who came south in her 26Sth trip
Just before the vessel sailed, the
gallant captain was called into the
dining saloon and in the presence
of a few passengers and some inter.
ested visitors, some of whom came
down on the memorable 26Sth trip
Rabbi Morris Sessler, in a brief ad

resented, turned over a beautiful
set of six volumes, embracing the
history Of the Jews, written by

heartfelt thanks to all those con
cerned and said that he was certain

Car Shortage Was Known

LAR shortage was known
Traffic Manager c. B. Hutchings
of the Traffic Dept, of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, after
investigation early in June, and be-
fore the strike went into effect, esti-
mated heavy car shortage this fall.
The American Railway Associa-
ton stated that on June 10 there
were 332.6S1 cars needing repairs,
26S,305 of which required heavy re-
pairs. Since then the strike has
paralyzed construction and repairs
of all kind. The association also
stated that the percentage of cars in
bad order on June 1 was Is per cent.
These same figures compared with
those of the Interstate Commerce
Commission show that there was
big backward movement of repairs
of freight equipment from April to
June. This, too, in the face of the
fact that the railroads knew from
Department of Agriculture reports
that the biggest crops of years
would have to be marketed this fall.
This policy of neglect of vital
rolling stock by the railroads is only
in line with the financial camouflage
showed down the publics throat by
as clever a bunch of artists as ever
drew press-agent's salaries.
That "Hard Time" Talk
In other words all the "hard-time"
railroad talk we have heard was
cooked up in great propaganda de-
partment and served at breakfast,
dinner and supper for the last four
years-in fact ever since the gov.
eminent turned the roads back to
the private owners after the war.
The result of this is, that nine
persons out of ten in the United
States today believe that the rail
roads are in a terrible plight; that
their operating expenses are enor
mous-that freight rates ought tc
be raised if they are to make repairs
etc, etc, etc.
1t isn't true.

companying box show profits of the
leading railroads for 1921. These
are their own figures as quoted by
gentlemen on Wall Street who are

Progress Is Being Made

dsrstanding on every topic" said
the American spokesman.
The agreement that the status
quo shall be continued in the Pa
cific, SO far as island fortifcations
are concerned, will be set forth in
the naval treaty. The paragraph
relating to this matter has been
placed in reserve pending reply to
certain queries propounded to Tokyo
by the japanese delegations. How
ever, It Is expected that the reply
will be available probably today.
And IL has been made very clear
that the fortiications paragraph
will define the region of the Pacific
and the mainland of the nations
participating.
while the chief delegates are
working out the naval treaty, and
its accompanying documents, MEM
bers of the various delegations are
examining into agenda questions
not yet settled. These include the
unsettled problems affecting China;
the Siberian and Pacific questions
The members of the American dele
CATION are compiling information
that will be used when the Far
Eastern Committee resumes its ses-
sions next week. It Is believed TO
be certain that a complete agree
ment will be reached by the con-
ference on all OF the aEenda sub
jects that have not been passed over
or settled.
Nations Must Consent.
OF course subjects that are COW
cred by treaty are not matters that
are capable of formal debate and
decision by this conference without
the consent of the nation directly
anected. 1t is because of this that
the historic twenty-one demands
treaty between Japan and China
cannot be considered by the con-
ference SO long as Japan objects.
And there are other matters in the
same position. But there also re-
main a number of subjects thar
must be settled before the proposed
nine-power treaty dealing with
China can be prepared.
1t Is this, as well as Shantung and
Siberia, that will make it impossible
for the conference to complete its
labors before the end of next week
at the very earliest and there are
some delegates here who frankly say
they will not be surprised IL final
adjournment does not have to be
postponed until the end of January.
