News Review 0el Current Events t Wol:ld Over Ea:-." ',lan Foresees Government Ownership and Operation of Railways---Progress of President's Money Bill-- American Recognition for Mendieta. By EDWARD tlEN the railroad problem of the United States is solved, it will be found that the solution is govern- ment ownership and operation, in the opinion of 3oseph ]3. Eastman, federal co- ordinator of t r a n s- portation. The conclu- sion is set forth in his first report, made to the Interstate Com- merce commission and transmitted to Presi- dent Roosevelt, vice President Garner and Speaker Rainey. Mr. Eastman says the so- J. B. Eastman lutlon he foresees would not be inconsistent with our theory of government. Explaining that when governments acquire private property they normally pay more than it is worth° Mr. East- man reaches the conclusion that the remedy should not be applied to rail- "roads now because the country is not "financially in a condition to stand the strain of an acquisition of these great properties." The co-ordinator, having sot up what he wishes to be the objective of future national railroad policy, then proceeds to make recommendations within the limits of existing laws. He is decidedly skeptical of the Prince plan for consolidation of the roads, for his assistant, William B. Poland, has made studies that show the economies under this scheme would be less than one-third of the original estimates. Most significant of the recommenda- tions on consolidations is that pro- posais for compulsory consolidations should be given a trial provided that the commission and the co-ordinator find the proposed mergers to be In the public Interest. Mr. Eastman throws the weight of his approval behind a method of compulsory consolidation through exchange of securities with- out the use of cash. Execution of such a method, which the co-ordinator's legal assistant. Leslie Craven, believes can be accomplished, would accelerate the merging of eastern railroads into the four systems previously agreed upon. Mr. Eastman says that reorganiza- tion of railroads now bankrupt "should be effected as speedily as practicable. and In a manner which will result in a very material reduction in fixed charges," He calls attention to the fact that some of the most success- ful reorganizations in raLt¢oad history took place in the midst Of flnanclai de- pressions. Wall Street theory has been that reorganizatlus should bd postponed as long as possible. Many of the railroads' vital prob- lems can be dealt with adequately by the carriers themselves, but "there is as yet insufficient organization and leadership in the industry for effec- tive co-operation tn such undertak- ings." It is quite possible. Mr. East- man believes, that a study of these problems "will Dave the way to a much larger use of motor vehicles as an ad- Junct to railroad service, and to a re- vamping and simplification of the frelght-rate structure." In advancing government ownership as the specific remedy for the Indus- try, the co-ordinator notes the adverse effects of the competition of the rail- roads with each other, and of their Inability to co-operate effectively in: matters of common concern This l: illustrated in the difficulty with which standards of equipment and of sup- plies have been adopted. Difficulties in action toward the radJustment of rates also is cited, especially as related to meeting the threat from other me- diums of transportation. "The competition of these new agen- cies also makes the preservation of in- tense competition between railroads a much less Important thing from the public point of view than It once was." C .ALOS MEXDIETA Is quite satis- factory to the United States as president of Cuba in view of the fact that he has the backing of a majority of the Cuban people and apparently ts ca- pable of restoring or- der In the island. So President Roosevelt informed the diplo- matic envoys of the other Latin-American countries whom he had summoned to the White House. The President virtually in- vited the other na- tions to take the same Carloe course but made it Mendieta clear that his mind was made ul) any- way. Secretary Hull after leaving the White House, said Colombia and Mex- Ico already had recognised the Men- dicta regime and Chile was about ready to do so. When Mr. Hull was on way home from South America he was met at Key West bY Jefferson Caffery, the President's personal rep- resentative In Cuba. and fully informed on conditions and prospects in the Is- ]and. . Caffery is scheduled to be made ambassador to Cuba. Presldent Roosevelt plans to do sev- eral favors to Cuba that should make Mendleta solid with hls people. The wips in Cuban waters will be with- drawn. The Platt amendment to the t W. PICKARD Cuban constitution" permitting the United States to intervene in Cuban affairs to maintain law and order will be junked. And congress will be asked to give Cuba a big preferential reduc- tlon in the American sugar tariff. Sugar raising is the island's chief In- dustry and for five years it has been in a severe slump, and the resulting de- pression has caused much of the po- litlcal disturbance. Havana was ubilant over the news of President Roosevelt's action. "Recognition is the greatest gift the United States can grant Cuba." commented President Carlos Mendleta. "It means that political stabilization in the island will be furthered and that a real start can be made with the co-operation of the United States toward economic rehabilitation. "PreSident Roosevelt may rest as- sured that I have personally assumed responsibility for foreign life and prop- erty, especially America's $2,000,000,- 000 investments here." ECRDTARY