 ''1 am told that Sim Fein wishes to win the respect of the world and in tends to show that. after all these years of demand for Self-goyernment, they are capable of carrying it out justly; that all the corner-boys and farmers sons who have fought for Sim Fein in the belief that victory will mean their acquiring their neigh bors' property (especially that of the loyaEsts in the south and west) fo, next to nothing will experience the surprise of their lives at the hands of a very heavy-fsted and efficient Sim Fein police.

IRELAND FACES STRUGGLE
 IN PROTECTING FACTIONS,
 SAYS EARL OF DENbICH

London, Feb. 22-The Earl of Den bigh, leader of the Catholic laity in England, sees a grim struggle ahead in Ireland and believes that this is not the time for thanksgiving for an ap- parent victory, but for fervent prayer for the future.
 In a roseate world of expressed hopes and voiced confidence that all is now over but the shouting. Lord edneSS.
 Sim Fein, in his views, has yet to make the lasting peace by it's meth ods of government and by the clear vision it displays in dealing with its own population and with the "asso- ciated'- mother nation, England.
 'we have now to consider the flu ture,'' he says. and let us, if We can. cease, if possible. to feed their pupils on "reminiscences of Queen Elizabeth and Oliver Cromwell. Let Catholics try to forget the cruel and bitter re- ties under which they suffered until comparatively recent times.
 Let Orangemen realize that there is little or no sympathy in England with their one political cry of ITO hell with the Popel' or with their ab- surd fears regarding religious perse- cution at the hands of a Dublin Par hament.
 Well, the possibility of making this settlement a success will entirely de- pend on thesIrish themselves First of all, is Impossible to get any free expression of public opinion in Ire land2 If 1t is not. dre they a people fit for self-governnent?

PRIVATE OPERATION OF
 RAILROADS 32 PER CENT
 HIGHER THAN IN WAR TIME
So Declares William c. McAdoo Director General Of Railroads During War, Before Senate In vestgating Committee.

Washington, Feb. 2-Taking into consideration every eNpenditure,S by shippers, travellers, or by Congress sional appropriation, the railroad system of the United States only cost the American public an average of $470, ,637, ,404 per month. for all the wartime period when the govern nent ran it, William G. McAdoo, first director general of the administra- ton, testified today before a Senate investigation committee. He said it was costing under. private control now an average of s525, ,412,135 per month.
 'In other words, the cost of pri- vate operation, since federal control. has been 32 per cent. higher than under the railroad administration" MT. McAdoo said in concluding.
 Speaking on the general results and effects of restored private con- trol, and the return to the old So- called competitive system of railroad operation with its great wastes and ineff1ciencies, with the tremendous burden imposed on the public of in creased freight and passenger rates, reflected in the prostration of agri- culture, labor and industry, of the colossal claims made by the railroad corporations against the governme ent for alleged under-maintenance, inef- hciecy of labor, etc. I am convinced that it would have cost the American people less money to have maintain ed control for a test period than has resulted from their return to private control.
 "I am also convinced that the present level of freight and passenger rates would have been unnecessary because there is no question in my mind that a we'll directed and unified operation of the railroads would enormously reduce the cost of opera tion, and greatly increase efficiency
 While the time "has gone by," he said, to urge retention of the rail- roads by the government, in the first year of government operations the total savings made by the railroad administration in unified operation was S,000,000, as against expenses under private operation.
 MT. McAdoo returned to the attack on his critics among railroad execu- tives, today, dealing chiefly with two charges, the first concerning under maintenance, while the second was a warm defense of his own labor and wage policies. Railroads went back to private ownership, he said, with 'tmore locomotives and more cars" than they had given the government As to the charges of neglected re- pairs, he said that the total cost of fitting freight cars for service after the government concluded was not
