Calls For Generous Gifts "I. therefore, again call upon the, people of the United States to make| even more generous contributions than they have made heretofore to' sustain through the winter months those who through no fault of their own have been left In a starving, shelterless condition, and to help re- i establish these ancient and sorely oppressed people in their former homes on a self-supporting basis.''

Advantages of this, Mr. I McAdoo said, are that it would take | the railroad question out of politics i for the present, give time for carry ing out an extensive program of im provements, and provide opportun ity for a fair test of unified control to Indicate the permanent solution of the railroad problem. President Approves Plan "The President has given me per mission to pay that this conclusion accords with his own view of the matter," Mr. McAdoo concluded. The letter was addressed to Sena tor Smith, of South Carolina, and Representative Sims, chairmen, re spectively, of the Senate and House interstate commerce committees. Mr. McAdoo explained that to con tinue government operation for twenty-one months after formal declaration of peace under present conditions would mean disruption of morale among employes and offi cers, and could not enable the gov ernment to go ahead with improve ments and purchase of equipment. Another alternative, the prompt return of the railroads to private contrbl, without legislation to per mit elimination of the old wasteful competition, would be "hurtful alike to the public interest and to the; railroads themselves," he said, and the difficulty of obtaining imme diate legislation providing a perma nent solution, is apparent. Takes Service Out of Politics "There is one, and to my mind only one, practicable and wise al- j ternatlve," Mr. McAdoo continued, I "and that is to extend the period | of Federal control from the one ( year and nine months provided by j the present law to five years, or until I the first day of January, 1924. Thii extension would take the railroad question out of politics for a reason able period. It would give compo sure to railroad officeVs and employ es. It would admit of the prepara- j tion and carrying out of a compre hensive program of improvements of the railroads and their terminal facilities which would immensely increase the efficiency of the trans portation machine. It would put back of the railroads the credit of the United States during the five years period so that the financing of these improvements could be suc cessfully carried out. It would of fer the necessary opportunity un-1 der proper conditions to test the value of unified control and the ex perience thus gained would of It self indicate the permanent solu tion of- the railroad problem. "The American people have a right to this test. They should not be denied it. It is to their interest that it should be done. In my opin ion. it is the only practicable and reasonable method of determining the right solution of this grave eco nomic problem.

FARMER DEAR-IN BARN i West Milton, Pa., Dec. 12. —Ben- jamin F. Gray, a prosperous farmer, j was found dead in his barn yester- j day. Doctors said heart disease was the cause. I I ing or disproving the theory of gov- I ernnient ownership or any other j kind of theory. The railroads have I been operated for the past year with j the purpose of serving efficiently the | paramount needs of the war and jat the same time furnishing the best possible service to the public, | whether such .operation tended to prove or to disprove any theory of I railroad control, no matter what It i might be. I have formed no opln ; ion myself as to what is the best | disposition of the railroad problem j because the test has not been sutH ) cient to prove conclusively the right j solution of the problem. I believe! I that a five-year test will give the | American people the right answer. An ounce of experience is worth a ton of theory. Denies Ownership Conversion - "There are those who ' may say that an extension of five years for such a test will mean government ownership. Personally, I do not be lieve It. But whether such a test would indicate that the ultimate solution shall be government own ership or a modified form of private ownership under • effective Federal regulation, should not cause us to hesitate or refuse to act." If Congress does not extend the time for government control, said i Mr. McAdoo, the railroads should ; be returned to private management j "at the earliest possible moment." Practical difficulties of continuing government operation under exist | ing authority, he pointed out. are the growing conflicts of authority between state and Federal jurisdic tions, inadequacy of the half bil lion dollar revolving fund for financ ing improvements, inability to force railroads to pay for cars and loco \ motives without litigation, and to j j require terminal improvements. Philadelphia. Dec. 12. Recom-I | mendation by Director General Mc- j ; Adoo that government control of j ; railroads continue until January, I ; 1924, was no surprise to the rail | ropd executives of the country. It! j was learned last night. The railroad I executives' advisory committee, \ which is in conference here on prob | lenis relating to the return of the' roads to private operation, had in timations from Washington that the i administration was considering the advisability of recommending an ex -1 tension of government control. The advisory committee is made up of twenty-four members, repre i senting 125 railroads throughout the | country. This committee at a meet | ing in New York December 4, adopt ed resolutions that government own | ership and operatiqn of American | railways "is not conducive to the j I highest economic efficiency of the : country." * . I The sessions are executive and ' it was stated that probably nothing will be made public until the cony , mittee finishes its work. It was pointed out that the recom mendation of Director McAdoo ex i tends government control of rail- I roads three years beyond the maxi- I mum time estimated by President Wilson in his recent address to Con- J gress. • Dr. Harvey B.

