William w. Colpitts OF New York, O

today that governmental restrictions

He said removal of some o. the re-

way toward developing and improving
the railways services.
The functions of the Interstate
Commerce Commission have been ex-
tended to the point where, with one
important exception. that body is all
powerful" Mr.. Colpitts added.
The exception is in the matter Of
railroad wages, which are practically
in control of the Railroad Labor Board.
Thus is created situation in which
actions of one body, whom the public
regards as vested with the responsible

to sustain the railroads may be nulli-

Ing no such responsibility.
This matter of regulation has reach

RUSSIA HAS LAUGH
ON U.S., SAYS SHAW
Soviets Have "AII but Knock
ed Us Out" Playwright
Tells Radio Listeners.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 12.-Georqe
Bernard Shaw in transatlantic
broadcast to the United States yester-
day maintained that Russia has the
laugh on u.s."
The bearded Irish philosopher and
playwright, speaking from London,
defended Communism and the Soviet
government in Russia, which he re-
Gently visited. The program, rebroad-
cast over a Nationwide hook-up, was
his first radio speech exclusively for
Americans.
Russia has us fooled, beaten, shamed
shown up, outpointed and all but
knocked us out" Shaw asserted.
I'VE have lectured her from the
heights of our modern superiority and
now we are calling on the mountains
Flaunts Roaring Furnaces.
Russia flaunts her budget surplus,
her people employed to the last man
and woman. her scientific agriculture
doubling and trebling her harvests, her
roaring and multiplying factories, her
efficient rulers, her atmosphere of such
hope and security for the poorest as
has never before been seen in a civilized
country on earth"
Shaw compared the overthrow of
the Czarist regime in 1917 to the
American Revolution.
"Lenin and his friends took command
of the SoVietS and established the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republicans"
he said, exactly as Washington and
jefferson and Hamilton and Franklin
and Tom Payne had established the
United States of America 14l years be-
fore"
In his characteristic deep voice he
added "a word or two of consolation"
to those who have been telling one
another for a month that ! have gone
dotty about Russia"
Suggested by Americans.
after ALL" he remarked, some of
the most wonderful things the Russians
are doing were suggested SO years ago
by Americans, many of whom have been
sent to jail for their pains"
At another point. describing what
travellers to Russia would see, he said:
You must not expect a paradise.
Russia Is too big a place for any gov
to get rid IN IA years of the
frightful mass of poverty, ignorance and
dirt left by the czardom.
Il am afraid there is still a good
deal Of the poverty, ignorance and dirt
we know so well at home, but there is
hope everywhere in Russia, because
these evils are retreating."

tween his camp and Washington in 2
hours and As minutes.
A flock Of sheep which strayed slowly

most the only interruption on the trip

World Bank Directors Invite Central
Institutions to Conference.

BASEL, Switzerland, october IL (E').-
Directors of the Bank for International
Settlements today invited the central
banks of countries which have found IL
necessary to restrict trade in foreign
enthusiastically Great Britain and
Germany-to meet for a conference in
Basel for the purpose of co-ordlnatlng
their restrictive measures.
This coordination was considered de-
sirable by the directors Ito avoid grave
inconvenience" which the restrictions
produce in other countries.
The World Bank renewed its quarter
share in the ST 900 100000 credit to
the German Reichsbank, which nor
mally would expire on November 4. 1t
was expected that the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and the Banks of
England and France would renew their
quarter shares also.
The bank, il association with the
Bank of England, also renewed the
$4,000 000-shilling credit to the Ma
tional Bank of Austria, which would
have expired on october 16.
1t was understood that Montagu Nor
man, governor of the Eank of England.
told the World Bank directors that
there was no chance of StabiliZing the
pound sterling in the next few weeks.
The assumption was that he referred to
England.
The view is held in some informed
banking quarters that Great Britain
probably will return to the gold stand
ard within a year. The widely ex-
pressed idea that most of the world is
on the verge Of quitting the gold stand
ard, leaving France and America hold
ing a demonetized metal, has been con-
Sidered in World Bank circles, but APP
parently is regarded as improbable.
Observers have been unable to de-
tect any real anxiety on this subject
in American and French sources. 1t is
considered that there is scarcely any
: likelihood that Germany or italy will
suspend the gold standard, and these
countries, with America and France
constitute strong factor for mainte-
nance of the gold basis.
While some observers believe that
proposals for some kind of an inter-
national currency are still being dis
cussed by international banking lead
ers, the majority opinion is that such
a proposal cannot at this time attain
practical form.
