take this first opportunity to cay horn-

people has been with Italy.
"We have seemed no doubt indifferent
at times, but our hearts have never

the declaration of peace, as authorized
by the existing law, and legislation
meanwhile by Congress to provide
permanent solution of the railroad
proble?n. -
Three Reason Are Given.
Mr. TJcAdoo gave three reasons why
he does r.ot believe in retaining control
cf the roads for 21 months:
That railroad companies already are
challenging the authority of the Rail
road Administration to require them
to purchase certain equipment, and
otherwise are not giving a full meas
ure of co-operation; that some state
railroad commissions threaten to dis-
putethe right of the Federal manage
ment to dictate intrastate rates in nor
mal peace timrs, and that the uncer- 1
ainty of the future would cause a fer
ment within railroad organizations
particularly destructive to the morale
of employes and officers.
Unified Control Proposed.
To Senator Cummins' comment that
he thought it "little less than a crime
to turn back the roads at an early
date, with the standards of wages, ma
terial costs and rates as they are," and
that "unless the roads are given more
time to prepare, it will be little short
of disastrous," Mr. McAdoo replied:
