Must Fix Capital.

VIVA had we better try to do? I
think you can't run these railroads
unless their credit Is good. Why and
how are we to make their credit good?
We can restore credit by fixing their
capital, and when we have fixed It
give capital a fair return for its money.
What do we get by fixing capital?
You will remove all the friction and
turmoil that has been going on in these
railroads for years.
II don't want government ownership
Of railroads, | want private owners to
run them and operate them in the in
terest OF the public: but l want to
stop this endless fighting by saying
no more capital shall 60 into railroads
without government consent. Therefore,
the issuance of railroad securities should
be regulated.
"You know we adopted the Sherman
antitrust law, and in the main think
it is correct. We must protect the
public from monopoly, but I've come
to the conclusion the Sherman anti.
trust law, DIS regards the railroads, does
not function properly. We wan to reg
ulate these railroads by giving the in
terstate commerce commission or some
other regulating body complete powers
Of regulation. This body ought to have
the power to regulate the intake and
to regulate the outgo."
In view OF the fact that the Repub-
lican majority in the next senate Is
two, and that a change of n vote
| produces a tie, with Vice President
Marshall to cast the deciding vote, 1t
is not unlikely that the railroad prob
lem win be handled as a nonpartisan
question, In which event opinions from
such men as Senator Underwood will
be influential in shaping legislation.
Mr., Underwood himself believes the
peace treaty will be ratified a short
| DIVA affair ~ In unh1aittAd ard that
the railroad problem will be tackled
Immediately thereafter, So far as SEN
timent in this part OF the country Is
concerned. an early ratification OF the
peace treaty is favored. The proposal
that the United States shall agree con-
jointly with Great Britain to~come to
the aid OF France In case of an ''un-
provoked attack" by Germany, is ap-
proved for two reasons:
First, because people here under
stand 1t Is the purpose Of the league
Of nations to prevent "~unprovoked at
tacks' on any country, and that, y
there Is any one nation TO whose aid
the folAs in this country would rather
come when in distress than any other
il Is France.
Second, becarse the United States
has just aided France, upon whom
Germany made such Al attack, and n
the United States was right in 1911
she can not consistently do otherwise
in the future.
But briefly, after reading the severe
terms Of the peace treaty, especially
the provisions rendering Germany i'm
potent from a military n naval point
Of view. most people heres bouts have
the feeling that to sign a defense agree
ment with France against an unpro-
voked attack by Germany is like under.
writing an ~ineurahce policy that will
never have to be paid.
