NEW YORK, Jan 27.-- Railroads
will continue to bear the onus of
business in general, so long as busi-
nene depression continues. Walker
D. Hines, farmer director -general
of railroads, declared today in an
address before the bond club But
the problem will be solved, he said,
and not by government ownership.
"My opinion, before I went into
the railroad administration, all the
time I was there and after I left
there," he said. "was concerned—
fof the railroads, for the employers,
for the public and for the govern-
ment."
Often in the future, he continued,
the question of government owner-
ship will be agitated because the
railroads will be blamed, largely,
for the existing husiness conditions.
Tn time of great difficulty and
discourgement and suffering” he
explained, "It is inevitable that the
discontent shall be directed against
some object that is easy to see Now
the railroads are easy to see."
As business develops, he declared,
railroad rates must be adjusted. He
ssld. however, that "there will be
considerable uncertainty as to the
rate situation for a good wRile to
come," a factor which promises tn
be “an embarrassing circumstance
with respect to business."
“Tun have bee reduced ao that
the door at opportunity has been
reopened so thiat youth and ambi-
tion may agata compete with ea-
tabllghed industrles without betne
taxa to death
“The temporary law restrieting
immtgration has relieved pressure
trom without when there was al-
ready tear of unemployment with-
in and thus protected the working
man,"
Makes Further Claims.
Mr. Coouldge cited the good roads
appropriations, the maternity bill
and other bills passea by congress
Referring to the farmers, he
pointed out loan, to catue ratsers
and the work of the farm loan board
"It is 'he pollcy of the party in
power to preserve the American
market for American agriculture
and to assist th. far me r—by in-
creasing the ptosperity of his cus-
tomera." he said. He declared that
the administration above everything
elec was working for the relief of
war veterans and their dependent
rotative.. The new government de-
partment combining .11 government
aotivities for soldier relief had done
gi ea t work, he said, and now was
getting into Ita real stride.
He concluded by raying that the
arm. conference had resulted in
outlawing of the newly ereatedbar
barues of war, banished armament
from the sea and substituted law
for might and conference for co-
ercion.

that la. a male chicken has

nie, in the breeding of a Barred

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan. 27—
The accomplishment of the present
administration is wiping away the
tearms of the world is the healing
of the nation. Vice President Calvin
Coolidge said tonight in an address
before the Indiana Republican Edi-
torial association. Mr. Coolidge said
that the republican party assumed
control at a time “when the nation
had been without responsible lead-
ership for a year and a half." and
that the party had "through the
inspiration of a great president,
made an honorable record of
achievement which no sophistry
could misinterpret, no misrepresen-
tation could obscure and which was
bringing peace and tranquility to
the nation."
“Sound Cabinet Members.'*
Declaring that the first great act
of the present administration was
the selection of cabinet officers,
"Hound and seasoned in public serv-
ice.” Mr. Coolidge reviewed the ac-
tivities of the president and the
congress since last March.
Congress, convening in April, di-
rected its first steps to ending the
state of war," said Mr. Coolidge.
“It did this, forming a treaty of
peace with Germany which was an
American treaty abandoning no one.
but made to protect American in-
terests. .
“The long pendent treaty with
Colombia was ratified, an example
of justice, running into generosity,
which no doubt will be for our fi-
nancial advantage.
"The present administration of-
fered Mexico a treaty which recog-
nised that government and at the
same time protected our interests.
This treaty has not been accepted
Notwithstanding the lack of any
standards on the part of the Rus-
sian soviet government, the suf-
fering of the Russian people so
touched this country that $20,000,-
000 was appropriated for relief. As
a result of our dealings with for-
eign countries, even those which
we have not recognized, every na-
tion in the world knows where our
government stands and we are re-
established in th* respect of the
world.
