There la much discussion over the country regarding a federal control of air railways at least during the war. The extremists want a govern sent ownership straight; others ad ment merely government control on a basis that will unify the various avstems Into a perfect working whole, and furnish the money sorely needed for additional equipment and repairs. Cimila hna adnDtsd the Dlan. A iaw has passed parliament providing for government control without gov ernment ownership. Under the Ca nadian plan, the government has bought np a large share of the stock "but under' the plan most generally advocated on this side of the line the government would simply guar antee a certain fair rate of Interest on the stock now held by a million or more Individual Investors throughout the conntry, and use any additional money It devoted to the 'purpose In Increasing the steam pow r, rolling stock, terminal facilities nd general betterment of the sys tems. A comprehensive plan has been proposed by a prominent New York attorney. W. W. Cook, which sug gests: The organization by congress of five federal railway companies, each to cover a definite section of the country, much on the order of the 12 federal reserve banks. The companies to have the right of pur chase In the open market or by con demnation If necessary, of the storks of existing railways. They shall Is sue guaranteed stock for such amounts as may be necessary to put the systems on a working basis of the highest efficiency. The rate of Interest would be low because of the federal guarantee. The whole point of the plan Is em braced In the ability to secure all the needed money to make these pub lic functions functionate to the best public good; and to stop the con- stant warfare between Investors, operators and shippers. With an Impartial board, representing pri marily the people, these matters could be adjusted fairly and with a permanence that Is Impossible now. The plan Is being given a great deal of attention. The recent rerom- ' mendatlon of the Interstate eom . merce commission that a' federal con trol during the war might he advis able, has called It to the fore again. Fruits, eetalile and poultry pro- ducta used In large quantities home will help greatly In redm-lntc the shortage of wheat, meats, fats and other concentrated foods of which our soldiers and our allies are In need.
