"Prcsident Wilson did not take over the
railroads OF this country to test out The
merits Of government ownership or gov
eminent operation,' adds & The New York
Evening Sum-" Indeed y
"He took them over because in a national
CRISIS 1t was necessary that the railroads
should DO things which, under operation bv
their managers and owners, the law will not
let them do. He took them over to provide
Tor them imperative financing which, in this
war situation could not be provided in any
other way. He took them over as a war
measure"
And this paper therefore concludes that
Congress should unequivocaly declare it's
intention to return the roads at some
fixed time. Similar views are held bv
1.-The New York Herald" and "The phila
delphia Inquirer
While The Cleveland Plain Dealer" fo!.

back after the war. Zone lesson. at
least" says "The New York Globe" "has
emerged from the freight Discrimination
at Atlantic ports and the breakdown of
the nations railroads." 1t is the lesson
that
"Whatever changes occur after the war the
railroads must not be allowed to revert IN

tore the war, with its waste and duplication

means converted to government ownership
But every one realizes that eastern

grain movements in the West, the western
roads must take cognizance of port facilities
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and that
to attain this careful interocking of mil
roads with other industry there must be ;.

"The Brooklyn Eagle" is more en-
phatc. Congress will not return an affirm

be closed on government ownership bv

The North American Review War

there is one common note-tElat the War

runs about two years behind its plans. "
