Government Should Keep
Control For at Least
That Period
NO orHrR WAY FAIR

Are Dead Set Against the
NO oTHElK WAY FAIR

Santa Barbara, Cal, Jan. 27-W.
IG. McAdoo, former Director-G General
of aRilroads and former Secretary of
the Treasury, made public today
telegram in which he urged fve-year
government control of the railroads
as a necessity for the development
of inland waterways and for the CO.
ordination of the railroads and wat
erways with the new American mer-
chant marine.
The telegram, addressed to Albert
Krell, chairman of the Miami and
Erie Improvement Committee of the
Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce was
sent in response to an invitation to
attend an inland waterways meeting
today at Defiance, Ohio.
The message said:
"Regret it. is impossible for men to
attend your inland waterways meet
ing at Defiance, Jan. 27.
"It seems to me futile to expend
great sums of money on the devel-
opment of our inland waterways un-
less our government adopts an intel
ligent policy about railroad control.
The future of waterways develop
ment is absolutely dependent upon
government control which will en-
force the operation of the waterways
and the railroads and co-ordinated
and articulated system which will
give the people the benefits of an eff
cient combination of water and rail
facilities. This cannot be accom-
plished under the present railroad
law, which provides that the railroads
cannot be controlled by the govern
ment for a longer period than 81
months after the return of peace.
Within a twenty-one months period
no substantial development can be
made nor can their operation in so
brief period afford any, adequate
test of their values.
"Upon the return of the railroads
to private ownership, which must be.
made within the 21-months period, as
the present law provides, the cut
throat competition of the railroads
under private control with the parti-
ally developed waterways will .ef-
fectively destroy water transportation
as heretofore and the peoples invest
ment in these facilities will continue
to be of little, if any value.
"L have urged the CONGRESS to ex-
tendl the period of federal control of
the railroads for five years because
that will give us time to develop some
of the most important existing water

LOCAL PASTOR DOES
NOT APPROVE STAND
AGAINST RED FLAG
Believes Newspaper Antago1isr7
Will Drive Socialists to
Bolsheviki

If we were to take the attitude of
the press as forming our opinions
what intellectual gymnastics we
would have to perform! Before the
signing of the armistice, Karl Liebk-
necht was hailed by the press as "The
bravest man in Germany" because he
went to Jail protesting against the
acts of his country. Walls of wrath
and scorr were poured out upon
Schiedemann, David, Ebert, and the
rest of the majority Socialists leaders
calling them bootlickers of Prussian
Imperialism and militarism; but now
the press finds Ebert and his party
sane statesmen, and quotes with eyi-
dent satisfaction the impious state
n1ent Of a paper opposed to the Spar
ticide party saying the murder of
their former hero Liebknecht and the
defenseless Rosa Luxembourg "an act
of Divine Providence"
Of course the papers echo the fear
many of US have of Bolshevism. But
the method of opposing it seems to
me to be incredibly stupid. Bolshe-
vism is too huge a phenomenon and
too fraught with danger to be laugh
ed out of court. Some of the absurd
stories purporting to explain the eco
nomic theory of the Bolsheviki is an
insult not only to those who are train
ed in the study of social organization
but TO every intelligent reader, and
appear to give ground to the claim OF
the Socialists that the press wilfully
deceives the public in the interest OF
capital upon which it is dependant
for its prosperity through its adver-
tisnig.
The insulting attitude Of the press
toward American Socialists and Its
misrepresentations of their peculiar
doctrines goads them into fury ano
wins them sympathizers among IN
tellectuals who have no politica
party but are students of society.
do not think that there is large dan
ger of Bolshevism in our country, bu1
| do think that we are inviting disas
! ter in this continual batting of the
socialists. Nothing stirs up the radl
Gals of this country like heckling by
the press, and impolitic laws passee
by short-sighted local officials forbid
ing the peaceful assembly of social
lists, and forbiding the display of the
red flag, the emblem of the Socialls'
party, while allowing the display o.
the white elephant and the jackass o.
the two larger parties.
Injustice and intolerance displayed

Winter Season Hampers our Troops
In Strange Country Far From

Archangcl, Sunday, Jan. 26 (By the
Associated Press)-The Bolsheviki
are now on the offensive with infan-
try or artillery, or both, against four
Of the seven thin columns OF the al
lies and Russians which have pene-
trated southwark through the frozen
forest swamps of the province Of
Archangel
Last night the enemy entered Shen-
kursk while the tired column of Am
erican, Russian and British which
had evacuated the place, marked in a
detour over the. deep snow on the
road evading force of several hun
dred of the enemy, who waited on the
main high road to trap the column
in its retreat.
In good spirits, despite long march
es in the cold and 10 days of hard
fighting, the Americans and the 9th
er troops Of the allied forces were
today at Shegavari, approximately 80
miles north of Shenkrusk on the Va
ga river. The enemy apparently is
sending patrols to follow the retreat
ing troops, but up to this morning
no new attacks had been made on
this sector.
+, Saturday the Bolsheviki attacked
the allied positions at Taresevo, a
village some 40 miles east of Shen-
kursk in the sector between the Vaga
river and the Volgoda railroad.

Paris-Further light on the Bolshe-
vik attitude toward the invitation of
the allied and associated powers for
the conference with Russian factions
at Princes Island is given by an ar
ticle in the Bolshevik official news
paper "Isvestia'' by the correspondent
of LIE Journal. The article lays stress
on the indirect character of the invi-
tation, noting that it bore neither ad-
dress nor signature. The writer de-
clares the allies must choose between
role of adversaries or arbitrators of
New Russia. To act as arbitrators
the allies must be completely prepar-
ed to evacuate Russia, he declares.

(From the Hardware Age)

I will not drink from a German cup,
Or eat from German plate
will not deal with German man,
All foul with German hate
I'll use no drug with German name,
That's grown on German land.
I'll eat no food and drink no beer
IF made by a German hand
will not use German tool,
Razor, or knife, or saw.
will not trade with German shop
That lives by the German law.
will not sail on German Ship
Where the German songs are sung.
will not breathe where Gods clean air
Is soiled by German tongue.
will not forget those awful deeds, /
To Sirls and little boys.
. No more I'll hang on Christmas trees
Those blood-stained German toys.
y will not take Germans word,
He'll break it if he can
There is no love in German heart,
Or faith in a German man.
This is my oath when war is done,
I'll swear to keep it true
And since know you feel the same,
I'll pass it on to you.

small powers gave full adhesion to
the organization formulated by the
five great powers, thus securing a
united front Of the great and small
powers at the outset of the work on
the main subjects before the mem

This is largely due to the skilful
direction CT Jules Camoon, French

Washington, who was designed by
the council of the great powers to
preside over the meeting of the small
powers held this afternoon. This
meeting was held at the foreign of

For a time there was some appre-
hension of the sequel to the different
viewpoints expressed at Saturdays
conference, but today's meeting of
the small powers was without Incl
dent OF renewal of the claims then
set up for increased representation
on the various committees. Belgium,
Serbia, Roumanis and all the other
small powers had their full delega-
tions at the afternoon meeting.
