program is to give it precedence
over legislation that might con-
ceivably be in the general public
interest. The whole power of gov
eminent is to be eXerted to get the
railroads half billion dollars,
which in turn is to go to bankers,
gamblers and spectators, to divi-
dends and to other purposes that
are helpful only to very special
and exceedingly small groups.
The public may as we'll reconcile
itself to the situation, for there is
no help for it. 1t should be pre-
pared for this and many similar
transactions. To say that the in
terests of the whole public are
getting the least attention at Wash
ington would be gross exaggera-
ton. Normally means a return to
the good old days when special and
crooked interests got exactly what
they demanded, without question,
without delay and without any re-
gard for what the public may
think about it. The public may be
damned for all Congress cares or
the administration or anybody else
here in authority cares.
Delays the Final Settlement
The only consideration that the
average man gets out of the affair
is that the railroad problem is not
settled-not by long shot. These
five hundred millions will go as
have gone other thousands of mil
lions that have been diverted from
the public treasury into the cof-
fers of the bankers. 1t will per-
nit the railroads to resume for a
time the riotous, wasteful and Grim
inal methods that were in order
during the period of government
guaranty, but the sum, large as it
is, won't go far in meeting the de-
mands of the greedy interests that
are smacking their lips in pros
pect of enriching themselves at the
cost of the people.
The railroads will never repay
their loans, and it never was in
tended that they should. The game
is to get as much as they can,
keep all they get, and delay the
final and logical solution of this
whole question-government owner
ship-as long as possible.
How any sane man can support
and defend private management in
the light of recent developments,
is incomprehensible. Surely, the eff
feet of propaganda must soon wear
off, and then the American people
will awaken with the cracking head
and the dark brown taste of the
day after. And they will be in a
pesky, cantankerous mood, that
will no longer tolerate the things
that are now being done by poll
ticians wholly unconscious that
there must inevitably be day of
reckoning.

MIR. iIARDING'S
HYPOCRISY
Worst Feature of Administra-
TONS Railroad Program.
(By Charles M. Kelley

The most Objectionable feature
of the administration program
for the railroads is its hypocrisy
1t attempts to make the people be-
lieve that it is one thing, while il
is another and very different
proposition.
From the beginning a deliberate
attempt is being made to keep
from the public the facts concern
ing the Presidents plan for the
relief of the railroads. 1t happens
to be the Presidents plan simply
because he has officially fathered
it. AS a matter of fact. it is nc
more his plan than it is the plan
of a million others. 1t was for
mulated in Wall street, it was put
before the people in propaganda
that must have cost the roads a
pretty penny, and it was sprung at
what was deemed to be the proper
moment. But it was not received
with open arms. 1t fell as flat as
the proverbial pancake, and it can
be put through Congress only I'M
der the whip and spur of the adj
ministration.
When Mr.. Harding declared in
his message to Congress that he
was presenting a scheme by which
the railroads could secure $780,
100000 with no "added expense
no added liability, no added tax
burden" to the government, he in
dulged in an amazing misstatement
of fact.
Railroads Owe Government
The facts point to Just the OPP.
pos,te conclusion. The railroads
owe the government more than a
billion dollars on account of capt
tai expenditures made by the gov
eminent for the benefit of the rail
roads during the period of the war
The railroads have put up Sc
curity to insure the repayment OF
about $30O,000,000 of this sum
That leaves the roads owning the
government $700,000,000 which is
not secured.
1t is proposed that the railroads
shall deposit with the federal rail
road administration securities t.
nrotect this indebtedness. The
President advises Congress to au
thorize the War Finance Corpora
ton to purchase $500,000,OOO OF
these securities from the railroad
administration. This would enable
| the railroad administration to pay
| that sum for the railroads in set
Element of what the government
owes the roads because of so-calleC
"undeF maint dnance" during the
war.
The war finance corporation is
part of the government. To secure
money with which to purchase rail
road securities it must dispose
| of its own securities.
That increases the national debt
The President cannot make it APP
pear otherwise. When he declared
that there would be no "additiona
| liability" he spoke without knowl
edge of the facts or he deliberately
| misstated them. Everybody is FREE
to draw his own conclusions.
| Huge Fraud Upon the Public
The government is going int
this deal with full appreciation o
| its fraud upon the public. 1t dar
not meet the issue fairly anC
/ suuarely. 1t camouflages, it side
steps. it dissembles. it lies. 1t
perhaps the most shameful eXhlbl
ton of hypocrisy that has bee
witnessed in many a year.

ests that rule it, have the powe

STANDING FIRM.

