problems were being shelved until the
league could be whipped into shape.
The urgency of this matter was
forcibly brought homo to President
'iison by a review Of the fortnight's
work. Practically every important ac-
ton decided on was taken in the name
OF the league Of nations.
Premier Hughes, OF Australia. who
led the opposition in the colonial dis
cussion, called It "a lighting up OF an
empty house Of the league OF nations,
when It doesn't even exist"
The President is, therefore, most
anxious, to hasten the work of the
committees that are framing the
fundamental statutes OF the league.
What II Has Accomplished.
Summed up, the conference has al
ready accomplished in the name of the
league Of nations:
1. Summoned conference with
representatives OF the Russian fac
tfons on Princes Island, in the Sea
OF Marmora, on February 10.
.. Decided upon supervision of the
German colonies In the Pacific and In
Africa and of Turkish territory by
mandatories.
3. Appointed committee to go into
Poland.
4. Taken steps for a settlement Of
the dispute between the Czecho-
Slovaks and the Poles.
8. Named an independent commits
sion to study the claims Of Roumania
and Serbia in Banat and Temesvar.
All the foregoing decisions ere de-
pendent upon the league for universal
approval

| cannot be successfully disposed Of

ship" he said. Arguments OF Gov
ernment ownership advocates are tenn
porarily at a discount by reason OF
reaction from all forms Of Govern
ment control, this being a perfectly
natural aftermath OF the war.
ReaetIonary Tendency.
But it is not only true that the ad-
yocates of government ownership and
operation are temporarily at dis
advantage" said Hines. at is also
true that, after the period OF incon-
lvenience due to the war, the temporary
tendency to reaction from that conui-
tfon is so strong that 1t appears eX-
ceedingIy difficult to get favorable
hearing for any railroad program
whatever, except the prompt turning
back Of the railroads to all the old
railroad companies, with their mutt
farsbus and conflicting interests ana
methods.
81 shall endeavor to point out later
on that there are strong reasons IN
favor Of a solution OF this question:
through a radical reconstruction OF Rri-
vate ownership and management, SO
as to reduce the number OF railroad
companies to comparatively few ana
so as to get for the people the adVan-
tages Of a thorough-going social con-
troll Of the railroads under improved
private management. without the aus
advantage of government ownership.
"But I believe any such plan is at
a disadvantage at the moment. APP
parently every hardship or difficulty
connected with the wartime opera
ton of the railroads proves momen-
tariIy to be regarded as reason
why there should be no sort Of solu-
tion except a prompt turning back OF
the railroads to all the railroad com
panies with new legislation which
really makes no fundamental changes
whatever.
81 do not believe Hines continued,
"this state Of mind will change until
there is an opportunity to look in an
understanding way at the results OF
Federal control under peace condi-
tions. Therefore, the Importance Of
giving a fair and reasonable test to
Federal control under peace condi-
tions, is not merely to give fair
showing to the advocates Of Govern
ment ownership, but also to give
fair showing to the advocates Of
any plan other than the plan OF go
believe that any conclusion which
might be reached before this fair op-
portunity shall be afforded will not
prove TO be a permanent or success
f0l solution of the railroad problem"
Two Years Toe short.
t''Two years is not time enough for
a fair demonstration and a normal
state of miRd," he said.
No plan can be satisfactory which
permits existing OvercapitaliZatio'
and a large number of companies
some strong, some weak, Hines be
lieves.
ANY plan OF private management
ought 70 provide for participation
the Government and perhaps OF la
Dor in the profits in excess OF som
comparatively moderate return" h'
explained.
He wants a small guaranteed re-
turn, efficient concerns to get part
of profits earned in excess.
High operating costs were due to
the war rather than to high wages
Charges to the contrary are unfair to
railroad labor, Hines declared.