HULL, on his arrival in Washington, made a personal report to the President on the Pan- American conference in Montevideo ; and in a statement to the press he said: "Confidence bern of the feeling that the United States, instead of be- ing an arrogant or indifferent blg brother, is sincerely eager for the role of equal partnership with the other Americas has resulted in a surge of good will toward the United States." The press In the leading South American cities is unanimous in the opinion that Mr. Hull hu brought about a great betterment in the rela- tions between Latin America and the United States and that there will be a decided increase of inter-American trade. LANS of the American Legion to ask congress for more liberal treat- meat of veterans have stirred up a row in Washington. The Legion is urging enactment of a four-point program to cost $80,000,000 a year. Gen" Frank T. Hines, administrator of the veterans' bu- rean" thought this fig- ure was too low. esti- mating the cost at a considerably higher total The Legion representatives d e- clared the government estimates were erro- Gee. F. 1". neous and by infer- Hines ence accused General Hines of ul- terior motives and lack of Integrity. In a letter to Edward A. Hayes, com- mander of the Legion, HInes de- nounced the criticism of his estimates as wholly uncalled for and said the Legion's own rehabilitation committee had admitted they were more nearly correct than its own estimates. Meanwhile the President had an- nounced new modifications of his ex- ecutive regulations concerning pay- menta to disabled war veterans, the changes adding more than $21,000,000 annually. There were intimations at the V'hite House that Mr. Roosevelt would seek to persuade the Demo- crats In congress not to go beyond this liberalization. RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S money bill went through the house with a rush, the vote being 360 to 40. Sixty- eight Republicans Joined the obedient Democrats in supporting the measure. James R Clajborne of Missouri and George B. Terreil of Texas were the only Democrats recorded in the neg- ative. The senate received the bill and re- ferred it to the banking and currency committee, which held a hearing that was lively while it lasted. Prof. George Warren, author of the dollar depreciation and gold purchase pro- gram, explained to the committee the theory of commodity price regulation by manipulation of the currency. Then, taking up consideration of the measure, the committee heard the vig- orous objections of Senators Glass. Gore and McAdoo to several features of the bill notably the proposed suix- ure of the federal reserve bank gold, and the granting of unlimited financial power to the secretary of the treasury. It was confidently predicted by the admInistration leaders that the bill would be Put through the senate un- changed, but stubborn fights over vari- ous proposed amendments were cer- tain. The vote on a plan to limit the use of the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund was expected to be close. Advo- cates of the remonetition of silver, who are fairly numerous in the sen- ate, prepared a compromise silver plan to be offered as an amendment to the devaluation measure. AbyT recovery outlays can be end- June 30, 1935, ia the belief of the President, and he gave expression to this when he announced his ap- proval of the bill extending the life of the Iteconstruction Finance corpora- tion for another year.

Couple of weeks ago, had an interesting little four day stay in Riverside, Cal. thats the home of the famous Mission Inn, the most unique hotel in America. Its a mon- estary, a mission, a fine hotel, a home, a boarding house, a museum, an art gal- cry, an aviators' shrine. It combines the best features of all the above. If you are ever in any part of Cal dent miss the famous Mission Inn at River- side. We were out there filming the trot- ting racing scenes in David Harum. They have a great old Fair Grounds. We had about 150 people from Holly. wood out there, then used a couple of hundred extras from there, and it was like a picnic. We had some real old race horse authorities, men who had been Judges and starters on these tracks for years and years. Well sir there, is nothing any more interesting to talk to than an old horseman, and there is nothing any older than a trot- ting horseman. I never saw a man In the trotting horse business under 80. Now in our scenario, or script, as those things are called after Rob Wag- net's famous script, why it had the race being for the best two out of three heats. That means to any of you that dent know harness racing, that there is one race after another till one horse wins two. If he wins the first two its all over, but he must win two. So we were to have it that way, but these old fellows, knowing the time the story was laid, 1893, informed us that in those days it was three out of five heats. One horse had to win three races in the afternoon to win the prize. Well they said they had seen as many as ten heats, before one horse was able to wm three. They claimed that in most cases a pacing horse was a couple of seconds faster than a trotter, although that when two record holders met, the trc. ter bep_*, the pacer. There are many cases where a horse has been changed in a season from a trotter to a pacer. The pacer's power and strength and drive come from his hind legs (like a runner) but a trotters come from his front legs. His is hy reaching, and not by pushing. There are two great strains the Hamlltonians and the Morgans. They are pedigreed and are called standard bred horses. Its a peculiar cross from a thoroughbred with a mixed cold