CARRIERS LIMITED

TT was admitted by Secretary Hughes
l in proposing his scheme for naval
limitations that it was impracticable to
consider the limiting of naval aircraft
because "they may readily be adapted
from special types of commercial air
craft" Never the less an effective
check on operations in the air over the
sea will be provided in the limitation OF
the tonnage of airplane carriers. BY
the Hughes plan the United States and
Great Britain would be limited to 80. OOO
tons each of airplane carriers, while
the limit for Japan would be 4o,Ooo
tons. 1t is a we'll known fact that
planes cannot operate far from shore
without mother ship to the deck OF
which the planes can descend, and if
such vessels are restricted the air
fleets themselves will be held within
bounds.

FORD'S ECONOMY

IN an interview in the New York
1 ''Times" Mr.. Henry Ford is quoted
as advancing for one solution of the
railroad problem the idea that the rail-
roads "throw away their stocks and
bonds.
It is difficult to imagine for what
purpose Mr.. Ford made such a sugges-
ton as this for he certainly did not
intend the proposition seriously nor
could he very we'll have expected the
public to take him seriously.
The stocks and bonds of railroads do
not belong to the railroads. They
belong to individuals who own them,
just as they own tangible personal
property, notes and mortgages given
by their neighbors, insurance policies
and liberty bonds. If it is proper for
a railroad to "throw away its stocks
and bonds'' why can not the govern
ment remove its great burden Of debt
by Throwing away the liberty bonds?
Some few months ago, according to
the newspapers, Mr.. Ford was owing
something like eighty million dollars to
bankers in New York. Those bankers
held obligations given by his company
obligations that occupied the same re-
lation to the Ford Motor Company that
the bonds of q railroad have toward
the railroad property. If Mr.. Ford
thinks it..a practicable method of settling
the obligation to "throw away the
bond" why did he not relieve himself
of the eighty million dollars of debts
by throwing the notes away?
Railroads were built with funds sup
piled by individuals who received shares
of stock as written evidence of the
amount of their shares in the property.
Most of the extensions and improve
ments have been made with funds raised
by the issuance of bonds which are
in the nature of mortgage to secure
the loan. These stocks and bonds were
exchanged for good hard money-the
hard earned savings of the people who
made the investment. What kind of a |
reputation, what kind of dishonor is it
Mr.. Ford proposes when he suggests |
that the railroads "throw away their |
stocks and bonds''?

Leaves Settlement of Contro-

To Labor Board.

Although President Harding is
watching closely the railroad situ-
alton and action taken by the rail-
road executives looking to wage re-
ductions. he is taking no official
action, II was stated at the White
House today.
The question Of the reduction of
wages is one which properly falls
within the province of the Railway
Labor Board, the President holds, it
Is understood, and there is little
likelihood OF any Executive action
unless the Railway Labor Board
brings the matter before the Chief
Executive.

President Harding 10 understood to
have indorsed the proposal of Sena-
tor Cummins for a Congressional in

While all officials here are keeping
in close touch with the railroad stu &.
alton, the railway labor board Is the
only federal agency which is ex-
pected to take official cognizance Of
the proposed wage reductions at this
time.