Sproul discussed the necessity of party har mony In Pennsylvania and the impor tance of raising some of the costs of war from the shoulders of the people In a notable speech made In Washing ton last night at a dinner given by Representative J. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia, In his honor. At the table sat the political leaders of Pennsylvania—Senator Penrose, State Senator Vare. Representative W. S. Vare, State Senator Crow, along with Representatives J. H. Mann. Repre sentative F. H. Glllett, Joseph G. Cannon, Representative Nicholas Longworth and Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee. \ Mr. Sproul told of the part of Penn sylvania in the war and then serious ly discussed what the-state expected of the nation. He said that it was his great ambition that Pennsylvania politicians should be united in fact; that he hoped that the Influence of Pennsylvania's the largest Republican delegation in Congress, would be completely united in the present ses sion and sessions to come. r His ref eience to politics was takeh to mean that he desired to see the Penrose and Vare factions united In the com ing mayoralty contest In Pennsylva nia, says the Philadelphia Press. "The great thing which has hap pened In many years." added Senator Sproul, "was the election of a Repub lican Congress in this great crisis. This was a vote of confidence in the Republican party and a tribute to the leadership of the Republicans who stood steadfastly behind the President during the war. This was the thing which gave the Republicans the issue and it Is the thing wJiich calls for the exertion of the best leadership in the months to come. "Thoughtful men are now asking," said Mr. Sproul, "why the Administra tion opposed the spending of $lOO,- 000.000 for preparedness and why in peace times }2.000,000,000 Is asked for the Navy. The people are wondering If we are to build a navy to threaten the nations with which wi been associated. Nobody seems to know why this is proposed. Another thing they are asking is,.why we propose to loan more money to the Allies." Mr. Sproul spoke with regret of the grent taxes and said that If tliese burdens were tofiie continued it would bo hard for such industrial states as Pennsylvania to pay the taxes and keep Industry moving at the same time. He suggested to Congress that it carefully consider taxes, adding that it would be impossible for the average businessman to pay the heavy taxes and keep up the high wages to labor at the same time. "I dislike to be a pessimist," he said, "but I predict that if conditions are not modified there will be n ter rible panic." Lleutenant-Governor eleet Edward E. Beifileman lauded Pennsylvania for what it had done in the war, sending more than 25,000 men to France, supplying one-sixth of the taxes and one-half of the mu nitions manufactured for this Govern ment and the Allies. William I. Schaffer, to be Attorney General under Spnvul, said that the country did not understand Pennsyl vania because of its complex popula tion. He said that if the Republicans in the nation conducted themselves sanely Pennsylvania would give the Republican ticket- In 1920 a majority of 750.000. Senator Penrose made a humorous speech, during which he reviewed the accomplishments of the present Ad ministration. He said that, while the I pending tariff bill was not what might be desired, it was lncumbeht upon-Congress to pass It. and that the Republicans would do nothing in a 1 dilatory way to bring about its de ! feat.

On them devolved the creation | of ttte great armies of the nation and their supply with the equipment and stores indispensable to military oper ations.
