Dec. 12 Railroad executive representing- 1:6 railroad I and 3 per cent of the mileage of the country, tonight gave out a formal ftatement In which they declared that! uirector-General McAdoo's suaa-cstlon that the Government retain control of I the railroad! until January. 121. "would simply lead to delay and con I fusion, demoralization of the organi sation of the railroads, both on their I corporate and operating; side and de-1 ler indefinitely a satisfactory settle mmf of the railroad problem. The executives, the statement sald.1 have reached the conclusion that there la sufficient time nnder the term of the I present act fully to consider the rail road situation in all its aspecta and I arrive at a plan that would be just to I tne country. Problems Are Stadled. The statement was given out by Thomas Dewitt Cuyler. Philadelphia, chairman of the Association of Railway Executives. The Association is con sidering problems that will arise In connection with the return of the rail road properties to their private owners. The statement follows: ' "The standing committee of the Asso ciation of Railway Executives has con sidered the letter of the Director-General to the chairman of the Interstate Commerce committees of the Senate and House and has reached the con clusion that there is sufficient time under the term of the present act to consider fully the railroad situation In all Its aspects and to arrive at a plan that would be just to the country as represented by its shippers and the public at large and on the other hand to the security holders and sharehold ers and employes of the railroads. They are in full accord with the President la his statement as follows: The one conclusion that I am ready to state with confidence is that it would be a disservice alike to the country and to the owners of the rail roads to return to the old conditions unmodified. These are conditions of restraint without development. There Is nothing affirmative or helpful about them. What the country chiefly needs Is that all these means of transporta tion should be developed its railways, its waterways. Its highways and its countryside roads. . 5cw Peltry Aaveeated. "Some new element of policy la therefore necessary necessary for the service of the public; necessary for the release of cjrdit to those who are ad ministering the railways: necessary for the protection of their security holders. The old policy may be changed much or little, but surely it cannot al ways be left as It was. I hope that the Congress will have a complete and Impartial study of the whole problem instituted at once and prosecuted as rapidly as possible.' "They feel that to extend the time at present would simply lead to delay and confusion, demoralisation of the organization of the roads both on their corporate and operating side and defer Indefinitely a satisfactory settlement of this great problem. "They regret to differ from the Director-General, recognizing the able way he has managed the roads during the period of Government control, but they feel confident that It would be unnecessary and unwise to extend the period of control beyond the time, now provideJ for under the act."

Often we put a con siderable sum into trifles that will be destroyed in a short time. Why not put the money into a savings account started with a reliable bank ? Any young per son feels proud to be possessor of a bank book; it fosters the sense of ownership always strong in youngsters. It gives him, too, a strong incentive to increase the account through his own ef forts; to save for some big thing. This bank is always glad to start people on the road to Thrift, and one dollar will open -a savings account here.