The United States has gained some of its lost
handling the preliminares for the disarmament con-
ference suggested by President Harding. Some of the
credit is undoubtedly due to the president, but more
should probably be given to that dynamo OF official
Observation-Disclosures e. Hughes.
AS secretary of state, Mr. Hughes has had much
to do with the negotiations for the parley. When
Japan decided that it would play but bring its own
dice, that it would talk disarmament while leaving
the questions of Far Eastern policy in the air. the
American government firmly voiced its dlsapproval.
Japan protested baked, slde-stepped. but Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Harding unmoyed. Finally
Japan decided to enter the conference America S
terms.
Then came the question of date. This govern
ment favored November II. Japan didn't. She has
no for opposing the date, except that it was
of Americas picking.
First England decided that November IL would
do. Then France and Italy decided that they would
come in Japan alone remained out, but Washington
stood pat"
The press dispatches of yesterday carried the
word that Japan would agree to the date Of Novem-
Der II.
AS result, America will enter the disarmament
conference with a vast amount of regained prestige.
She has called the parey She will select the topics
She has picked the date Naturally the position of this
country as a world leader will not be seriously ques
toned in the immediate future-at least not long

TOURISTS WHO ADVERTISE.

There is frequently a complaint that too much at
tenton is paid to the casual tourist going through
Albuquerque Some say that we spend too much
money roads, others that the chamber of COM
wastes its time entertaining people who will
never benefit the town--outside Of a few dollars
to hotel keepers and few dimes to gasoline filling
stations.
A few days ago. Arthur Brisbane sent all over
America a comn of unstnted praise of New Mexico.
1t was worth at least $4,000. Advertising space to
do the amount of work could not have been
purchased at that price.
Mary Roberts Rinehart passed through the city
and said, in article read by millions, that Albu-
querque was Chilly" in summer time. That bit of
testimony from a trained observer was forth many
thousands in advertising value.

THE HARDY SONS OF ADVENTURE.

At time when SO much of the world seems at
cross-purposes 1t is soothing to hear one explorer
after another pop into the news with his detached
plans to probe yet nearly this narrowing world
of ours.
Amundsen recently has been rescued ana brought
back to civilization; Macmillan has his plans;
Shackleton is all set for the Enderby Quadrant;
these few Of the more conspicuous.
To the stay-at-home with all lands brought to
his feet through the illustrated magazines and the
activity of newspapers there does not seem to be
much left to look for In those vague areas known
as the polar regions. Not so with the Amundsens,
MacMillians and Shackletons They themselves pur-
sue their course because they driven by their
imagination; they are permitted to do and sup

AN OMNIBUS PROPOSAL.

The persistence of the report in London that there
is to be international conference preliminary to
the which President Harding has called for No
vember IL at Washington is applicable only on one
ground: that it is officially inspired.
The British government has made its informal
proposal for such gathering and has been told in
pretty plain terms that the United States in
Favor of it, Nevertheless the latest word from Lon
don indicates that the British have not abandoned
the idea. The original excuse for preliminary meet
ing was that it would afford opportunity to the pre-
mier of the British dominions. now in session at
London, to participate before leaving for their
homes.
But there is not reason why they should not now
confer with the leaders of the home government and
those who will represent 1t and them at the Wash
ington conference and freely express their views
the subjects Of reduced ornaments and the Far
Eastern questions which are the agenda agreed
upon This is entirely British family matter. With
the consultations that take place among representa-
tves Of the units of the British empire we have moth
ing to do. The various dominions not invited as
such to President Harding's Washington conference.
II is assumed that the representatives Of tho British
empire will speak for them.
But the kind of a conference that London wants
would SAVIOR too much Of the old-style discredited
diplomacy that frequently has got the world into
trouble 1t would be the place for fixing up secret
preliminary agreements and understandings, for ar
ranging the lineup for trades and dickers President
Hardng's statement of the subjects to be discussed
at Washington has been made in entire good faith.
There is room for misunderstanding. So far as
America is concerned the proceedings will be wholly
open and above board and she demands the same
sincerity from the others
If they are in earnest in desiring practical plan
for reducing ornaments and for removing causes Of
in the Far East, they will put obstacles in the
way of the Washington meeting, but prepare to join
whole heartedly in the proceedings.

However the thought suggests itself that the idea
