Judge Tucker said that he had
doubts on the matter, but would per-
nit Mr.. Stevenson to proceed, and Mr.
Ford said to Mr.. Stevenson:
II will give you a little explanation
of the way I feel. l myself very seldom
read anything else except the head
lines OF any article. That is one object
Of this case-to try and have people
stick to the truth little more behind
their headlines"
Ford said he considered the whole
article as bad, but Mr., Stevenson con-
tinued to refer to the fact that moth
ing was said about bomb throwing or
overturning the government, amidst in
Vulnerable objections. When the law
yer read the statement that "he takes
the men who stand between him and
service, and Furnishes them for the
service which protects him." Mr.. Ford
said that it was not true.

recollections of such a boast"
Before Mr.. Ford took the stand for
his fifth day as witness, Weymouth
Kirkland, Tribune" lawyer, took the
stand and was examined by his col
league. Elliott G. Stevenson. Both
lawyers held copies cf the report of
testimony of General Weaver on coast
defence before the Military Affairs
Committee Of Congress in 1916. The
purpose was to refute the statement
made in Mr.. Ford's anti i-preparedness
advertisement quoting General Weaver
as saying that the coast defence svs-
tenn was adequate.
The Tribune" lawyer, by following
General Weaver's testimony further
than the advertisement did, showed that

Nation Wide Problem
"The problem," he said, "is not
merely local or political, but of ma
tionwide business importance. and, if
1t is not fairly met, is capable of hav-
ing widespread and disastrous effect
on BUSINESSMAN effect which every
business interest, directly or Indirect
ly, but inevitably, must share.
This is not Il question of the bank
ers' attitude toward the subject. The
ultimate investor fixes the conditions

1t is certain that unless there is a
widespread change in the public atti-
tude toward public utilities the secu-
rity buyer will not hazard his money
in such ventures and the bankers have
no choice but to follow his decision.
Furthermore, it is certain that no sat
lsfactory alternative is left in public
ownership, as there is nothing in the
record Of public ownership on the
whole to warrant the hope that this
may offer solution Of the problem.
"Stripped of all complications, the
question seems to be whether or not
the American public is willing to pay
for service rendered. The alternatives
are simple: either the service will not
be rendered and the growth of our com
munties and the comfort of our people
will be denied, or the cost must be me-
either directly or indirectly througI,
fares, or indirectly through taxes. As
to which of these alternatives is econo-

TO repeat, something had to be done
to protect the public service. Operat-

sufficient money be not earned the
roads cannot run. What would the peo-
pie living in the upper part of Man

Ne1U York Tribune
Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON. July 1s.-Legislation
BY Congress to prevent rate wars" and
10 stabilize the railroad situation dur
Ing the period following Federal con-
troll Of the railroads was recommended
to-day by { E. Clark, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner, before the House
committee holding hearings on recon
struction railroad legislation and the
Esch -Pomerene common carrier bill.
Commissioner Clark favored the on-
action CT legislation Of temporary
character 20 meet conditions likely to
arise Immediately following the return
Of the roads. He urged that some re-
straint as to the rates be placed on the
carriers by providing some agency hav-
ing authority over rates instead of
leaving the initiation of rates entirely
In the hands of the individual traffic
officers of the carriers
He also suggested that Congress au-
thorize the Interstate Commerce Com
mission TO appoint committees for traf-
fc districts, these committees to have
the power to approve or disapprove
proposals from the carriers for changes
In rates.
Approval for Rate Changes
He would further provide that before
. carrier could file with the commission
9 proposal to change rates such pro-
posal would first have to be approved
By the traffic district committee.
These committees, he said, should
be composed of experienced men, Sc
lected with a view to their skill,
knowledge and judicial temperament in
matters relating to railroad problems.
He saw no objection to the shipping
publics being represented on these
committees.
The plan suggested, he said, would
affect only interstate rates, as they
might become an undue burden on in
tersrate commerce and so come under
the jurisdiction of the commission
and the commissions representatives,
which would be the traffic district
committees. If the Esch- Pomerene bill
is made law at the same time, he
said, the commission would have ju-
rlsdlction over cases involving inter
state rates alleged to be causing un-
due burden on interstate commerce.
The commission, he added already has
this authority, as decided in such cases
% the Shreveport case, but the Esch-
Pomerene bill provides for coopera-
ton with the state commissions in dis
posing of such situations.

WASHINGTON, July 1s-The plan
for a tunnel between postoffices at
the Pennsylvania and Grand Central
terminals in New York City was ap-
proved to-day by John c. Koons, First
Assistant Postmaster General. before
the House Committee on Postotfice and
Post Roads
"If there is any place in the United
States where underground mail trans
portation should be feasible it is be-
tween those two places" said Mr..
koons. Mail traffic there is the heav-
lest in the entire country, and we
think it an ideal place to test the tun-
mel plan.
There seems no question about the
success OF the mechanical end of the
scheme. We have always favored any
tunnel plan that would take care Of
