PEOPLE SHOULD DECIDE THE RAILROAD QUESTION McAdoo Says Tliey Have ltight to Aec ept or Kejert tioverninent Ownership. Vou* Vnrl/ I Inn 1Q Xlfillt - ^ ..v.. i n, ?/c\ . i > > II II it 111 ll. McAdoo, In an address on the eve of his resignation as secretary of the treasury, predicted the success of the fifth Liberty loan and declared that it was for a majority of the people to decide whether the nation's railroads should be privately or government owned. Speaking at a "union peace jubilee" held by the congregations of six leading Kplscopal churches, Mr McAdoo asserted that in the first four loans the people of America had displayed "a spiritual, almost religious interest." "American spirit aroused by the fight for freedom," he declared, "will make the new loan a success if the subscribers have to wear tattered clothes in order that the fighting boys may be brought home and properly cared for." Of the railroads, Mr. MoAdoo said: "Taking over the railroads was a necessity. I did not care whether the government or private parties owned them, but when Uncle Sam needed those railroads for the transportation of troops and supplies everything had to give way and private owners had for the time heinu at least to step aside." "The question of governmental or private ownership is a debatable one and hardly suited to a church discussion. What the majority of the American people will say on the subject must be accepted as being right. The majority said they wanted a Republican congress and they got It. but still I say that the American iitm|up 11 ?i?n is iikhi, even lr 1 am a Democrat." Mr. McAdoo asserted that one "of several things which ntand out conspicuously In my Tiew of how we won the war Is the wonderful manner in which cohealveness of the people was proven by their intelligence, courage and vision of the future." "If any of the crowned heads of Europe could witness one of our political campaigns, see how we fight imong ourselves and then realize that all that fighting quality Is turned Into one unit when anyortfc on the outside Interferes with 11$, there would have been no attempt to bully the United States." he continued. After praising the selective service act. Mr. McAdoo discussed the toldier* and sailers Insurance hill, laying that the Insurance money will >e paid direct to the beneficiaries and 'there will be no necessity for gong to congress, hat in hand, begging 'or charity." "Every Justice will be done every leserving soldier and sailor," he adled. "and he will be given generous reatment by a grateful nation. vhlch doe* not Intend to let It* >rave lade or their dependent* aufer." THE LANCASTER N NORTH LANCASTER + * + 1 Lancaster, S. C., R.
