Yesterday a consumptlve was brought
ashore from the Mendoza, no longer able

phia Saturday Scandinavian, steward
of the Mendoza, was operated on for
appendicitis at local hospital. Others
have been dropped off by vessels gong

leave this jurisdiction, and that steamship
companies are penalized 81 900 for every
immigrant or other person who Is allowed

RAIL WAY PROBLEMS
General Reorganization Proposed
as Alternative to Ma
tionalization.

London. July l4.-The governments
railway program, intended as an alterna-
tive to naturalization of the roads, which
are now subsidized. provides for the for
nation of the railways OF England ana
Wales into six groups. the main groups
To absorb all the smaller lines. Present
shareholders are to form the majority OF
each board of management, but each
board also is toinclude members elected
from and by the workers on the railway.
Direct competition between groups is to
be eliminated.
The government financial guarantee
ceases and rates and fares are to be iixed,
with certain safeguards for the public,
so as to produce a net revenue substan-
TALLY equivalent on some pre-war basis
to the net revenue OF all companies alb
sorbed in the groups
The state is to take a share OF surplus
revenues and use it 'for light railway
development.
Wages and working conditions will be
dealt with by machinery set up under
the control Of the Transport Ministry.
The National Wages Board for appeals
is to represent equally railway managers
workers and users, with an independent
chairman The state will have power to
insist upon Standardization OF rolling
stock and equipment.
Aseventh group will control the Scottish
lines. The program issued by Sir Eric
Geddes, minister of transport as white
paper, will be submitted to Parliament IN
a new transport bill. In case the amaiga-
nation is not carried out voluntarily the
government will seek power to compel
amalgamation within a specified time
Sir Eric's proposals generally are re-
ceived with editorial disapprovai by the
newspapers. The Daily News SAYS the
proposals raise all the difficulties inherent
in naturalization without conterrlng any
Of its benefits"

PANIC TALK IS bOSH
SAYS COMP R0LLER
Reserve Banks Could Increase
Lending Power Twenty
Five Times.

Washington, July 31.--Comptroller OF
tho Currency John SHELTON Williams
yesterday raped the New York banks
for their exorbitant interest rates, and
likewise devoted some attention To the
panic talk that hns been going around,
and for which he says there is not the
slightest foundation. He produced the
figures TO show how needless Is the alarm.
After telling that the FEDERAL Reserve
Banks could If necessary, increase their
lending power to twenty-five times the
largest amount the national banks had
ever borrowed up to 1913, the comptroller
said:
with sane settlement Of present
labor troubles and the restoration oil me
old-time efficiency of labor, and the
stabilization which il is hoped the iorth-
coming rate decision OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission, together Win
more scientific administration ana less
stock juggling in railroad management,
will bring about the business outlook iot
this country will be extremely priRh' !,
Il will also add that there rs not, ana

World. for which, | am convinced, TINS

A CHANGING WORLD INDEED

Commenting on the plea " manufacturers
that they cannot sell below cost Of production,
ana their request that the federal reserve relax
ts credit restrictions Edmond Plat, vice gov
ernor Of the federal reserve bank, said.
Such Interests must got out of the habit
cf relying on government aid The war
taught the people 90 look tp the government
for everything When q man cannot pawn
his last winters oycrcoat FOR as much
ho thinks it ought to bring. he writes tho
federal reserve board To sty itg an outrage
that money Is so tight.
n is with difficulty that we restrain our de-
sire to give ihreo cheers and tiger for Mr..
Edmond Platt Here ia a new day indeed. when
rcsponsble agents are invoking the old doctrine
" individual responsibility for the deliberate
purpose Of getting away from psternalstc
practices lu government
n is not the concern ot government directly.
whether the manufacturer is compelled to dis
pose Of HIS product AZ less than cost. The en-
tire civilized world knows that when the mar
kot wac carocning upward at an intoxicating
rate he sold his products at a margin repre-
scnung immoral profits The problem at that
time was FOR uho consumer to solve. lie paid
and paid and paid price as far beyond good
business practice as the manufacturer may now
be required 10 sell below good business practice.
Tho point ls the manufacturer is now COM
PEELED to share some OF his improper profits
with the consumer from whom he took them.
He will either do that and get back on the
market or he will refuse and go broke That
Is a harsh statement but 1t IL true. \
Mr. Henry Ford to adopt the vernacular OF
IN" school ground laid the pattern. we shall
lose money at these prices" he said until
material now on hand has been consumed But
we fool Il necessary to stimulate buying"
That's the idea. The consuming public has
been footing the losses long enough. Let tho
manufacturing public come in and contribute
for season. We like immensly the position
taken by Mr. Edmond Plat.
