REDFIELD AGAINST

NEW YORK. May 21.-The expert
ence Of the nation in Federal opera
ton Of the railroads. the merchant
marine and the telegraph and tele-
phone line has convinced Secretary
Of Commerce Redfield that such Gov
eminent operation of the great sys-
TENS Of intercommunicatiOn in a
country as large as THO United states
is not good thing. Speaking at
dinner OF the Purchasing Agents AS
ISOLATION here he announced this as
his own settled judgment"
Few would. on reflection. venture
to favor the creation in this country
of condition in which such absolute
power could be cxerted over industry
and. therefore. over the employees Of
industry. as would be the fact il the
Government had in its hands the
power To buy for the railroads, the
merchant marine. the telegraph and
the telephone systems and possibly
other factors of our industrial life"
ne said.
Here would be created a power
within the state which might at any
time exercise, even almost uncon-
sciously exercise, a controlling power
over it.
THE possibility Of favorable buy
ing action thus existing in our rail-
ways becomes concentrated in the
hands of few when these great buy
ing factors are unified under Govern
ment control.
Unless ! wholly mistake. we have
learned from the war a new sense Of
our social unity"
