 CONSOLIDATION OF RAILROADS

large number of railroads, for ac- cident prevention, and had laid the basis for comparative studies of ef- ficiency in railroad operation.
 Control eff railroad security issues, vested fin the commission, resulted in its approval during the year of stocks and bonds having total par valuation of $SS9,7f9.71O, with some additional issues having no par value, or value expressed in foreign cur rencies. The Illinois Central and Chesapeake & Ohio railroads, the commission said, had given "encour- aging indications" in the field of railroad finance by demonstrating that new capital could be secured for their expansions by issuance of stock, instead of by increases of bond indebtedness.
 R. R. Losses Paid
 Discussing the reimbursement of railroads which incurred losses in operations during the first six months after their return from gov. ernment to private control, the re port said that up to October 31 last, total payments of Si5o,073,o45 on that account had been authorized from the Treasury. Sums still pay able to the carriers, who were guar anteed reimbursement for such losses, the commission estimated at $85,- 926,O00. The report also expressed the conclusion that the further loans to railroads, authorized by the Trans portation Act, would not involve much money.
 Reductions in it's estimates for ap- prcpriat ions, made by the Bureau of the Budget, occasioned the com mission to recommend formally to Congress that amourts be given it "sltff icient to meet our absolutely necessary requirements" For the current fiscal year. its appropriations were $5,045,6 $50, the commission said, and for next year, it would require s5,2o4,5OO, though the Budget direc- tor had recommended that the amount be reduced to $4 ,494 300 With this smaller amount, the report said the commission would be forced to defer or greatly restrict work"
 Congress was further requested to enact legislatior,to make it criminal to bribe railroad employees to give preference in car surlply; to increase use of all-steel passenger cars by railroads, and to clarify sections of the existing Transportation act in relation to proposed consolidation of railroads.

 "There is also considerable re- turn from the herds of blue foxes which are mainbained on the Prfbi- lof Islands. Special attention has been given to the development and care of these herds which, it IS be- lieved. will steadily become more valuable from year to year since a dependable supply of food is avail able from the commercial killings of seals. The fox pelts taken during the winter of 1920-21, numbering i,125 blues and IA whbtes, were sold aIt public auri. ion in St. Louis in Sep tenAber. 1921, for $109,398 During the winter of 1921-22 foxing opera tons yielded total of TIP blue snd Fl whlse pe.ts, which will be sold in due course. A suitable reserve of breeding animals was also made for the maintenance of the herds.

In return for the general service performed, the natives are furnished food, fuel, clothing and miscellaneous supplies, and provided with living quarters, medical attention and school faciii- ties Cash payments are also made for centain work in connection with the taking of seal and fox skins. An mual supplies for the Pribilof Islands were transported chiefly by the radio tender Saturn of the Navy Depart menh, but smaller shipments were made by commercial vessels at va rious times during the year Vessels of the Coast Guard also rendered many courtesies in the transportation of passengers and small lots of sup plies"

Berlin. June 5.-Count Won Bern
storff former Ambassador TO the United
States. in the BoerSen Courier ey
pressed the belief that the results of the
Genoa economic conference again have
made acute the question of Germany's
admittance to the League OF Nations.
He fears the results achieved at the
conference will be placed IN jeopardy if
Germany continues TO be excluded from
the League, as many problems dis
cussed at Genoa would logically be re-
ferred to the League for further action.
q 1--WE therefore must strive 10 effect

4 manner betitting our dignity as q
nation" says Count Won Bernstorff.
Z As Germany cannot intrust her in.
terests in the League TO other nations.
the former Ambassador proposes that
Great Britain sponsor Germany cause
at Geneva by officiating as her god
mother. He suggests as a requisite
condition to Germany acceptance into
the League that her status as one OF
the major Powers be vouchsated her,
Is 1t was at Genoa.
Discussing the problem of a foreign
loan, Count Won Bernstorff says that
American support will be forthcoming z
only If American peace policies are
accepted abroad. He believes an in

active favor.
