Association Of Owners of Railroad Sc
curities gave the senate Interstate
commerce committee today the securi-
ty holders view of the railroad prob
lem. He urged that the roads be re-

department Of railroads with cabinet
officers at its head.

Australia Objects.

Paris. Jan. 31.-The only govern
ment that was continuing to make OBJ
lection yesterday to the compromise
plan of administering the German COL
.onies was the Australian government,
says the Paris edition of the Daily
Mail today. Her delegates were de-
clared to regard the ownership of
New Guinea as vital to the existence
of Australia. Premier Clemenceau,
however, the newspaper adds, prom
ised Australia his full support in safe
guarding her position.
One result Of the attitude taken by
Italy in yesterdays discussion, the
Daily Mail states, was the decision
that the mandatory system of admin
istration should only be applied to
non-European territories. Thus the
fate of the Adriatic coast, the Balkan
Austrian lands and the French terri
torial claims against Germany which

Crisis Passed.

Paris, Jan. 31.-(By the Associated
Press. 1.-The crisis in the peace nego-
tiations over the disposition to be
made of Germany's colonies, seems to
have passed. momentarily at least. 1t
is too early to say that President Will
sons view has prevailed in it's en-
tirety but in American quarters there
is confidence that a compromise plan
which has been accepted in principle
will be worked out with details which
will be acceptable to the American
viewpoint.
When the supreme council of the
peace conference meets today it will
have before 1t the plain statement

of what tss had said that Soon Gttea::
entering the meeting he summoned
one OF his personal stenographers and
kept him at his side during the ses-
sion.
What he said did not appear in the
official communique but it may be
stated that it was clear reaffirmation
OF the principles for which the presi-
dent has previously contended.
In phrases stripped of diplomatic
niceties, it is understood Mr.. Wilson
told the members of the supreme
council he would not be a party to a
division Of Germany's colonial posses
sions among the powers which now
hold them and then become a party
to league Of nations which in effect
would guarantee their title.
There are differences. that the presi-
dent even referred to q peace of

The net result Of the last two days
of discussion on the colonial ques-
| ton. in the opinion Of many Ameri-
cans here. has been to clear the at

MISSISSIPPI AGAINST AUTOC-
RACY

We extend our hearty congrat-
ulations to the members of the
Supreme Court of the State
of Mississippi in the thoroughly
American decision which they
rendered yesterday in connection
with the unfair, unjust and UNI
reasonable telephone rates which
the autocrat of the postal depart
ment of Washington tried to foist
upon the people.
Mississippi, through the decis-+
ion Of its supreme court, will
come in for most favorable criti-
cism at the hands Of the sister
States, while the men who were
responsible for this just, proper
and thoroughly American decis-
ion, will be pointed out as men Of
heart and brain, big enough and
fearless enough to look the auto
crat of Washington squarely in
the eye, and say to him, so far
shalt thou go and no farther.
They will be referred to as men
who realize that this is a demo-
cratic government, where the
people, the common people, are
entitled to some degree of right
and justice and protection.
They viii be pointed out as
men who are as ready and will
ing to reach the head of auto
cracy. in this country as they
were to smash it in Europe, three
thousand miles away.
