Time to Stop Vicious Circle Investors Must Be Protected and Companies Financed if U S. Takes Over Roads WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. The American railroad system must bo conscripted. ' This is the verdict of tho Interstate Commerce Commission and that body's answer to tho railroads' petition for a general advance of 15 per cent in freight rates. In n special communication transmitted to Cogrcss today the commission declares that ono of two things must bo done to put American lailroads on an operating basis that will expedite tho winning of tho war: Kirst, the pooling of every railroad in tho country into one mammoth gystem, to bo operated and under the direction of some central body to be designated by Congress and the temporary sus pension of anti-trust laws now prohibiting such mergers. Second, the taking over of the entire American railroad system by the President and its operation as a war measure. Speedy action is demanded by the commission. This is no time for "temporizing," the latter states. Commissioner McChord, who Ins i hinge of tho car shortage Investigation and has worked Willi tho railroads' war boaid, dissents from tho majority of the commission as to that portion of its leionimcndatloii which would permit the railroads to form tlicli own operating pool His erleiico has demonstrated, lie sijs, that the Government must tako absolute couliol, as no voluntary com mittee of tho railroads will work har moniously alid effectively. .NO HATH !Nciu:.m:s III view of tho letter of the commis sion tho rallrouds mav cxpec t no In crtaso in railroad rates In response to their petition for .1 general advaiuc.

Tho commission nlso points out that the tost of living Is so high and the Government's own demands for money so great that tho public could not llnd spare cash to put into railroad securities, no matter how good their nedll might be.
