B. & O. PRESIDENT SEES
TRAFFIC GAIN IN 1925

Daniel Willard. president Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, says: At ex-
pect our traffic will run in somewhat
greater volume in 1925 than last
year. Consultations should be ef-
fected just so far as it may appear
economical to do SO. The inspiring
thought behind the consolidation idea
is that by consolidation transporta-
tion cost may be reduced, which 1t is
hoped will be followed by reduced
transportation charges. 1 can think
of no reason for developing a group
unless there is sufficient cause to be-
lieve that economies would follow. 1
do not suppose there will ever be
any solution of the railroad problem
that may properly be considered per
manent I believe, however, that the
present plan of regulation provided
in the transportation act of 1920 goes
as far as is prudent in the way of
regulation at present"

Dear Mr.. President:
telegra aphed so fully about interviews
with Lloyd George concerning a possible Aus
TRAN peace proposal that | need write only
certain minor illuminative incidents. Al my first
interview i expressed my astonishment at his
conclusion-that Austria a greater hind
rance to Germany ally than she would
be as a neutral. TO my arguments he simply
repea ted his conclusion with anna Zing IA pdity
The most hopeful thing that | could then in
duCe him to say that he would take some
of his associates into his confidence and tell
when there anything more to sav But on
top Of this he forbade me TO mention the sub
jeCt to any members of the government for
the present" That for the time being baked
me. IT was as If an Amba ssador at Washington
had taken up subject with you. had got your
answer. and had asked leave to discuss it with
members of your cabinet. If YOU had said No"
he would of course have been silenced on the
penalty of forfeiting your confidence if he had
gone further. 1t occurred me then that per
haps | had made mistake in going to him
first. Yet any other course would have been
