KANSAS CITY, Kans., Nov. 27.— The federal government owes the/ railroads $1,000,000,000 “if as United | States Ser the government guarantees to the | railroads five and three quarters per cent net earnings on a valuation of approximately nineteen billion dollars,” George G. Boardman tary of the Western Railway Pres!- dents’ Committee on Public Rela- tions, declared in an address be fore the Kansas State Bar associa- tion here today. Mr. Boardman asked Senator Brookhart whether he as a United States Senator “sworn to uphold the laws of the United Sts vill In-| troduce a bill in the senate and vote for its passage, which will pro- vide for payment by the govern- ment to the railroads of over one billion dollars which the govern me records show the railways were sh t in earning the fair re turn fixed by the government dur- ing the past three years.” He said that “Senators LaFollette, Brookhart and others are seeking to have the railroad valuation reduced by er t to $13,000,000, the effect of which would reduce by that percentage the net operating incoms which the rafiroads would be allowed to earn, and force most of them into the hands of receivers, thus hardening the arteries of commerce and 3 ally increasing the cost of living us al Sik SUSPEETS.

MASON (Written for the United Press) No 2 United devastated area of France is now nearing restoration. Within two years the last of the re- construction work will have been completed, with Germany still owing most of the bill for it. The French government has been paying for the remaking of the de Stroyed area by loans floated in France and chargeable to Germany's reparations account in the French budget. To the beginning of the present year the French govern-} ment's own estimate of the amount spent on reparations was about $2,- 700,000,000, the future expense to complete the work being placed at $2,000,000,000 more. France has been able to collect only @ lttte over 20 per cent of these amounts as yet from Germany. Thera are extraordinary variations in the total sums claimed to have been paid by the Germans to the allies. The minimum estimate is $2,000,- 000,000 and the maximum $14,000, 000,000. The difference 1s accounted for by the difficulty of estimating the value of reparations in kin in- stead of in cash. A fair compromise ts $6,000,000,000 of which France’s share {s 52 per cent, or $3,120,000,000. But France has paid out in war pensions since the ending of the conflict about $2,000,000,000, which is charged to the reparations account. This leaves a balance of a little over a billion dollars representing Germany's con- tribution to the cost of restoring devastated France. There is no pos- sibility of the reparations payments to France for the next two years| doing more than cover the pensions expenditures. Therefore, by the time the devastated area ts entirely re habilitated France will have spent $4,700,000,000 on the work and will have got back from the Germans only $1,120,000,000. Were it not for this dead weight carried in the French budget the French minister of finance would be able to present a full balance of ac- counts, with s'ightly increased tax- ation. As it is, however, the sum is so gigantic and Germany's eyas fons have been so successful that the French budget {s seriously dls- turbed, with no way of establishing a balance in sight. Source of New Wealth Nevertheless, the restoration of the devastated regions, though paid for by French loans instead of by reparations, is in itself a source o new wealth to France. With the area unable t sed for produc tive purposes, as end of the war, I was left at the ani seriously depleted, because the war s wen |vas fought throughout the most prosperous part of the republle. Now, however, this destroyed source of French productivity is re- turning to normal. The people not only are once more able to support the elves, but can pay their share of taxation and contribute Increas- ingly their strength for France's eventful financial recovery. Within two years, therefore, the situation in France will be normal for the first time since the ending of the war in so far as the full pro- ductivity of all the people is con- cerned. New high records of production too will be made because much of the machinery now being installed in the devastated area is modern and replaces antiquated instruments. Even, therefore, with the reparations problem unsettled, France is going ahead and is far from being in a desperate economic plight. France is saving herself.
