"BESPEAKS peace of world .
New York The world needs cour
age, confidence, the optimism of last
ing peace. Dr. Nicholas Murray But
ler, . president of Columbia univer
sity and recipient' of the Noble Peace
prize for 1931, said at a dinner ten
dered him by the -- Lotos club. For
himself, he said, ; he was optimistic
that ideals of peace would some day
grip all the world.
"It takes so long for an 'idea to
take hold of the minds and heitrts
of men and to move the masses," he
said. "It is a challenge to industry,
to insight and to idealism to shorten
the time it takes for great ideas ta
take hold. No -great question: was
ever answered. i:i. tortus. of pessimism
and no great problem was ever solv
ed in terms of pessimism. What the
world needs today is not more wealth,
but more confidence and courage."
Grain Movement
by Trucks to be
Much Heavier
Kansas Officer Believes Increased
Grain Rates Will Have This Ef
fect Over the Country
Topeka. Jan. 5. A predcticn some
cf the grain movement in Kansas
would be driven from railroads to
trucks as a result-of the decision or
the United Stat as supreme court set
ting aside the grain freight reduc
tions which vent into effect last
August in western states, was made
today by Charles C. Steiser, attorney
fcr the state public service commis
sion. .: . ;
"Heretofore, very little grain h-s
moved by truck." lie said, "but with
the increased rates, - which neces
sarily will go into effect, and with
the lower cost qf trucks, gasoline,
labor and oil. I think it. can be pre
dicted safely tht'grain will move Irt
Kansas by truck upwards to 100 miles
in distance. If that be true, then it
is simply another argument to drive
commodities from ;the. rail to be haul'
ed by truck in the future., ,
Agriculture in. Greater Need.' ,
"While it is true the railroads are
in need t)f additional revenue, -agriculture
is in nce.t of -greater revenue,
and if the effect ol this decision :will
be to drive grain, to trucks, then the
railroads will suffer, together with
the traveling rpubrhr, on account--of
greater congestion's--of -the highways.
"This looks. lik to me to be the
most unfavorable., effect of the de
cision. Apparently this fact was not
dwelt upon in the opinion rendered."
Stiger, who apepared- before- the
3-judge federal rcourt in Chicago in
the western gr.a,in .ease ,and later, filed
briefs in the supreme court when the
railroads took - an" 'appeal, said yes
terday's deWsid 'concluded a'7-year
ru?pt,of, thjeKieflnt producers if pr a
reduction .of .,f reighj rates." ,. , ti
Apparently! ByeneA. the Order..
v "From reading newspaper accounts
cf the decision; 'It is- apparent that
the supreme court completely revers
ed the interstate, commerce commis
sion's order solely upon one ground,
and that is of a changed economic
condition whfci';hr:s occurred since
the testimony - ws finished in Sep
tember, 1928,' 8n(l Xhat which exist
ed in April, ,193., .when the carriers
filed their second application to re
open the case, the decision of the
commission having been rendered in
August, 1930.; - .
"The commission spent months in
hearing testimony which consisted of
53,000 pages and tons cf exhibits.
One of the striking features of this
decision appears-to me to be that it
almost is impossible to determine
when a hearing has been concluded
end finallj determined. If it be pos
sible, on account of changed con
ditions, to open every rate case, in
my judgment no rate case could
ever be safely concluded."
In predicting truck movement of
grain, the attorney said annual net
operating income of the railroads had
decreased to a great extent on ac
count of the change in economic con
ditions in the last few years "and to
a greater extent by reason of bus
and truck competition."

In regard to the alleged Dcnniaon

""Tern Denr.ison has been in con
trol of the department for ever so
leng. !t is such complete control
that some of the high ranking offi
cers of the .department report-, at hi
olf5ce every morning."
He declined to "name the officers
thus, charged but' promised thr.t
"further, changes" are to be made

'"The condition is so bad there,"
Sorensen said, "that you can find a
bootlegging joint , almost any,, place
ycu happen to be. The police annual
illustrated the condition of that de
partment of the city."
'He- referred to the scandal pro
duced by advertisements of alleged
liquor dealers, gamblers and women

GENERAL FECHEI TO RETIRE
Washington Major General James
E. Fechet, retiring as cLiiJ of the
army air corps and from U. Si. army,
after thirty-three years cf service, is
sued a statement 6n this' country's
unpreparedness for national defense, j
' "I have come to the end of rny
military career," said General Fechet.
"I have passed the control stick on
to younger hands. I go in sorrow at
the . state of our armed forces, in
sadness at the attitude of my coun
try tcward its defenders and because
of the false sens eof security r.i peo
ple seem to feel. I want my fa.cwell
act to be. this word of warni;i. We
are the best hated nation i:; the
world; we house more than our
share of the world's treasure. That
treasure is new practically unpro
tected. Unless wa do a hasty about
face, unless there is immediately a
national consciousness of impir.ding
trouble with ample preparation to
meet it, our fool's paradise will soon
be lost.
"I am not interested in the
aviation industiy as a business, but
it must commercially succeed if it
is to be an asset of national defense
and without such an asset we shall
have no national defense. Therefore,
I cm anxious that it should be in
tensively developed and kept healthy,
vigorous and profitable in all its
branches. Building by federal agen
cies, army navy aniT postal service,
must be encouraged if American
aviation as a whole is to quickly
reach that point where it will sup
port an industry which will be in
readiness to care for the national de
fensa needs at the beginning of a
major war."
