HINES EXPRESSES VIEWS

My own view is that a moderate guaranty on capital should be prescribed tby the government, so as to give a req sonable assurance to capital and there should be a right to a participation in any profits made in excess of that guar anty so as to furnish the needed stnl- ulus to private initiative
 ''I further believe that the government should be strongly represented on the boards of directors and that these gov crnment directors should constitute an important part of the regulating body which prescrbes the rates so that this regulating body will know as necessities develop that the necessities are devcl. oping and will be able to meet the needs of the situation much more nearly at the time the needs arise than is possible at present.
 q do not believe these Fundamental changes can be successfully carried through except by the construction of 2 ations, each of which will so combine ations. eac hof which will so combine the prosperous and unprosperous roads as to present fair average result and get away from the hopeless diversity in earnings. which has existed in the past; and upon each of which it will be prac- ticable to have ample government rep resentation.'
 Reviewing government operations of railroads during the war. MT. Hines said it was important that the public under stand the accomplishment of three great results First. conflict of priorities was eliminated and unification of control pre- vented serious congestion. Second. through government control railroad la Dor was given wage increases and i'm proved working conditions. Third. the government provided for adequate flnanc- ing of the roads which otherwise would have been almost impossible. None of these questions could have been dealt with properly except under government control. said MT Hines.

CONSIDER SINGLE TREATY
By A,soclared Press


 Paris, March 26.--The technical ex- perts of the. American peace delegation in consultation with experts of other delegations, have been considering a possible method for carrying out 3 project brought forward yesterday to include all four enemy powers in one peace treaty.
 The fact that the United States was never at war with Turkey and Bulgaria complicates the matter. but the opinion of the American experts is to the eff feet that this is not nsurmountable, and that it is feasible for the United States to sign such a quadruple treaty with an explanatory statement that the United States accepts only such portions of the treaty as directly affect it.
 Preparatory to the execution of the plan without delay in case it should be adopted the commissions on separations and boundaries are to reduce to form as quickly as possible all data they have collected bearing on the financial and economical ability of Turkey and Bull garia and of what remains of Austria Hungary to meet the charges they must pay as well as the new boundaries they must accept in order to recognize the right of e1f-determination.
 The problem is rendered difficult by reason of the necessity of assessing fair 1y the share of the pre-war debts of the three nations which must be assumed by the separated provinces and this is receiving careful study by experts.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME ID BE
 PARTLY CONTINUED
Administration to Carry Out as Much Improvement Work as Possible, Says
 Director General
BxgA lauelNfst PreLa


 Pittsburg, March Despite the man cial predicament of railroads, the rail- road administration plans to carry out as much of it's improvement programme as possible to keep labor employed and roads in repair. Walker D. Hines, direc- tor general of railroads, declared in all address tonight before the Pittsourg Traffic club. He asked for more ade- quate understanding on the part of the public of problems facing the railroads during the war and in the immediate future and presented suggestions for op- erating roads privately under public reg ulation as permanent solution of the problem. He einI hasized that the ability of the railroad administration to finance Itself in spite of the failure of it's ap- propriation does not mean that it will not need the appropriation as soon as Congress meets again.
 Referring to the improvement problem, Mir. Hines said:
 "JJnfortunately the impression has gone out that the railroad administratio has decided to cut off all improvement work, including additions and better fnents and maintenance. This is not a fact. What has happened is that we are taking steps to give the railroad cor porations full opportunity to determine whether they should assent to the worr which they must finance. It is the inten ton of the railroad administration tC carry forward just as much addition. and betterments and maintenance worl as possible in order that the railroads b' kept in good repair and extended to mee the needs of the situation
 Proposng eventual private operation with government supervision, MT. Hines said:
