Seeks to Boost Rail Control Plan Thru
Promised Waterways.

Santa Barbara. CAL, Jan. 27.-W. q.
McAdoo. former director general OF
railroads and former secretary Of the
treasury, made public today tele-
gram in which he urged five year gov
eminent control Of the railroads as
necessity for the development Of inland
waterways and for the coordination
Of the railroads and waterways with
the new American merchant marine.
The telegram, addressed to Albert
Krell, chairman Of the Miami and Erie
Improvement OF the Cincinnati Cham
Der of Commerce. was sent In response
to an invitation to attend an inland
waterways meeting today at Defiance.
Ohio. The message said:
Regret 1t is impossible for me to
attend your inland waterways meeting
at Defiance. Jan. 81.
TT seems to me futile to expect great
sums Of money on the development Of
our inland waterways unless our gov
eminent adopts an intelligent policy
about railroad control. The future OF
waterways development Is absolutely
dependent upon a government control
which will enforce the operation OF wa
terways and the railroads as CO.
ordinated and articulated system which
will give the people the benefits Of an
efficient combination Of water and rail
facilities. This cannot be accomplished
under the present railroad law. which
provides that the railroads cannot be
controlled by the government for a
longer period than twenty one months
after the return OF peace. Within a
twenty one months period. no substan-
tial development Of existing waterways
can be made, nor can their operation
in so brief period afford any ade-
quate test OF their values.
Upon the return OF the railroads to
private ownership. which must be made
within the twenty-one months period,
as the present law provides. the cut
throat competition Of the railroads un-
der private control with the partially
developed railroads will effectively Ae-
stroy water transportation as hereto
fore and the peoples investment In
these facilities will continue TO be Of
little II any value.
II have urged the congress to extend
the period Of federal control Of the
railroads for five years because that
will give us time to develop some Of the
most important existing water routes
coordinate them with the railroads
and prove their worth as part OF a
great American transportation system.
II also feel that the government
should control the railroads and the
inland waterways for a period Of five
years so that they may In turn be CO.
ordinated with our government mer-
chant marine which has been built at a
cost of more than two billion dollars
and which under existing law the
government controls for five year
period.

UNEMPLOYMENT INEVITABLE.

Government officials and union labor
officials are worried about the problem
of unemployment. As the munstioh
factories close down and the army
rehabilitation goes on men find dih'-
Guilty in finding new jobs. Cnemploy-
ment Is now officially reported
from fifty-fve cities and exists in
great many more.
1t is TO be expected. 1t had 70 BE-
A period between the closing OF NUM-
ton and army jobs and the beginning
OF construction work in tho sprihs
was Inevitable. The closing months Oh
the war had practically put a stop
to all building enterprise turnout the
county. one had TO obtain a permit
from his local council OF defense to
erect even a $500 building. The
armistice came without warning and
it came late in the fall. Building en-
terprtse could not be expected to start
up again before spring. Farm JOBS
will not be ready until then.
There is the uncertainty as to
wages. Men always refuse to accept
cut in wages even when they Know
that wage reductions are inevitable
They will fight before they will permit
their own wages to come down so
employers discharge high priced men
In order to start up again with cheaper
men. Only in this way can the wage
scale be reduced but wages must come
down where they were inflated by war
work just as prices OF commodities
must come down. Nobody wants TO
slide down first so the commercial
struggle must so on.
Employers in the peace industries
and building construction Will wait
until they can make sure what their
costs are to be. The hiatus between
war Jobs and new jobs can not be
avoided by anything that the govern
ment or labor unions can do. We must
let business readjust itself to after the
war conditions individuals can help
by taking on all the men they can use
with profit. Investors in new enter
prise will proceed cautiously and
should do so. Business must get the
war gas out of it and the sooner it Is
done the better it will be for all Of US.

ROOSEVELT CALLED" the KAISER.

Roosevelt's apparent premonition

the United States and voice that

all Of the rest Of US were counselins

who wrote Secretary OF State Hays
biography. In 1901 Germany pursuaded
Italy and England to join her in
blockading the coast Of Venezuela I'M
til that more or less irresponsible gov
eminent paid some old debts to its
foreign creditors. President Roosevelt
objected and England and Italy read
lily agreed to arbitration. The kaiser.
persisted until the United States navy
was about TO be ordered into action.
Roosevelt, the only private citizen
who ever reviewed the German troops
at the invitation of the kaiser was
also well known to the kaiser as the
one American citizen who had forced
the kaiser TO recognize the Monroe
doctrine.
President Roosevelt summoned the
German ambassador to the White
House and told him verbally that un-
less the kaiser consented to arbttra-
ton Of the Venezuela matter the
American squadron under Admiral
Dewey would be given orders. by noon
ten days later, to proceed to the
! Venezuela coast and prevent any TAX
! ing possession of Venezuelan territory.
| The German ambassador began to
! protest that his imperial master, hav-
! ing once refused to arbitrate. could not
change his mind. The president said
| that he was not arguing the question,
because arguments had already been
gone over until no useful purpose
would be served by repeating them;

which the ambassador might think it
important to transmit to Berlin.

Holleben again called on the president,
but said nothing Of the Venezuelan
matter. When he rose to 60, the

Of this fact, Admiral Dewey would be
instructed to sail a day earlier than
the day he, the president, had
originally mentioned. Much perturbed,
the ambassador protested; the presi-
dent informed him that not stroke of
a pen had been put on paper: that If
the emperor would agree to arbitrate,
he, the president, would heartily praise
him for such action and would treat It
as taken on German Initiative; but
that within forty eight hours there
must be an offer to arbitrate or Dewey
would sail with the orders Indicated.
