There remains Socialism.
Socialism" Thomas defined,

1.-THE man who Is wise" he con-
Il tinued. is tempted TO one
OF two philosophies-either the
philosophy Of Spengler. who holds
that the process Of decay Of civil
ization is inevitable, or the phil
osopny of Lenin. which is the
philosophy OF salvation under
the dictatorship of a working
class party, born Of the inevitable
catastrophe TO which capitalism
hurls us.
Both PHILOSOPHERS have truth.
Neither has the whole, the newt
able truth for America. We near
the end of an epoch, but We better
may emerge into the new CO.
operative society Of doing all that
is in US TO stave off and mini
mize catastrophe.
we must improve democracy
rather than embrace dictatorship.

II sively concerned over the
housing problem in American
cities. and he believes circum-
stances are favorable now for a
huge federal program designed to
eliminate tenement and slum dis
tricts.
Money spent in improving
homes, he reasons, is money spent
on the future Of our civilization,
and money spent to employ many
men who now are idle.
ReSorestation, he feels, is an
other important problem.
There are immense areas OF
land" he explained. that can not
be farmed, yet they are splendid
for forest land. If We invest in
forests, we invest wisely. Forests
yield a positive return.
The land lies there, but what
is being done about it? Wouldn't
it be wise for us to look ahead,
beyond the immediate problem
at hand?"

By the Associated Press.

A plea that the home loan bank sys-

destructive criticism. was contained in
a statement presented Congress by the
United States Building and Loan
League.

Banking and Currency Committees Of
both the House and Senate that "other
institutions should refrain from
continuing the competitive offense
against the home loan bank system that
characterized their actions during the
six months it was being considered by
Congress"
The attack was directed primarily at
banking circles, banking publications
and life insurance companies The
home financing institutions in this
country and particularly building and
loan associations, do not presume to
pass upon and criticize the obvious
shortcomings Of the commercial bank
ing structure of the country" the state
ment said, adding that other institu-
tlons should be equally tolerant.
The life insurance companies were
pictured as being nlilitantly opposed to
the system and to this date very few
had come to the support Of it, although
they have been made eligible for mem
bership. Instead of using credit facil-
tiles provided by Congress, insurance
companies and bankers are sending
hundreds of their own mortgage debtors

endeavor to convert their mortgage

RAIL MEN OPPOSE
ONE SYSTEM PLAN
Giant Merger Would Prevent
Efficient Administration,
They Believe.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatcn 10 Ihe Star.
NEW YORK, December 24.-The
recommendation just made to the
Coolidge Committee by Nathaniel L.
AmSter that all of the railroads of this
country be merged into single system
as means of overcoming permanent
loss in ira ffic, brings up the subject of
what is being accomplished in the East
by the four systems which have been
consolidated under the plan approved
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
Little has been heard about the ac-
tivitieS of these roads since their pro-
poSal was adopted earlier in the year
1t may be said however that definite
progress is being made in working out
details OF coordination not only be-
tween the parts of the individual lines,
but with each other.
Problems Discussed.
The executives OF the Pennsylvania,
New York Central Baltimore & Ohio
and Chesapeake & Ohio Nickel Plate
systems meet every month and discuss
the problems that face them. They find
that it is much easier to arrive at de-
cisions when four men set down to-
gether than it was in the past when
20 or more individual points of view
had to be co-ordinated into common
program.
AS yet none of the independent lines
that were to be assimiated by each of
the four major systems has been
adopted by the parent company. After
the first of the year. it is understood
that one of the four systems will take
over the direct operation OF an i'm
portant carrier which has been oper-
ated as a separate unit since its con-
troll was secured.
1t is believed that a period Of pos
sibly two years will elapse before all
the details of consolidation and opera
ton have been completed. With flnan-
cial conditions as they are and the
market practically closed to public Of
ferings of railroad securities. 1t would
be impossible now to effect the finan-
cial arrangements necessary to secure
the control Of independent lines on the
basis of ar exchange Of securities or
cash offers for stock necessary to con-
summate the transfer of ownership.
The current discussions have to do
mainly with operating problems and
the consolidation of facilities where
roads operate at common points and
economies may be effected through the
Joint use Of these facilities.
Objections to Plan.
The AmsteT suggestion of a single
railroad system is not looked upon by
railroad men as feasible One Of the
objections to consolidation in units
such as are now proposed is that the
size of the merged properties prevents
efficient administration OF them. 1t is
also debatable whether such a consoli-
Iot o,ric IF
900 600 a year predicted. The history
Of most railroad consultations in this
country and abroad is that the econ
omies have proved to be much smaller
than those estimated by experts who
have studied the question. 1t is OBJ
vious that in order to bring about any
substantial saving there would have to
be sharp decrease in the personnel of
the carriers. This would meet with
strong objection on the part of the
railroad labor organizations.

SALES Of RAILWAY

Prospect Of Improvement

organization Plans.
BY the Associated Prssa.


NEW YORK. December al-Als
though railway equipment companies
entertain hope, they are surveying ths
future with the knowledge that, for
most Of them. 1882 will 60 down -
the leanest year In their history.
Improved business during the next
several months is felt to depend largely
on one Of two possible developments-
reorganization of the weaker carriers

expenditures can be pared sufncisne2
to permit the purchase Of more mod
ern equipment. or pickup In business
that will improve operating incomes
substantially.
Most railways under stress Of
stretching slender returns to meet large
disbursements, are refusing to use tina
credit facilities Of the Reconstruction
FINANCE Corporation for the rehabili-
tation OF tracks, structures and rolling
stock. Leading equipment concerns
nave formed the Railroad Equipment
financing Corporation. Virtually no
business, however, has been forthcom-
4Ao caA1o ldl % ItSuIL OF LrllS creQle
arrangement.
The handicaps of the equipment
makers are many. During 1882 few
railroads will have covered their fixed
charges, although the year-end traffic
IS not much under 1881. Pennies have
been watched closely where dollars once
received only a passing glance.
When traffic improved this Fall new
oroers Tor freight cars increased from
16 in August to 1926 in September.
Unfortunately for the equipment COM
panies, however, this work was done in
railway shops, and not a single order,
so far as known, went to the outside
manufacturers.
While some roads need equipment
badly. 1t Is pointed out that Others due
to the severe drop in operations, have
a large surplus. 1t is explained. how
ever. that the surplus is not evenly
that a fair proportion is
probably obsolete and will have TO be
retired sooner or later Equipment
makers therefore feel that business
must come back one Of these days.
