and an inila-
ton OF the Pciyang dollar to 81 - in
terms OF minor coins. which is the
highest point ever reached.
Japanese under the agreement with
China are able to indemnify them
selves for any loss occurring from
acceptance of small coin money or
paper notes and are thus able to un-
derseii their competitors. For Sl.2O
in small coin notes they can obtain a
silver Mexican dollar which costs 9TH
ers Sis. The Chinese authorities fix
sl2o as the arbitrary rate. The Jap
anesc calculate that anything above
that represents a loss to them, and
they are at liberty to compensate
themselves accordingly out OF the

\ protest by American government
officials against this discrimination

"ral 10 make an exception in favor OF
specified persons and firms, granting
the same privilege enjoyed by the
Japanese. but the offer was refused,
since 1t was not available to all Amer
leans doing business in Manchuria.
