Hines made 1t clear that 1t is not
the policy of the railroads to stop any
improvements unless absolutely neces-
aary.
No increase in rates Is contemplated,
Hines said, since the financial prob

he indicated that any disturbance of
the railroad labor would be the last

NEW SALES SCHEME
Government Controlled Provi-.
sions Are Put on Market in
Paris Public Squares; Hope
for 40 Per Cent Slump.
BY JOHN d. GANDT.

Paris, March 6+-The French gov
ernment started an offensive against
profiteering today with the expecta-
tion of lowering the cost of living in

OF governmental controlled provisions.
More will be opened as soon as pos
sible. These supplies consist princi-
pally Of food bought from inter -allied
commissions already in existance. The
state will transport them to the SELL
ing places by special train. The gov
ernment hopes this scheme will re-
suit In reduction of other commodi-
ties through indirect compression.
The model scientific ration for an
average man as worked out by the
tnter-allied commission at present
costs 65 cents a day in Paris; AZ cents
In New York and S5 cents in London.
Under the new government sales sys-
tenn the cost will be only 80 cents a
day. If the Paris experiment is sue
cessful food will be sent to other
towns where it will be retailed either
by the municipalities or approved
merchants, subject to state control.
The ministry of food SUPPLIES also is
arranging system of workmans res
taurants in Paris capable of serving
100000 meals a day. Charges will be
reduced 80 per cen by obtaining the
principle supplies direct from the gov
ernment. Three hundred thousand
tons of DroVisionS have haep hrouoht
to Paris within the last five days.
Herbert Hoover has placed at the
disposal of the ministry information
obtained by the American food admin
istration which is said to have proved
helpful in forming plans for the new
system.

Senator Borah, leader of the oppo-

speeches are the first of a series to
be made in practically every state, in
opposition to the provisions Of the

Every senator who joins in the
campaign, with the possible excep-
tion of Borah, plans to make it plain
to his audiences that it is not a league
of nations he is opposed to, but this
league as outlined in the tentative
constitution.

Borah is opposed to any league on
the ground that it is Americas busi-
ness to stay out of permanent alli-
ances with foreign nations. Other
senator's, who signed the "round robin"
presented to the senate by Senator
Lodge, favor a world organization up

president Wilson is trying to
force on the United States his

out and your duty to study, the
dangers that Iurk in the proposal

tack President Wilson except by

That sponsors of the proposed
league have no more authority for de-

FAILED TO EXPLAIN.
That President Wilson said there
was a reason for every provision but
in his two speeches in this country and
his talk with congressman. did not re-
veal one of the reasons.
That the proposed league will fail
because it tries to do more than the
world Is ready for now.
That Europe is counting on Ameri-
