Coordination of the Nations
transportation facilities to permit
more effective exploitation Of their
potentialities was recommended yes
terday through resolutions by the
seventh annual Conference for High
School Students held at George
washington University under spon-
sorship Of the institution.
At its final general session, the
conference adopted majority report
counseling regulation rather than
ownership Of transportation systems
by the Federal Government. BY
vote Of 140 to 18. it rejected a minor
ity report demanding outright own
ership Of the railroads and other in
terstate transportation.
The opinion of the conference as
finally expressed was that proper CO.
ordination would make possible prof
liable operation of all types of car
riers in specific spheres decided upon
Immediate financial reorganiza-
ton was termed prime necessity

DR.. William C. Johnstone. pro-
fessor of political science and dean
Of the G. w. Junior College. dis
cussed the "Other War in the Far
East" at luncheon gathering con-
cluding the conclave of more than
100 high school students from WASH
ington and suburban schools.
Although expected to advocate
Government ownership of railroads.
Eliot Janeway, contributing editor of
Time Magazine and New York econ
omist, said at the outset of an ad-
dress yesterday that he did not favor
such plan, but rather consolidation
of all railroads into three great sys-
TENS in this country. Admitting this
could not be accomplished quickly,
Mr. Janeway said: TT would take at
least 10 years to reconstruct this
ruined old industry"
Opposing Mr.. Janeway, Robert S.
Henry, assistant to the president of
the Association of American Rail-
roads, declared the lines are meeting
the United States rail transporta-
ton needs adequately.
Urges Far East Settlement.
DR.. Johnstone declared that the
war in the Far East is, In many re-
spects, more important to the United
States than what is happening in
Europe.
Discussing the "diametrically op-
posed" policies of the United States
and Japan in the Far East, DR..
Johnstone said that this country has
three possible courses of procedure:
/. Do nothing and allow Japan to
establish Japanese dominated new
order in the Orient.
2. Oppose Japan vigorously and
risk an armed conflict.
3. Join in a general settlement of
the problem Of the Far East, though
the United States and other foreign
powers would give up their privileges
in China
The speaker favored the third
choice because it involves less risk
and would better serve the interests
Of the United States and would per-
NIT Japan to end the war and, at
the same time, to save face"
I'VE would only be giving up some
thing we are going to lose anyway"
DR.. Jollnstone asserted, "and we
might as we'll do so gracefully now
instead of losing by force at a
later date"

The program, Dr. Weaver asserted
not only provides shelter for low
income families, but also creates en-
Dlovment. Cooperating with the
USHA, local housing authorities in
clude, in their specifications for con-
struction, clauses designed to protect
the interests of Colored building
trades workers. Under terms of these
agreements Colored workers had
received $350,000 in wages on USHA-
Aided Projects as of July 81. 1899.
Of this sum, more than $4,000 went
to skilled and Semi-skilled workers.
Newark, New Jersey, was cited by
the speaker as an example of the type
of employment opportunities offered
by local housing authority. The
staff of the Newark Housing Author
itv includes the following Colored
EMPLOYEES: two lawyers for titles, the
official photographer, social worker
for relocating of families, a steno-
grapher, typist and field construc-
ton clerk. 1t was significant, DR..
Weaver said, that competent colored
social worker was Vice-Chairman of
the Newark Housing Authority.
Other local authorities have en-
ploved colored architects and engin-
GERS on the projects, real estate men
and lawyers in land acquisition, social
workers, and office clerical workers
Later on additional employment will
be available in management and main
tenance work.

The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for a mess of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done so. Many of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their pernicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
