In another part of this issue Of
the Chicago Journal Of Commerce,
there appears a statement by the
Illinois Central Railroad System
over the signature of President
Charles II. Markham, wherein the
official figures of the Interstate Com
merce Commission are given. They
show that there were fewer fatal
tiles on the railroads in 1920 than
there have been in any year I'm the
last twenty-five years. and that dur
Ing 1920 the railroads carried the
heaviest traffic in their history. It
is explained that the figures on the
number OF fatalities in the United
States for 1921 are not yet available,
but that on the Illinois Central Sys-
tenn in 1921 there was the smallest
number OF fatalities that have oc-
CURED in any year in twenty-four
years
I'VE believe the public will agree
with us that the handling of a heav-
Ter business with a smaller number
of fatalities is a barometer OF rail-
way efficiency" declares Mr.. Mark
ham.
Mr.. Markham is right. a good
way to study the railroads is TO take
one branch of the subject at a time.

Lloyd George s Speech
CFrom the New York Herald)

Lloyd Georges speech in the
House Of Commons Monday was
clever. extraordinarily clever in Vs
good sense its subtlety. its adroit-
ness. but wasn't one hundred per
cent. convincing. The fact that he
was sustained by so large vote in
the Commons doesn't necessarily
mean that his speech swept the
members from their moorlngs. IL
means rather that Lloyd George was
stronger before the speech, and has
been stronger right along, than those
opposed to him realized.
There was nothing IN his speech
and nothing in his position with re-
gard to the Genoa Conference, how
ever, that should have caused oppo-
sition. Lloyd George Is perfectly
sound In declaring that Russia's
huge armies must be demobilized as
an approach TO the restoration Of
healthy economic conditions in Eu-
rope Only as Russia reduces her
great armies will the other coun-
tries of Europe reduce their great
armies, he says.
This, too. is obviously true. But
will Russia make any considerable
cut In her armed forces unless a
corresponding cut is made in the
armed forces OF all Europe? And
what hope is there that France viii
reduce her armed forces? In point
Of fact, the French Chamber OF
Deputies virtually instructed Pre-
mier Poincare on Monday to with
draw from the Genoa Conference Il

toward reduction OF military
forces OF France or any change in

ernment has been that it must have

Unjust Criticism Of Pennsy

from all imputation Of dishonest

such a rebuke from the chief regu-
latory body Of the country cannot
be taken lightly by the Pennsylvania

founded or not.

The immediate problem is to set

will have to be brought about by

nor the formation of an interstate
coal commission can help solve the
problem of the strike. Both refer
to some form OF machinery which
may have to be established to pre-
vent abuses by miners or operators
in the future. They have nothing to
do with the present settlement.
