The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1920-03-05

Many years ago there lived near
Lexington, Henderson County, Ten
nessee, farmer named Bill Mullins,
who besides possessing many acres
of land was federal pensioner. 1t
was during the incumbency of H.Clay
Evans as commissioner of pensions
and there had been some hitch in the
Mullins pension. Mr.. Mullins was in
town one day, and having the pension
matter on his mind, said: "Well, I'll
tell you. The policy of H. Clay Ev-
ans in the pension office may posi-
bly, be good on the Government, but
it's hell on individuals" In connection
with Mr.. Mullins can recall that he
had on his place, and had the misfor-
tune to kill by accident, a gander
known to be 55 years old. Mr.. Null
Inns was feeding his hogs and knock
ed old tickle" in the head with an
ear of corn.

Dawson Asserts
Europe's Plight
Is National Peril
Red Cross Leader Outlines
Essential Reasons Why
Congress Should Appro-
pirate Funds for Relief

Henry +. Dawson, chairman Of the
board of governors of the League Of
Red Cross Societies, issued statement
yesterday regarding conditions in Eu-
rope and their effect upon the Amer
lcan nation, amplifying HIS address
Monday before the general conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mr.. Dawson gives five essential points
concerning the European situation, and
insists that government loan Of at
least $500, 100000 is needed, not merely
as relief measure, but also to protect
the American people.
In response to numerous inquiries
concerning my recommendations for
relief in Central and Eastern Europe"
the statement says, "it seems impor-
tant, if possible to make still more
clear the essential points involved.
'Flrst-We are dealing with a sit
uation which | believe constitutes q
national menace. During nineteen
months Of war we lost from casualties
approximately $4,000 men. During the
last three months Of 1913 and the first
three months Of 1919 we lost approx
lmately 100000 lives from influenza.
Involves Our National Honor
Second We are dealing with a sit
uation which | believe involves our
national honor. This, to my mind, how
ever bears no relation whatever to the
question of the treaty, Of the league
OF nations or to party politics.
"Third-As chairman of the board
Of governors of the League of Red
Cross Societies became possessed of
information which it is my duty to
pass on to the American people.
spoke not rs an officer of the Red Cross
Society but as an American citizen.
"Fourth-In my opinion the situa-
tion in central and eastern Europe can
not be dealt with by any voluntary or
group of voluntary agencies Eco
nomic and sanitary conditions can only
be restored in those countries by gov
crnment action. Only following such

business services are needed as efficient
ana adequate transportation, a nation
al budget system, sound taxation. a
foreign trade policy, practical shipping
laws, protection for American invest
ments abroad and wise financial lead
ership: These are only few of the
essential planks in any business plat
form"
Mr.. Sisson declared that there was
no immediate prospect of violent re-
adjustment of production and drastic
drop in prices.
But there is opportunity for grad
ual adjustments" he said "The
credit structure is sufficiently elastic
to make possible an ORDERLY reduction
in prices if the means at our disposal
are rightly used"
Factors wnicn stand in the way Of
lower prices, according to Mr.. Sisson,
are world shortage of necessares, gov
ernment extravaganza, excessive taxa
ton, serious lack of railroad equip
ment, interfering seriously with the
tsrnsportat'on of commodities. and un-
favorable crop prospects. To these
Mr.. Sisson added the factor of the

Congressional Action Needed

Immediately, not on the grounds Of
charity or Of altruism, but on sound
business lines, and that they should
make loan Of $50O,O00,0OO, which, in
my belief, would be perfectly good; this
loan to be made in the interests Of
peace, for the protection of the Amer
lean people, and in the interests Of our
commerce and trade.

of our complicated financial situation
and of our many immediate and seri-
Gus problems. | am making it believ-
ing we cannot be rid of serious prob
lens until there is peace, and that there
can be no peace so long as economic
and sanitary conditions exist as they
are in such large area Of the world.

The members Of the Wldrush's crew
who went down with the bark were

johnson, ships carpenter; James Rice,
second mate, and Gustave Reason, sea

Private Operation of the

Lines ON Trial, He Says
Failure Will Result in
Government Ownership;
Sees End of All Strikes

Private ownership of railroads is now
on trial in the United States and its
failure would result, inevitably, in the
government taking over the lines,
Daniel willard president of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad, told the National
Manufacturers Association at its din
ner last night in the Waldorf Astoria
The dinner concluded the three days.
convention.
Mr.. Willard was confident that the
railroads will emerge with credit from
the present situation.
If the new railroad law is applied as
Congress intended it and if the rail
way managers so operate the proper
ties as to fairly meet the requirements
and expectations of the public, Mr.
Willard said, 1--WE may reasonably ex-
pect that private ownership and opera
tion of the railroads as an economic
policy will continue in this country"
He repeated his recommendations
made to the Council of National De-
fense in 1917. that "a nation should
have a national transportation system,
and such a system should embrace and
make proper use Of all available and
suitable agencies" He added that this
recommendation, which he made as a
) war measure, is equally pertinent and
important in time of peace
Mr.. Willard described the difficult
ties of the railroads in obtaining funds
necessary for improvements, extension
and equipment, which, he said, had
been estimated at from S500,O0O 900 to
81 100000 900 year.
Congress, by enacting the Esch-C Cum
MINIS bills, he declared, had corrected
1.-THE poorly contrived system of regula-
tion which brought about sickly con-
dition Of the railroads." But, he added.
"the patient IS still weak and unable
to stand alone"
Mr.. Willard said he was in favor of
the government naming the rate OF re-
turn which the railroads shall be per-
mitted to earn, but ne declared that
''the railroads must be self-supportine
before they can be expected to show
signs of renewed vigor."
He predicted that strikes upon the
as time went on, since, in his opinion,
Congress has provided definite and
workable arrangement that should OBJ
tain justice for the workmen.
Francis H. Sisson, vice-president Of
the Guaranty Trust Company, in ad-
dressing the convention in the after
noon blamed the recent strikes for
che high cost of living and increased
rents. He declared that this nation
was squandering its natural resources
while other countries were stocking up
for the future at the expense of the
United States. There is great need at
