D SE DECLARE Praises Work of Princeton Men in Peking at Alumni Smoker. Dr. Sao Ke Alfred Sze, Chinese min- ister to the United States and head of the Chinese delegation to the con- ference, spoke last night of the great optimism that China is beginning to feel over the accomplishments of the far eastern parley at a smoker given at the University Club by the Prince- ton Alumni Association in honor of the three Chinese delegates. “China is _not asking for much,” he said. “We only demand the return of those things which we have foolishly given away, or that have been taken from us, and we are now hopeful that our sovereign rights will be regained.” Praises Princeton Men. In reference to the Princeton work in Peking he said: “You know since this conference began here in Washington we have heard a great deal about that phrase, ‘special interest’ The unfortunate part_of it is that the phrase ‘special interest’ has come to mean something nister and selfish when defined in certain quarters. 3 “It is refreshing, therefore. to meet and know a group of men who have a ‘special intercsi in China, and to know that the term is understood perfectly by both Chinese and Amer- icans to mean something fine and big, the very antithesis of selfishness. When I say this I have in mind es- pecially the work that the organiza- tion of Princeton men is conducting through the branch of the Young Men's Christian Association in Peking. 1 might summarize briefly some of the outstanding accomplishments of the Princeton in Peking organization: Emphasizes Accomplishments. Provides a social center for 500 young men in Peking. “2. Develops the athletic and physi- cal life of these young men. “3. Has an enrollment of 450 stu- dents in school of commerce and finance. “4. Teaches the value of social serv- ice on the part of the young men among thelr fellows. Through its membership exer- cises a moral influence upon the life of the capital city. “When 1_mention especially the work of the Princeton in Peking organization it is not my intention to detract from similar work which other American college organizations are conducting in China. This un- selfish work, which has, been conducted in China for so many years by the alumni of the various Amercian insti- tutions of learning, has come to have avery great significance in the friend- ship which exlists between the peoples of our respective countries. “I was recently reading a magazine article which quoted a statement re- ferring to China by former President Wilson. He stated that America's chief interest in China was in the field of missionary and educational endeavor. Really it is a fine thing in these materialistic days to know that one great nation has a ‘special inter- est’ in another ané to know that that ‘special interest’ means more than land and money, more than railroads and mines, more than trade and prof- its—that it means the giving of help- ful_assistance to a weaker brother. and to know that the giving of these things benefits both the giver and receiver.” Other Speakers. Dr. Wellington Koo and Dr. Wang also spoke on the Chinese questions in the conference. Paul S. Reinsch. for- mer United States minister to China, told of the work of American univer- sities among the Chinese. Olin Wana- maker, formerly connected with the Princeton school in Peking. spoke of the immediate need of enlarging the institution. Justice Mahlon Pitney of the Supreme Court presided at the meeting, at which nearly two hundred former Princetonians were present. EARLY RULE SOUGHT ON RAILWAY RATES Interstate Commission Told Constant Agitation Hurts Business. Constant agitation of the railroad rate subject has had a harmful effect on business in general and a tendency to retard traffic, Thomas C. Powell, vice president of the Erie railroad, said today while testifying at the con- tinuation of the Interstate Commerce Commission investigation into trans- portation rates. He asked the com- mission to hasten the investigation, in_order, he said, that its conclusion might decrease the disturbance and relieve the expectation of generally lower rates. Carriers still seeking wage reduc- tions, Mr. Powell said, have clearly indicated their determination to pass these on in the form of lower rates to shippers if they can be attained. Dereases in freight rates might take place “in the not far distant future.” but the railroad earnings of the past and present have failed to justify any general decreases of rates, George M. Shriver, vice president of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad, told the com- mission vesterday. Mr. Shriver, as chairman of the accounting commit- tees of the Railway Executives’ As- sociation, spoke for all the roads. Benjamin_ Campbell, vice president of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford, and Mr. Powell also testified. Earnings of class 1 roads in the twelve months ending September 30, 1921, Mr. Shriver said, amounted to $542,409.000, which he declared to be but 2.75 per cent on estimated prop- erty investment, as compared with the transportation act clause pro- viding for a 6 per cent return. In spite of lower costs for wages and ma- terials, he continued, roads in the eastern district, if given during the next year the same traffic they en- joyed during the last, would earn but 5.4 per cent. Cross-examination of the three wit- nesses was deferred under the com- mission’s ruling until January, when States. municipalities and shippers will be heard. REPORTS TO LEAGUE.
