V Terrible". 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.'

"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.

"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.

"I confess X can see no reason what

slsiply for the purpose of protecting the
railroads from an alleged chaotic condi

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.
