All Conditions Impossible.

MI. Root precedes his conclusion with
the statement that lit is apparent that
the people of the country do not wish
TO enter upon a permanent system of
government operation. The railroads
are to be returned to private owner
ship" he said, "and they can not be
permitted to go back to uncontrolled
operation of the earlier period"
He maintains also that some provi-
sion must be made Ito prevent the on
tinuance OF the steady progress toward
bankruptcy which characterized the
decade before the government took pos
session In 1911" He points out that
half the people Of the United States
are interested directly or indirectly In
the 81, 600, 900, 900 of securities repre-
senting the railroad investment OF the
country and that one-duarter Of the

only a small part OF the reason for

the value OF these securities. Railroad

HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT
IS BECOMING STRONGER

VIENNA, May IL by the Associated
Press, Reports from Budapest say
that the position OF the Hungarian
communist government appears to have
grown stronger In the last few days.
The halt Of the Rumanian advance
has encouraged the communists, who
believe that the Runanians undertook
more than they were able to accom-
plish If their intention was to reach
Budapest. tOffiCial announcement has
been made that the allied troops NOV
ing on Budapest were ordered late last
week to halt their advance by the peace
conference The Rumanians, however,
have effected "A junction with the
C2echo- Slovaks and have cut off COM
m%unication between Budapest and Rus
STA by way of the Ukraine.
The peace negotiations at Paris are
being watched closely by the Commun-
ist government. The Nolks Timme and
other newspapers in Budapest dehohnce
the peace treaty as "capitalistic," aim
ing at the ~enslavement of 'our noble
German brothers."
Because there is no cloth factory In
operation the Hungarian government
has ordered further acquisitions o.
cloth. cotton, linen goods and the bed
and personal clothing of the men ant
women of the bourgeoisie for ,ise HI
making white underwear for the red
guard army. Women of the hourgeolsle
are being forced to make over thelI
own lingerie into shirts and other gar.
ments.
The communist government appHr-
entity is working against time in the
hope that the peasants OF Rumania viii
revolt and erect a communist govern
ment.
Religious schools in Hungary have
been secularized and theological semi.
naries are closed. Representations by
the allies have saved the converts.
The communist government has made
an announcement that It Is proud of the
fact that there Is neither drunkenness
nor begging in Hungary.

the removal Of the roads from the ju-
tlsdlctIon of the present state commits
slohs' as steps proposed prior to the
return OF the railroads to private own

In a letter read today before the Mis-

mere, Mr.. Roots letter was read by
= Dawes Warfteld, president Of the
National Association Of Owners Of Rail-
road securities, who had requested an
opinion from MIR. Root as advisory
eOunsel to the association,
As an alternative Mr.. Root %unquali-
tledly ihdorsed the plan put forward by
the security owners association under
which congtess would fix a fair rate
OF return for the railroads Of each
alternating district AS a whole and re-
quire the ~rate-making authorities to fix
rates which would presumptively yield
mat return, In the event of any road
making more than the prescribed re-
urn the excess would be taken by the
government and used to promote pub
lie interest in transportation.
A general rate fixed by the govern
ment for all railroads. MIR. Root con-
tends, has this defect: II the rate is
fixed 80 as to give a fair return to
weak roads II will give an excessive
return to the stronger roads, while II
the rate is fixed on the basis of an
equitable return to the strong roads 1t
would drive out of business their weak

Mr.. Hare.
French opposition to the proposed

centered on the acquisition Of manufac-

and 1t was said this opposition would
be voiced in the Chamber of Deputies
on Thursday. The acquisition Of food
stuffs and raw materials, 1t was said,
is generally approved.
Both American and French head.
quarters demured at naming the exact
figure which was offered. The Ameri

their part to give out the amount. The
French volunteered the information that
the amount had not yet been decided
upon. A well Informed deputy. who is
a member of the budget commission, told
the correspondent in the chamber that
$500, 900, 900 would prove as accurate
an estimate as had been made.
