Couzens Opens
Fight for U. S.
Rail Ownership
Questions Harding's State
ment That Government of
Lines During ^ar Was
^“Stupid Folly.”
H> GEORGE F. ACTHIKR.
Wu.lilngtiiii Correspondent The llnuhn Bee.
Washington, Jan. 18.—(Special.)— j
First step In the national fight for
tlie nationalization of railroads which
is hound to be an issue in the next
presidential election, was taken when
Senator James E. Couzens of Michi
gan made a public statement which
is interpreted as placing him in the
ranks of the proponents of govern
ment ownership.
Senator Couzens, who was appointed
to succeed Truman II. Newberry, has
hail some experience in government
owned railroads. He made his first
reputation, following the acquirement
of a large fortune, in bringing about
municipal ownership of the Detroit
street railways. Government owner
ship does not frighten him. He calls
attention to the fact that President
Harding said in a recent statement
that the government experiment in
governmental operation of railroads
during the war wits "stupid folly,"
but points out the president failed
to prove this statement.
Here is the way the Michigan sena
tor regards the problem:
Condition Alarming.
"The present railway condition is
undoubtedly alarming and if this
country is to liv»«und not be stifled
to death by a lack of transportation
to take rare of its continued gtowth
of population and the increased needs
of the people, something has got to
be done and done quickly. Capital
will not continue to invest In rail
roads under present management and
present rules governing income.
"Whether government ownership
and operation is the solution is to be
seen, but it looks as though It is
coming fast. The mere taking over
of the railroads by the government
is not the solution, but more partic
ularly it the government takes them
over, the problem is under what plan,
and at what cost, and under what sys
tem of control and management.
These problems have got to be solved
and apparently there Is no other body
empowered to solve them than the
congress of the United States.
Must Have Capital.
“If the railroads themselves, if man
ufacturers, merchants or farmers or
other great users of railroads have
plans tor the solution of the prob
lem. the solution must mean, first
of all. more capital for expansion
and assurances that we will have
more efficient and economical man
agement.
“It is interesting to note that on
Friday, last, the American Railway
association issued a statement that
tlie movement of revenue freight was
the heaviest at this time of year, in
all history. Even with this enormous
traffic and with the enormous freight
rates, they showed an earning power
in November of only 4 4 per ccqf on
their tentative valuation.
“With this showing coupled up with
a consistent demand for lower rates,
to whom is tlie country to look for
more capital to take care of the ex
pansion?”

Can France Force
Germany To Pay?
The sudden withdrawal of the last thousand of the American soldiers from the Rhine is
interpreted by many Washington correspondents and editorial observers as an emphatic pro
test on the part of the United States Government against France’s invasion of the Ruhr Basin
and seizure of “productive guaranties” for the payment of Germany’s reparations debt. This
attitude on the part of official Washington, it is generally agreed, is due neither to sympathy
for Germany nor lack of it for France, but to a conviction that the seizure of guaranties wiil
not solve the reparations problem, and that it opens the door to a host of disastrous possibilities,
chief among which is another world war.
Many American papers, on the other hand, whole-heartedly applaud France for resorting to :i
show of force, “the only language that Germany understands”; and they predict that her course will
be fully justified by the results. The German-language press in the United States is pessimistic. “In
taking from Germany her richest industrial district the French will deprive themselves of the last
chance to get any further reparations,” declares the Philadelphia Tageblatt, which thinks that the re
sults of the Ruhr invasion will amount to “French suicide as well as unspeakable misery and chaos for
Germany, and possibly civil war in the “Reich.” Other Germaji-language papers express similar
convictions.
THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, January 20th, presents a sweeping survey of the criticism
from all quarters upon the present acute situation involving France and Germany and, in fact, the
entire world. Other news-features of very deep interest in this week’s DIGEST are:—
