PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
 OF RAILROADS HAS NOT BEEN FAILURE
Sir Henry Thornton Declares Officers and Employees Efficiency
 Gives Lie to Critics.

Montreal Oct. 18-Sir Henry w. Thornton, chairman and president ot the Canadian National Railways largest governmentowned railroad sys- tenn in the world-discussed govern ment ownership of the railroads in this Ecity last week at luncheon rendered to the members of the Chicago ter n1inal committee.
 "Government ownership of railways in Canada has proved one thing" said Sir Henry.
 "We feel that III Canada we have demonstrated conc1usive1y that the off cers and employees of government just as loyal and just as enthusiastic as those of privately owned railways, and the assertion that those who work for state-owned railway become care less and inefficient IS wrong It de pends entirely upon how the railway is administered" ....=...
 Sir Heh1rys' remarks were provoked by the comments of neWspa, ,ers and political leaders III the United States on the Canadian experiment in govern ment ownership.
 , He said the success or failure of the Canadian experiment could not be used as an argument for or againt the national ownership of railroads in the United States.
 not at all similar, he said Canada is sparsely settled and the main problem Is to increase the population to the point where 1t can support modern railroad.
 The government was forced into the railroad business because privately owned lines were on the rocks finan- cial1y If the government had not taken charge those lines might have been abandoned, causing great loss and in convenience to the people.
 In the opinion of Sir Henry, the problem of state ownership of railways is one which must be decided by each country fof itself The fact that one state-owned railway succeeds or fails does not, he insisted, necessarily mean that the experiment in another coun try would succeed or fail,
 On other occasions Sir Henry ha! made 1t clear that he. does not expec the experiment to fail in Canada. Wine he first assumed control of the Cana

barrels of oil at an advance of 25 cents per barrel.
 That would mean a profit to the Continental of $8,25O,000.
 Why did Cinclair put through this extraordinary deal? If he wanted Humphery's oil, why didn't he buy 1t for $15O per barrel in the first place ?
 The answer is that Sinclair and his associates were involved in some deal which could not be put through under ordinary rules of business.
 The representatives of the United States government say that the Con- tinental actually purchased 870OOO( barrels of oil under this contract, and that its profits were $2,l75,000.
 This money was invested in Liberty Bonds.
 Those who held certificates of stock in the Continenal were paid in Liberty Bonds instead of checks. Checks some times prove embarrassing in a court of law Liberty Bonds do not, The government says that Fall re- ceived $oOOOO from this slush fund IT addition he got $1OO,OOO from Doheny and $25, 1000 in Liberty Bonds from Harry Sinclair
 As soon as La Toilette and Walsh began exposing the Teapot Dome affair, the Continental Trading Company, Ltd, was dissolved, and all the Liberty Bonds in the treasury were distributed to the stockholders.
 The United States government would like to have the names of those stock holders. The people of the United States would like to have them. That list would reveal the real story of the footing of the Naval Oil Reserves

FALL GIVEN $9O,OOO
 IN LIBERTY BONDS:
 OTHERS INVOLVED?
Strange Deal By Which Sinclair and Associates Provided Huge
 Profits.

Washington, Oct 18.-When Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana was per sistently pressing his investigation of the Teapot Dome scandal, Washington was filled with ugly rumors of "a mil lion dollar slush fund.-" raised by the oil n1agnates to bribe public officials
 Walsh endeavored to locate this fund but did not succeed Apologists for the oil grafters sneeringly declared the story was myth.
 At last the fund has been located, and now it develops that 1t contained much more than million dollars, and that Secretary Falls share was not less than $o0OOO .."
 Other public officials undoubtedly re- ceived their "cut" The facts will never be made public, unless Canadian court compels certain witnesses to testify.
 Special counsel representing the gov ernment and appointed as result of a resolution forced through the Senate by the Progressives, have applied to the Supreme Court of the Province of On taria, Canada, to compel H. s. Osler, an attorney and an officer of the Continen- tal Trading Company, to tell what he knows in court under oath
 Os1er has intimated that he is pre- pared to go to prison rather than talk
 The United States Government in its petition tells the following extraordi- nary story:
 The Continental Trading Company, Ltd, was organized under the laws of Canada in 1921, soon after Albert B. Fall became Secretary of the Interior in the cabinet of President Harding.
 The corporation was formed to do just one thing. It entered into con tract with A. E. Humphreys, owner of the Mexia oil field in Texas, to purchase 33,0O0,O00 barrels of oil at $15O per barrel.
 Harry Sinclair and other oil nagnates mixed up in the Teapot Dome scandal, were present when Humphreys signed Lnc COHtIdCt, dHu uicy pciSoHduy guar anteed him that the Continental would carry out this agreement
 Humphreys had never heard of the concern and knew nothing of its back CTS, but he was willing to take the signed pledge of Sinclair and the others
 On the same, day, November r, 1921, Sinclair entered into an agreement win fhe Continental to buy the 33,000,0 900

that he would not have taken the job ii he had not believed there was an ex- ceIlent chance to place the great sys- tenn on its feet Up to date he has made remarkable progress, and he is receiv~ ing the loyal support of the Canadian people.
 If Sir Henry is as successful in the future as he has been in the past, the Canadian National will be ''out of the woods within the next few years, and this country will have a thoroughly modern transportation system, owned by the people and operated for service and not for profit
