WITH SILENCE

mer President Indicates Par
tvs Return to Power.

Woodrow Wilson returned to pri.
vate life, after eight years in the
White House. one year ago today.
For twelve months he has lived
quietly, almost isolated. here in
Washington When 1t was.announced
that he had bought a house here to
be occupied after leaving the Presi
dency there was general criticism. II
was declared that he would prove an
embarrassing problem" not alone
for the incoming Administration OF
Mr.. Harding. but for political lead
ers generally.
When this criticism was conveyed
to the then President, he is under
stood to have said:
81 will welcome the opportunity
TO live here in the Capital and Ia
demonstrate how an ex-Presiden,
should behave"
Urged by political friends and by
newspaper correspondents to express
himself regarding the great prob
lens OF the hour he has steadfastly
declined to do so.
Privately he has talked freely with
his intlmates, members Of the Sen
ate, members OF his former Cabinet
but at all times he has refused 10
allow his views to be broad-casted,
taking the position that he intended
TO keep free from all political con.
trovery.
Mum On Peace Treaty.
II was known that to various Sen
ators of his own political faith who
asked his opinion regarding the
Knox resolution creating a separate
peace with the central powers, he
characterized the legislation as "a
disgraceful procedure and one which
proclaimed desertion OF the allies
who fought with America in win
ming the war" But this view was
not made public with the consent OF
the former President.
Fabulous offers 10 write his views
OF the situation created by the fail
ure of the Senate to ratify the treaty
OF Versailles were coldly turned
down. Efforts to have him prepare
articles for publication dealing with
his eight years in the White House
met tne Same Idl".
The former President is very much
improved in health. AT the time, he
left the White House he was suffer
ing intensely. He has suffered two
reiapses since leaving the White
House. But most OF his time IN the
past twelve months have been de
voted to rebuilding his strength.
Today he is constantly improving.
He finds complete rest in his home.
Occasionally he goes to his law
office. Every day he takes long
automobile ride accompanied by Mrs.
Wilson. Were II necessary he could
take up a regular routine OF work,
those closest TO him say, but he
has apparently determined that this
can wait until his health Is fully
restored.

RAIL EARNINGS
ARE TOO Low
FOR RATE CUTS
So Says Former Director Gen.
eral Hines at Hearing Be-
fore Interstate Com
merce Commission.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-waIker
ID. Hinos. former director general OF
the railroad administration called
Is a representative OF the public
by the interstate commits
sion in its ate investigation testified
that In his opinion railroad earnings
were toe low to allow general reduc-
don of freight charges and that b<si-
ness activity would not be stimulated
by such a step II taken. Mr.. Hines
estimated that ~in the public interest.
II probably is necessary for the rail
roads to spend on betterments and
facilities. at least a billion dollars n
year for some time to come
Looking over the statistics Of rail
roai earnings during 1891" Mr.. Hines
said. I'VE ar take II for granted that
general rate reductions are not called
Nor on the ground that earnings are
too high"
Considering the effects Of the pos
sibie general reduction we must con.
tciude first II would further deplete
the financial reserves of the railroad
companies which are already weaken
ed. unless II stimulated business SUI
flciently to produce traffic which
would mako UP the loss. Second, we
must conclude that II would reduce
the purchasing power of the railroads
Themselves which is an important fac
tor in the fabric of commercial organ
alton. l doubt that n reduction would
stimulate business. Depression is du
to tho absence of demand for com
modities which demand cannot be Gre
ated by slight price reductions which
rate reductions would allow. It would
DO doubtful whether the effect OF the
reduction would ever reach those sec
lions of h community which need
support because h benefit would be
m~onopolized by those classes which
arc most highly organized"
Transportation service costs are
not the real cause of the trouble now.
A fap greater burden on consumption
and production today is tha placed by
the existing system of distribution"
On cross examination. Mr.. Hines
when asked for his opinion as to how
the commission should proceed In con-
sldering specific reductions. replied
that great caution" should mark all
approaches TO tho subject.

secretary-general a record of h at
utude adopted throughout the Far
Eastern committee deliberations in re-
gard to Chinese questions. He ex
pressed the belief that the settlement
would remove all possibility OF mis-
understanding between China and
Japan.
Speaking for the British. Arthur ].
Balfour declared there was no n in
the conference who did not rejoice
at the happy settlement" Of the
Shantung question. The result. he
said. was particularly gratifying TO
Great Britain, because of her inter.
ests in the Far East.

thank you. Mr.. Chairman. and you.
Mr.. Balfour," for their good offices
which made possible the settlement OF
the Shantung questions.
Speaking for the British delegation
alone. he said. Mr.. Balfour pointed
out that the termination OF the Shan
tung dispute turns back to the SOW
ereignty of China a great province.
Then amidst an outburst of APP
plause. he announced that the Wei
Hal Wei lease held by Great Britain

proposed on November u. and that
Great Britain and Japan were situated
similarly. the latter with the excep-
ton OF the new battiesfap Mutsu. The
effect OF tho retention OF the Mutsu
Mr. Hughes continued. made necessary
the changes IN tho original American
rrogram by which two dreadnaughts
OF the West Virginia class are to be
completed and the .battleships North
Dakota ana Delaware then scrapped.
In the American proposals. Mr.,
Hughes. said. four principles had been
governing. They were: First, that all
capital ships now building and con
tempiated should be abandoned; Sec
ond. that there should be a further re
'uction Of naval armament by scrap
p ig older ships: Third, hal regart
hould be had to the existing nava.
strength Of the powers. and Fourth
hat capital ship tonnage should b,
used as a basis for determining propo
-itions of auxiliary craft
These four principles, Mr.. Hughes
said. had been applied In negotiating
the naval treaty and had governed II
agTr ements.
Secretary Hughes In closing sal,
that no moro necessary or significan
treaty probably had been negotiated.
OBVIOUSLY It means an enormous
saving of money" he said. ''and tn