blood. They say a trotter or pacer is more intelligent than a runner. He has to know more; he evidently must have more endurance, for no runner could run ten heats in an afternoon. We are drivIng the first make of low wheel aulkys. They come in '92. Still they are much higher than the low ones they use today. I want to ted you its quite a trick, try- lng to drive one of those with pretty fast horses too, and en drivers on the track at once. There is always a hole big enough for :he horse but how about the buggy he is towing talong! The only thing I had to recommend me was that I looked as old as a driver. I used to be a pretty good Just old com- mon horse driver as a young fellow back home, but I never made the tracks. My father was the best driver I ever saw, though. Well be hed quite a little training in his young days. He used to haul freight from St. Joe. Mis. sourL to, Dallas, Texas. Lord, his son hasent got hardly enough endurance to make the same trip in a plane, but I have seen Papa hitch em up when there was really wild and go where he wanted to with 'en not where they wanted too. So if I show any driving ability in this my rst real effort, it is inherited. Its not from hard work, perseverance, and taking advantage of my opportunities, (as the American Magazine used to ad- vise us). By the way this depression tad the fall of the hit man has kinder knocked the props out of all those sac- cess storys we used to get fed av on. This is Just an age of being a good Democrat and holding an office. Thats all there is to success now. @ 1934. M¢:NI4t ayzatM¢, lcr.

The 1922 cent is the rrest of all modern ones. It sells at a premium of a few cents and is seldom to be seen in circulation. Only a few more than 90,000 of that date were issued. Lesson in Justice.Holmet Finding New 'F00ring Line' "I always thought," said Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, when he was eighty years old, "that when I got to be four-score I could wrap up my life in a scroll, tie a pink ribbon around it, put it away in a drawer, and go around doing the things 1 wanted to do. But I learned that when you have taken one trench there is always a new firing llne be- yond." That was when he was elghty-- deciding that there was always a new firing line I So we might guess--- if so many Washington correspond- ents had not said it of him---that at eighty and past eighty, this man was interesting, he was living to the full- est extent, and he was one of the few of whom people would hazard the opinion that he was happy. And when, near ninety-one, he finally re- tired from the Supreme court bench, what he did to remain happy was probably to Live as nearly as pos- sible the same busy kind of life he had always led. :No one pitied Justice Holmes for not being able to retire, and, at eighty, "do the things I wanted to do." The things we have always wanted to do are very likely, with most of us, to be food for Just s summer, and to pall before a vaca. tion time is over. What w all want to do is to live fully as long as we live, to be doers and givers as long as we llve, to live with zest for our- selves and interest for others. That was one advantage that men, in past generations, had over women. They stayed interesting longer, they stayed young longer, because they stayed longer, as a rule. in a vortex of activity. They were not, in middle life, like most of their wives, left BLAMING AMERICA I don't know what 'stenographer' means. Why can't we have Eng- llsbT' cried out the indignant Justice Bennett in the Chancery court in London. The word occurred in an affidavit. One barrister, in answer, thought it meant "typist," another "a short- bahd writer." A third offered that the affidavit was made by a man who had Just come from America. Yet the word is in the Universal Dictionary of the English language (London) and the New English Dic- tionary (London).--Ltterary Digest. high and dry with the privilege of deciding what it was they wanted to do. There were always too many things which they were called upon to do. And that Is the great boon for women in this day and age--the opportunity for interests and activi- ties which do not end when their children grow up, Interests and even work outside the home which give them into the later years what the French call "raison d'etre"a reason for being. Rather we should say of these activities that what they give us is a reason for being busy, for being necessary, for being important, for being Interested in every day, and therefore for being interesting---and happy. Not least among the good wishes I extend to my readers for the coming year is: May you continue to find "always a new firing line" ahead l Bell yndlcate.WNU Service. Why Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative Hospitals and doctors have always tmedliquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives inliquid form, Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can be con- trolled. It forms no habit; you need not take a double dose' a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right liquid laxative brings a perfect movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after. The wrong cathartm may keep you constipated as long as you keep on using it! And the hbitual use of irritating salts, or of powerful dru in the highly concentrated form o! pills and tablets may prove injurious. A week with a prooerlyprepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A few weeks' time, and your bowels can be "as regular as clockwork.". Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use.lt makes an meat amity laxative; effective for all ages, and may be given th8 youngest child.
