PRESIDENT SPEAKS
BEFORE DEPARTING
ADDRESSES LARGE AUDIENCE
IN NEW YORK 6EFoRE LEAV-
ING FOR FRANCE.

New York.-On the eve of his re-
turn to the peace conference, Presi-
dent Wilson delivered an address
here at the Metropolitan opera house,
urging establishment OF League of
Nations. Former President Taft,
speaking from the same platform, al
so outlined his reasons for believing
that a league should be formed TO
prevent future wars.
Governor Smith of New York IN
troduced both President Wilson and
Mr.. Taft.
The President said in part:
The first thing that | am going
to tell the people on the other side
OF the water is that an overwhelming
majority of the American people is
in favor of the League of Nations. |
know that this is true; | have had
unmistakable intimations of it from
all parts of the country and the voice
rings true in every case / count my.
self fortunate to speak here under
the ununusual circumstances or this
evening. | am happy to associate
myself with Mr.. Taft in this great
cause. He has displayed an eleva-
ton of view and a devotion to puO-
lie duty which is beyond praise.
And | am more happy because
this means that this is not a party
issue. No party has the right to ap-
propriate this issue and no party VIII
in the long run dare oppose it.
I'VE have listened TO so clear ana
admirable an exposition of many cf
the main features of the proposed
covenant of the League of Nations
that it is perhaps not necessary fer
me TO discuss in any particular way
the contents of the document. | viii
seek rather to give you its setting.
| do not know when have been more
impressed than by the conferences of
the commission set up by the confer
erce OF peace TO draw up a covenan,
for the League of Nations. The rep
OF IA nations sat around
that bOard-not young men. not men
in the affairs of their
country, not men inexperienced in
the politics of the world. and the ir-
spring influence OF every meeting
was the concurrence of purpose on .
the part Of all those men TO come to .
an agreement and an effective work .
ing agreement with regard 10 this F..
league of the civilized world"

DECIDE TO KEEP
THE RAILROADS
OFFICIALS AFTER CONFERENCE
DETERMINE ON METHODS OF
ENkNcE OF SYSTEMS.

Washington.-The government has
determined to retain control of the
railroads, despite failure of Congress
TO provide funds for the railroad ad-
ministration and to have the roads
finance themselves for the next few
months through private loans on the
open market or through advances by
the war finance corporation.
Effort will be made to maintain op-
erations on normal scale and to car
ry on as much of the improvement
programme as possible in order to
avoid throwing employees out of work
or otherwise disturbing industrial
conditions. No attempt will be made
TO solve the problem by raising rates.
These assurances were given by
Director-General Hines in public
statement and in an address to the
conference Of governors and mayors
meeting here. At the same time II
developed that the war finance cor
poratiOn has about s337,00O,OOO re-
sources available, and much of this
may go TO railroads to supplement
the sums they can borrow until Con-
gress meets again and has opportun-
ity TO appropriate funds.
After protraCted conference be-
tween Secretary Glass and ther Off
cials of the treasury and war finance
corporation. it was stated that means
would probably be developed to keep.
