HINES OPPOSED TO
j. s. OWNERSHIP
FavoTS Federal Supervision Of
Lines for Five Years.
WANTS FEW RAIL COMPANIES
Director General Says If McAdoo's
Proposal Is Not Approved Lines
Should Be Turned Back to
Owners at Once.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Director Gen
eral Hines, testifying before the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee
for the first time since his appoint
ment as railroad head, declared he did
not believe in government ownership,
but in organization of a few big rail-
way con4NnieS subject to close gov
eminent supervision.
~ do not believe there is anything
substantial in the argument that five
year extension of government opera
ton would necessarily mean govern
ment ownership. / believe there can
be a form of radically reconstructed
private ownership with such close gov
ment representation on the boards
of directors, as will give the public
and labor all the benefit of govern
ment ownership and at the same time
will preserve the benefits of private
and self-interested initiative, and will
avoid the political difficulties which
perhaps are inSeparable from govern
ment ownership.
Sees Solution of Problem.
81 believe that all the objects which
think must be achieved in order to
obtain n permanent solution can be ac-
complished through the creation of a
comparatively few railroad companies
which will have capitalization eq4al
only TO the real value of the property
aud which will have a moderate guar
antced return With the right TO par
ticipate moderately in any additional
profits"
To Permit development Of a compre-
housyc and permanent solution Mr..
Hines renewed Mr.. McAdoo's recon-
incubation for five-year extern
Sion Of government control and eN-
planned that II this were not done he
believed il would be best for all inter
ests concerned to relinqush govern
mcnt control without waiting for ex-
piration Of the 21-month period pro
vidcd by existing law
Explains His Reasons.
Discussing the reason for taking
more time for considering legislation,
he said:
"a very strong feeling prevails that
this question is being pushed now by
the railroad executives because they
feel that the going Is particularly
good and that they had better make
private management hay while the
anti-gOvernment ownership sun con-
tinues to shine. | do not believe a
solution in this spirit is going to sat
isfy the public"
So far as physical operations are
concerned, said the director general,
there is now no emergency which calls
on the government TO continue control
of the railroads.
Mr. Hines presented the following
arguments for five-year extension:
It will give advocates of government
ownership full opportunity to press
their views.
1t will remove the necessity for I'M
due haste in solving such a big prob
gram MS the future of the railroads.
II will stabilize employment and
wage conditions. permit prosecution OF
n big program OF improvements and
extensions, help TO take up the slack
IN employment and materials during
the critical period of readmstment.

AUSTRALIA WANTS FULL
WAR DEBT PREPARATION

MELBOURNE, Australia, July H.
IF the bill for the war losses does
not include the war debt resting on
US, Australia viii be grievously dis
appointed" declared Acting Prime
Minister Watt, in a statement in COM
ment on the peace treaty. This is
taken as Indicating the position of
the commonwealth on the distribution
Of the reparation exacted from the
central empires. It is understood here
that Of the first installment Of $5.000.-
100000 Australia is to receive $780,
900, 900 as her share. although the
commonwealth has been left in doubt
as to how she will fare on the entire
question of indemnity.
Speaking Of the treaty as q whole,
Mr.. Watt said:
"The impression gained by a first
perusal Is that it is drastic, but when
ones memory goes back over the last
four and a half years the view that
the victors have been generous to the
barbaric foe gathers strength. The
league Of nations is the most gigantic
experiment ever attempted by hui
manity.'
