Situation in' Europe. "EYES TURNED TO AMERICA Thousands of Tons of American Supplies Already En Route to . . Various Sections of Europe. Paris, Feb. 3. Herbert G.- Hoover, American food administrator, issued the following statement Sunday on the beneficent results of the passage by the -United States congress of the approprlae tion of $100,000,000 to relieve the food distress' In Europe. He said - "The passage will lift the load of fear from the hearts of millions of people In Europe. It is little realized in the United States how fully and completely the dally wireless carries the progress of such measures as this to the roost're mote of the peoples now liberated from the Teuton yoke. It -must' be remembered that Presi dent Wilson's declaration -of the prime purposes of the American people in re- : establishing freedom and self govern ment for these peoples, have directed all their hopes toward, the United States, and today they will see ope more, step ' toward the desired end. "There is no question of the sacrifice it will call from the American people to provide this relief appropriation, as It comes now in a period when we have so many difficulties and problems for our own people to solve in the rehabili tation of our normal national life. "The usual relief for the newly-liberated peoples will not be delayed, even by the period required to ship foodstuffs from the United States under this ap . propria tion, because the war, navy and 'state departments, "and the American navy, have provided food under the old war legislation. ' "The new proposition enables us to extend the work of giving credits to these countries, for which there is no legislation. - - "We have at sea or discharging in the port of Trieste, 70,000 tons of food for the Jugo-Slavs, the Serbians and the Czecho-Slovaks. "We have 30,000 tons of food either arrived at or in progress to the Black Sea for Roumania. The Armenian relief committee has 7000 tons en route for Armenians and Syrians, as gift, and we are placing 10,000 tons in Constanti nople as a reserve for them, f "We aave 40,000 tons there en route or ' being trans-shipped from Rotter dam for the Poles, end 20,000 tons In Rotterdam awaiting reshtpment to the Finns and other Russian liberated popu lations. The Polish relief committee is sending a gift Of 7000 tons to the Poles. "We have, since the armistice, delivered- into- Rotterdam 30.00; -tons of ' feod foj the Belgians and -the' liberated French people, t with, the support 'of our treasury to BelgIam anil -France. "Had this new appropriation been re fused we should have sold - out these parcels of food ; to those who could o , real money and been Compelled .to allow the others to starve. "Administrations are being established to secure proper distribution In all needed territories.'

BAIL CONTROL r ( Continued From Pa On.) segregate and spread Out and In part dissipate the unfavorable and the psy chological factprs whidh under the 21 months plan promise toi converge so as to do the maximum daraage to the pub lic service." "Also the three-year jextenston would give opportunity for legislation imme diately following instead of immediately preceding the presidential election. - fBut,' be added, "I believe the five year extension would be much better because It would give added stability." Hlnes, realising that this plan faces widespread- opposition among both parties In congress, argued from every possible angle for its adoption. "Unless a reasonable extension shall Je - granted It will be contrary to the ubllc interest to hold the railroads for the full 21 months," Hlnes declared. Defisite Aetloa Senaaded "We bad better terminate the control and go back promptly to the tld system or we should extend the control long enough to admit of an adequate oppor tunity to adopt a radical and new sys tem which will really bring about a per manent solution." ., Unofficial reports at the railroad ad ministration are that unless congress votes an extension a proclamation will be Issued In March turning the. roads back about June 30. Fears of railroad executives and others that prompt return will result in chaos and financial loss were scouted by Hlnes. "We can only assume a chaotic condi tion by assuming the Interstate com merce commission would omit to per form Its functions," he explained. Attacking the commission's proposal for Increased powers, Hines said pres ent laws give ample power to preserve existing rates and for adjusting them to meet immediate necessities should government operation be abandoned. Pre-war intrastate rates could be set aside in favor of the higher on$B. Hines believes. "I would advise the president that any made by Josef Hofmann appearing at HEILIG THEATRE February 5th Undtr tht Management Steers & Coman A prodigy in his childhood, Josef Hofmann 'has achieved true greatness in his early manhood.

"I confess X can see no reason what ever why this control should continue slsiply for the purpose of protecting the railroads from an alleged chaotic condi tion." 4:.; - ' Hines announced his stand - on the question of government .ownership. ; "i do not personally believe In gov ernment ownership, he explained. "I believe there can be a form of radically reconstructed private ownership ' with such - close 'government supervision, in cluding government representatives on boards of directors, as will give the pub lic and labor all the benefits of govern ment ownership and at the eame time avoid the political difficulties which per haps are inseparable from government ownership.', r - Waste 9alr Test . Nevertheless,. Hlnes said, he wants a fair test made. "Wo know that a large body of the people of this country have a settled Conviction that this question cannot be successfully disposed of except through government ownership. Argu ments of government ownership advo cates are temporarily at a discount by reason of a reaction from all forms of government control, this being a perfectly natural aftermath of ,the war." , - - k Two years is nos- time enough for a fair demonstration, he said. No plan can be satisfactory which permits ex istence of over capitalization and a large number of companies, some strong. some weak, Hines believes. "Any plan of private management ought to provide for participation of the government and perhaps of labor In the 1 profits in excess of some comparatively moderate returns," he explained. He, wants a small guaranteed return, efficient concerns to get part of profits earned in excess. ' High operating costs were due to the war rather than to high wages. Charges to the contrary are unfair to railroad labor, Hines declared. STRIKE IN LONDON IS SPREADING (Continued From "Pie One) the English laborers. The shop stewards are behind practically all the present strikes. We are 'direct acUonists' as op posed to the regular unionists, who are constitutionalists. We art against the Bourgeoisie. We hope they will submit to the new regime, but if they are ob streperous we intend to be firm. Per sonally, I would not be surprised to see violence in England, but I hope It won't come. I presume it may be necessary to control the London newspapers. We do not Intend to touch the telegraph lines. We intend to use the per cent controllers of industry as managers under us when they are good fellows.

Placing one finger on a picture of Lenin, his wife and friends In a car riage, lie said : '--V "It looks like a peaceful family party. We do not bellevo all the stories we hear of Bolshevist terror. We hape tp avoid the use of physical force, but If we are opposed we intend to seize industries. The shop steward committees are al ready organized, preparatory to taking over the plants in which they are work ing. When the time comes we will sim ply shut off products from the present owners, operating the plants ourselves."
