 DEFICIT DURING

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

Republican A. P. Leased WWel
 WASHINGTON. Feb. At 12:sI Monday the government will hand over to their owners 240.000 miles of main line railroad and terminals and equipment, valued at approximately | O,000, ,000, 900, over which it's direct authority has been exten- -ed since December 2S, 1917.
 The properties will go back, leaving the government with a deficit of $715. 300, 900 for it's 26 months of oper- ation. But, while the deficit appeared large. federal operation has cost the public considerably less under the conditions, through rates sand taxes than would have been the case under private control" Director General Hines declared in a statement of gov ernment management.
 Mir Hines believed that the nation and railroads as well gained benefits of lasting character from the period of unified operation.
 Effects of U. s. Control
 Tt made practicable a war trans portation service which could not otherwise have ben obtained" he said. Its unification practices have in creased the utilization of the made quate supply of equipment so that exceptionally large transportation ser vice has been performed in the busy periods of 1919 with a minimum of congestion; it met the unprecedented coal strike in a way which private control could not have done. and ab- sorbed a heavy financial loss on that account which would have proved highly disturbing to private control; it provided more additions and better ments and equipment than private control could have provided during the difficult financial situation of the war: it dealt fairly with labor and axNa benefit Of iff1nTnWnd ditfons which were clearly it's right, it not only did not cost more than private control would have cost during the same period, but cost considerably less on account of the ecenon|~- growing out of unifications, and tho total burden on the public - through rates and taxes-on account of railroad costs was substantially less than would have been necessary if the rail- roads had remained in private control and rates had been raised enough to preserve credit; it protected the in- vestment in railroad properties. whereas without federal control those investments would have been endan- gered: and it turns back the roads to private control with a record of eX .ceptional performance in an excep- tionalIy difficult winter, despite the disruption caused by the coal strike. and in d condition to function still more effectively with normal improve ment to be expected in weather and other conditions"
 Psychological Asset
 The railroad corporations will start their work with an important phycho- logical asset, MT. Hines said, pointing out that the public holds to rigid re- sponsibility any agency performing a public service without regard for the

Lenine in a Position to Demand
Whether 1t Is To Be
Peace or War

German recovery must be at the ex-
pense Of Britain.
The fact is, then, fairly obvious
that the British have to face in the
future two grave perils. The failure
of the Allied policy as to Russia, or
rather, the incoherence and absence
of policy, has resulted in the extinc-
ton of British hopes that Russia
would be broken up into several
states and thus turned aside from
Asiatic ambitions. On the contrary,
Russia is very rapidly achieving unity
again, and as she grows stronger
her people more and more tend to
drift away from the extremes of
Bolshevist insanity and toward ma
tionalistic ideas.
But the new Russia will have both
a strong hatred for the British, who
have been the champions of Russian
weakness, and a renewed desire to
follow old pathways, to regain lost
provinces and to seek anew an exit
on warm water at the Darda-
nelles and an approach to India
through Herat and Kabul. They
will find ready at their hands as
allies and as serviccable war mate
rial millions Of Moslems dwelling
along the Russian pathways leading
both to India and to Egypt And
last Of all, they will perceive in these
several British colonies elements of
disorder and unrest, Of open dis
loyalty, which will add new vitality
to their hopes of successful inva-
sion.
The first perception of this grow
ing peril came only a few weeks ago,
when the British, French and Amer
lean newspapers were filled with dis
cussions Of the threat to India, and
for a brief hour there was renewed
discussion of active military prep
aration, of the guaranteeing Of Pol
ish and Rumanian security by the
promise of material and munitions
for the Rumanian and Polish armies.
This was a swing Of the pendulum
toward war with Russia.
But Lloyd George, with keen eye
to the domestic political situation in
Britain, an acute appreciation of the
growing strength of labor, rushed
over to Paris and swung the pendu-
lum violently in the other direction.
The result was the proposal for
trade relations without political rec
New-York tribune., 1920-02-01
Menace To alle British

But such ar association, any as
sociation between Germany and Rus
sia, infallibly menaces the British,
menaces the British even more than
the French, because, while the
French might have to forego any re-
sistance to such combination, make
terms and enter a Continental group
as did the several European powers
in the Napoleonic period, there are
no terms for the British, either from
the Germans or from the Russians.
Even in Paris the few Russians
actually there talked with perfect
frankness as to the future. They
asserted that their ruin was due in
large measure to the British, that
the British desired to prevent Rus
sia from becoming once more
strong nation, that the British de
sired to perpetuate a condition OF
anarchy and were even willing to
90 to Prinkipo with the Bolshevists
in the hope that by encouraging Boil
shevism they would ruin Russia as
a great power In Paris, Russians
were far more bitter toward Britain
than toward Germany.
AS for the Germans, the outcome
of the war. the terms of peace, have
convinced them that British com
mercia jealousy provoked the war,
that Britain attacked Germany in
order to destroy a dangerous rival.
This is nonsense in one respect, bat
it is nonsense which is accepted and
win be accepted because the outcome
Of the war WIS to destroy Germany
as commercial rival OF the British
and the terms Of peace are enduring
evidence of this fact. Moreover,

Why We Must Save

Not at all. 1t is only by saving
that We have any accumulations Of
capital. Roaring prosperity and un-
dreamed Of production would wear
out the national wealth machine if
unaccompanied by saving, for we
would have no surplus with which to
meet depreciation and make add
tions to the instrumentalities Of pro-
duction. Saving is especially desira-
bic at this moment, in order that We
may stop initiation and promote de-
fation. We need to save for capital
account instead Of getting it by
loans payable in deprecated money
that becomes more deprecated with
each avoidable loan. In fact, in
