ROADS, RETURN
Hines Issues Statement APP
proved by President
Outlining Policy.

Immediate or precipitate return OF
the railroads of the country to private
operation Is not contemplated accord
ing to an announcement approved by
President Wilson and made yesterday
by Walker Hines, Director Genera
of Railroads.
Following a conference with Presi-
dent Wilson at the White House
Thursday night. Mr.. Hines outlined
the policy OF the administration in a
letter sent yesterday to the chairman
of the Senate and House committees
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce
and Appropriations. The letter states
that the railroads will not be relin-
quished' from Federal control unit
there has been an opportunity to sec
whether a constructive permanent pro-
gram of legislation Is likely to be con-
sidered promptly and adopted within
a reasonable time"
Since Congress sdjourns Tuesday
noon there is no possibility of any
enactment of railroad legislation at
this session.
Mr.. Hines announcement was
prompted, 1t is said, by the fact that
the morale of the employees Of the
railroads was being injuriously af-
fected by the uncertainty existing as
to the termination OF the period of
control The effect Of the uncertainty
upon the financial and market cir
cles was also taken into considers
ton, 1t is understood.
Director General Hines, William G.
McAdoo and President Wilson all
favor an extension OF the tenure of
control of railroads for FIVE years.

There can be no question that Mr..

Senate Causing Anxiety.
Although members of the Ameri-
can commission say that 1t is
thoroughly understood by the allied
statesmen that under the American
system of government no vote of
confidence on President Wilson'S pol
icy is to be expected. 1t Is nevertheless
true that the French are keenIy
watching the proceedings before the
United States Senate.
Their anxiety for the success of
the league of nations has suddenly
become very keen and decided hos
tility on the part of the American
Senate toward it's ratification
would be regarded here as a rea-
son for alarm.
Japanese Journalists who have
arrived here today reported that
President Wilson and his policy
were constantly gaining popular
favor in Japan. They said the Jap
anese people were now very much
more interested in the success OF
the league of nations plan than
they were in securing possession OF
the Caroline Islands.
Reports from Austria are to the
effect that there is a change of sem
timent on the subject of annexa-
tion to Germany. A new party
OF reported considerable strength
has sprung up, which is advocating
that Austria be made a neutral
state like Switzerland.
