Couzens Declares Government Ownership OF
Railroads Appears to Be the Only Solution
treatment of the men who oper-

treatment of the men who oper-
ate the railroads
Then you know every manufac-
turer's organization or organization of
other groups jumps in to fight any
raise in rate or the adoption Of any
rule or regulation which in any way
affects their business.
Every one wants the railroads to
succeed at somebody else's expense.
THE personal interference Of so
called prominent citizens in govern
mental affairs frequently tends to
demoralize Government business, be-
cause a policy has grown up in this
country where men of prominence
and influence expect to have their
wishes complied with, and am sorry
to say that many public officers and
so-called politicians are influenced by
them and the newspapers because
they have not the stamina to stand
up against the pressure.
Silent on Ownership
"The President said in his message
to Congress on Dec 8, 1922, that Gov
eminent operation does not afford the
cure. I note that he is silent on
the subject Of Government owner
ship. Perhaps the President would
agree that that would affect the cure.
"The President says 1t was
Government operation that
brought us to the very order Of
things against which we now re
bel and we are still Hquidating
the cost of the supreme folly, but

sustain that conclusion.

Prince Andrew of Greece Says
Europe Will Soon See Great War
BY ALEXANDER HERMAN
NEA Service Staff Writer.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Europe Will
soon be embroiled in another great
war
In the wake of tan roTevtv M
desolation OF the last great. .--.-.-,
have arisen new hates and rivaltes
which have whetted the appetites for
new strife.
And there can be no staying these
until they have been sauated.
These are the views Of Prince
Andrew Of Greece, soldier and states
man, brother Of the late King Con
stantine.
IT'S the greatest tragedy OF his
tory" he said in an exclusive inter
view with NEA Service. Despite
past eight years. the world will not
learn.
Il don't know II it ever will
LAS long as one nation has the
coal and another has the iron. and
neither is good without the other,
there will be continual conflict. For
years it may smolder. only to fare
up when the provocation arises.
Look at France and Germany
more embittered now than even in
the hateful days Of the seventies.
The way out?
"a United States Of Europe. per
haps-but that Is hardly possible to
day There is no foundation TO work
on. There are too many national
differences, too many dissident
groups under present conditions to
be welded together.
THE whole problem seems too
great for any human solution now"
Prince Andrew looked out of the
window Of his room in the Hotel Am
bassador. Eight floors below lay
Park Ave. New York's most exolu-
sive street. Day workers from the
East Side were jostling members Of
the Four Hundred out walking with
their pedigreed dogs.

complete liberty and special privileges
to the railroads, of rebates; second,
the period of Government regulation.
and then the war period of Govern
ment operation.
1t Is an interesting pastime of
business to throw mud at the Govern
ment in all of It's ACTIVITIES, yet I am
safe in saying that a comparison Of
the methods, failures and successes
In private industries would show up
worse in comparison with government
tai activities.
Capital will not continue to invest
in railroads under present manage
ment and present rules and regula-
items governing income.
''I make no defense or criticism
of the way the Government han
died the railroads, but I do say
that, in spite Of the fact that I
am a Republican. I cannot con-
done any statement that the TAX
ing over OF the railroads by the
Government during the war was
supreme folly
Credit Due Government
Every one knows that the railroads
had fallen down. that their credit was
shattered and that something had to
be done and I know Of no other agency
than the Government who could put
the credit behind the railroads and
carry the commerce Of the country
to help during the war
Undoubtedly many mistakes were
a go T.,-@
what private agency could have as
sumed such responsibility without a
moments training and have gotten
away with It without making mis-
takes?"
