HINES SECONDS
M'AD00 PLAN
Urges Five-Year Extension
of Control of Railroads
or Early Return.

The fve-year extension of govern
ment control of the railroads recon-
mended to Cosgress by former Direc-
tor General McAdoO was strongly
urged upon the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, yesterday. by
Walker d. Hines. new Director Gen
cTal of Railroads.
Every hardship or difficulty connect
cd with wartime operation of the
railroads is being employed by those
who oppose government ownership or
control as a reason why there should
be no sort OF solution of the railroad
problem except a prompt turning back
OF the roads to their owners, said Mr..
Hines.
advocates of government owner
ship" Mr.. Hines contended, ARE en-
titled to have their case considered or
its merits and not embarrassed by a
necessarily misleadisg showing of the
conditions of Federal control; the eX-
perience Of the war year is not yet
fully available: the presnt year is a
year of readjustment; next year viii be
fairly normal. The results of these
years ought all to be available, as
they will be by the spring of 1921. be-
fore a final Judgment on the general
proposition can be reached" He con-
tinued:
IF the extension be granted. There
will be an opportunity by the spring
of 1921 for an intelligent survey of
Federal control under war conditions,
readjustment conditions and normal
peace conditions, and the disposition
then made will far more likely be per
manent and satisfying than a dispo-
sitiOn forced in the meantime"
Labor is entitled to this more de.
lIberate course. Mr.. Hines insisted
because ct present the unfair infer
snce IS perSistentIy drawn that the
heavy operating costs are necessarily
due to the increased rate of wages
whereas they are largely due to con-
ditiOns. and the position of LABOR
should not be prejUdiCed by forcing
a conclusion before there is time tC
see the results of the increased
wages under peace conditions.
The five-year extension does not
necessarily mean government owner,
ship. the Director General said. II
will then be entirely possible to re-
store operations of all the separate
companies If that Is desired.
Many people sincerely believe in
government ownership; their attitude
'' ''iliPoi ai ilE tSIpstN OS 'ii' ~
ent temporary reaction; yet no sOlu-
tiOn adopted in this temporary period
OF reaction will be permanent.
Mr.. Hines said il Congress did not
grant the five-year extensions, he be
lieved it would be contrary to the
public interest to hold them the TWEEN
ty-One months. He allayed the fears
of those who profess to believe that
II the extension isn't granted, the
President will suddenly and without
warning turn the roads back to their
owners.
Mr.. Hines had prepared a lengthy
statement of his views on the railroad
problem. but did not complete its
reading to the committee at yestcr-
days hearing. and will be heard fur
ther today or later in the week.

Embarrassment Growing.

E.mbarrass sment of President Wilson
and the American Peace Commission
il growing daily through increasing
and persistent demands that the
United States accept responsibility
for governing certain territories to
be placed under Jurisdiction of the
League Of Nations.
The position of the President and
the American pIenipotentiaries II
that they have no mandate from
the American Congress and the Amer
lean people to accept such response
bility.
Some mandate. i'm the President S
view, was imperative to make the
League of Nations vital. thus insur-
ing the permanent peace of the
world. Now it seems more and more
that settlements which will insure
permanent peace must be reached
upon the basis OF at least partial
American responsibility for the su-
pcrvision of some territory under the
League of Nations.
Hopes to Avoid TangIcs.
President Wilson's plan of action. it
is understood. will be to have the plan
OF a league of nations adopted with
out committing America to any spe-
ciaI responsibility under the plan.
But to make that plan completely
successful. the allies and other Eu-
ropean peoples think We should con-
tinUe to aid where aid is necessary.
SO the American plenipotentiaries are
now saying to Congress, in effect:
1t Is for you to say what part OF
the responsibility and Of the burdens
you think the United States ought to
bear. if any"
II Congress accepts the Presidents
opinion as to what should be done he
will feel authorized to proceed. If
not. he will lay the whole matter be-
fore the country on a speaking tour.
No Decision on Submarines
The writer can state positively
that no decision has as yet been
reached as to the future of subma-
rines. The British navy wants the
submarine to be declared an outlaw
cd weapon. Some American officers
side with the British. Another view,
however is that the submarine is a
necessary and inexpensive means of
protection for the great American
coast line. and also for the seaports
of a smaller nation against aggres-
sion by a strong nation.
One view is that the use of sub
marines should be restricted to a
three-miIe limit. Besides. it is said
to be practically impossible to pre-
vent a nation from making parts or
submarines in time of peace aSd as
semble them in time of war.
In this connection il is pointed out
that parts of more than 176 sub
. marines were found in Germany
after the armistice had been
signed.
