WAR AS CAUSE
Of SLUMP
Avoid Foreign Alliances to
Insure Peace, He Advises;
Speaks to Manufacturers


CHICAGO, Dec. II (U.S0.
That the United States should
see an impressive lesson in the
frightful cost In human life and
money entailed by the, world war
and forever In the future steer
clear of foreign entanglements
was the keynote Of an address
delivered by Arthur Brisbane, edi-
torial writer for the Hearst news
papers, before 1,400 members Of
the Illinois Manufacturers Asso-
citation here last night.
After discussing prospects for
a return Of normal prosperity,
Mr.. Brisbane said:
'NOw this depression, as we
call II, we speak Of as having
happened . year ago and we
know IL Ii only going to last q
certain length Of time. 1t is
very nice to know that, but 1t
has lasted longer than we
think. It really has lasted 1S
months
Pay For It Now
Beginning in 1914. the intel
Iectual civilized beings on this
earth decided to start murder
ing each other. and they killed
100000. They spent $780,
100000, 600. Apparently some
Of the spectators thought they
would never have to pay for 1t,
but at present they are paying
for it. II Is . big bill, but |
hope we will soon get through
with it.
II think in the future what
this. country should do would
be to avoid mistakes. l think
we made some in that war. No
use talking about the past. l.
think we ought to keep out Of
complications. With all due
respect to contrary opinions, l
think we ought to keep out Of
the front door, the League Of
Nations, and the back door,
which is the League Court"
Refers to Ford
Mr.. Brisbane referred then to
Henry Ford, who was a guest at
the dinner to receive the award
of a gold medal for his contribu-
tions to industry and civilization.
He said:
"Mr. Ford Is mot running the
Chevrolet Company nor the
ROlls-ROyce In London. He is
running the Ford business. The
Government OF. the United
. States is not hired to be sympa-
thetic or anything else, but Is
the father Of this country and
should act toward this country
as a father acts toward his chill
dren.
Urges Debt Settlement
eff we want to have q League
Of Nations, let's have It with
Mexico, the United States and
Canada: protect this continent
and let the other people take
care of themselves. We are not
the father or mother Of En-.
gland, Germany or Rumania, or
any other country.
II think there's ought to be
some adjustment Of the great
debt question that seems to be
hanging over the whole world"

TAPL|NS FIGHT.
FOR 9TH TRUNK
LINE system
Counsel for Pittsburgh and
West Virginia Railroad
LaudS Coordination

It would be impossible to find
two railroads more favorabIy
situated, from q geographical,
operating and traffic standpoint,
for complete coordinate operation
and ultimate consolidation than
are the Pittsburgh and West Vir-
ginia and the Wheeling and Lake
Erie, w. s. Bronson, counsel for
the former road, told the Inter
state Commerce Commission to-
day.
The Pittsburgh and West Vir-
ginia has applied for authority to
acquire control Of the Wheeling
by purchase Of capital stock and
final argument on the application
was heard today by the commits
sion.
Pennsy Is Owner
Bronson said that the Pennroad
Corporation, now owner Of rs per
cent Of the capital stock Of the
Pittsburgh and West Virginia,
had agreed to resell all this stock
to the Taplin interests. The
Pennsylvania Company, owning
the controlling stock interest in
the Wabash and Lehigh Valley,
has agreed to sell it's holdings in
the capital stock Of those two
roads to the Taplin interests.
The commission recently or
dered the Pennsylvania Railroad
to diveSt itself Of its Wabash and
Lehigh Valley holdings, and 1T Is
understood the road plans to-
carry the case to the Supreme
Court.
Bronson made no inference to
this in his argument other than
to say that the Pennsylvania had
agreed conditionally to sell the
Taplins' control Of the two roads.
Seek Western Maryland.
The Taplins, he said, are ne
gotiating for the purchase of the
capital stock of the Western
Maryland. owned by the Balti.

the Taplin interests have been
consummated, they win control

Plan ADprOUed

The Interstate Commerce Com

railroads application TO increase
it's depreciation surplus to enable
the road to proceed with its re-
Mobilization program begun in
1927. Although the increase in
depreciation allowance viii also
increase the operating expense it
is expected that this will be off
set to some extent by the reduced
charges to expenses for equipment
retired.
Erie's gross for the year is eSti-
mated at $11O,000,000, against
$129, ,023, ,437 last year and will be
the smallest gross since 1922,
when it amounted to $106, ,874, ,103.
