Baldwin Would First Reduce Operation Costs, He Tells Fuel Men. By the Associated Press. s CHICAGO, May 22.—Rates should not be reduced until more economic operation of the railroads has been effected, L. W. Baldwin, vice presi- dent of the Illinois Central railway, said today in an address before the International Railway Fuel Associa- tion. He urged more conservation of coal. “The public has the right to demand of the railroads, as public servants, that they exhaust their best efforts to furnish the most economical service possible,” he said. “That does not mean that they should neglect the properties in order to reduce rates, but it does mean that they should be constantly on the alert to stop all waste and leaks in the business of performing transportation serv- ice. “For some time there has been agi- It is important that rates should not be reduced until , the spread between operation revenue and operation ex- pense is reduced “We are seeking to do that by oper- ating economically. We must take the public into our confidence and tell them what we are doing to con- serve In an effort to reduce rates. “We are passing through a test period. The future of the railroads for a long time will be determined by the actions of the next few months.” FREIGHT RATE CUT SEEN. Administration Believed to Have Adopted Definite Policy. President Harding's request to the leading railroad executives to lower transportation charges by voluntary action, without waiting for the Inter- state Commerce Commission to act, is looked upon today in varlous quar- ters as indicating the adoption by the administration of a policy calling for a general lowering of railroad freight rates. Co-operation of railroad organiza- tions to obtain this desired result was promised Prestdent Harding by the ilroad executives when they met ith him at dinner at the White House Saturday night. “The railroad executives voiced their unanimous de- sire to make the fullest contribution restore and maintain according' to a state- ment issued at the White House, at the conclusion of the conference. The executives voted to name a commit- tes to recommend what action could bo taken in line with Mr. Harding's suggestion. Tt fwas set forth also in the state- ment that the railroads were directly asked to bring about lower frelght charges on a plan first publicly out- \ined in a study which Secretary Hoover of the Department of Com- merce presented to the Interstate Commerce Commission during _the general rate investigation'last win- fer. This involves cutting freights on coal, steel, corn products, minerals and other heavy low-priced basic raw materials. It also InVolves a policy of letting freights on high-grade, high-priced finished materials, remain at practically their present levels, and probably leaving passenger fares un- touched, too. —_——— FOUR HURT AS AUTO FALLS An automobile’s tumble from Con- duit road, to a wayside gully. ten feet below the road grade between Cabin John bridge and Great Falls, Va., yesterday caused injuries to the four occupants, one of whom sus- tained a possible fracture of the skull.

Tke others in- jured were: Merrill Rudy and Perry May of Takoma Park, Md., and Beulah Ricketts of 1402 L street.

Useful Result Came From Sessions. BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Former French High Commissioner to the United States. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, May 20.—One supreme conclusion evolves from the finish of the Genoa conference, namely, that all of the European powers. with their hundreds of delegates and ex- perts, conferred from April 10 to May 19 without bringing about a sin- gle usfeul ‘result. Impartial judges| will agree that this Is so. There is room for reflection in this. There was to be a great concerted effort toward economic reconstruc- tion. It completely failed. What can one say except that the method was wrong? 1If success now Is desired then other methods must be found. Lloyd George conceived the Genoa plan at the end of 1921 along the lines suggested by Keynes, which he had scornfully flouted in 1919, but has since adopted. He offered this plan as an economic one, although it was essentially political. He took for granted that revision of the peace treaty was a prerequisite to eco- nomio reconstruction. Starting from this hypothesis Lloyd George has struggled six_weeks, with failure as the result. How can this surprise you when you reflect that there half a dozen states in central and east- ern Europe created by war and the peace treaties which never will agree to take any such step Destructive Work Fatal. Thus we may conclude that if we desire to do any constructive work | economically it will be better not to, begin with destructive work. Keynes| and Lloyd George's thesis was that for economic reasons it was necessary to modify Europe's political charter, especially 8o far as it concerns east-! ern frontlers. The result belies this. The soviets will not renounce com- munism nor propaganda; the Eu- ropean states refuse to allow their frontiers to be brought into the dis- cussion. Through failure to recog nize these plain facts all hatreds have been sharpened rather than appeased. Isn't it time now to try the contrary system. recognizing that the war-born frontiers are the expression of na- tionalist ambitions, and to start with this fact when working for eco- nomic reconstruction? With the problem thus clarified we can see that the Anglo- large share of resopnsibilit economic disorder for which Dblame the treaties. If. when armistice came, the English Americans hag not been 30 quick to: bréak the economic ties entered into during the war, Europe -~ would not suffer so bitterly today. Ruined Eu- rope is told to unite and sacrifice in- dividual Interest to the common wel- fare. When, early in 1919, the United States and England forced dissolu- tion of the interallied economic or- ganism, refusing aid toward avoiding or limiting the exchange crisis; when the English mines, because of high export prices, lost their foreign mar- kets; when Anglo-Saxon countries, creditors of the whole world, under- took to oblige debtors to pay with- out taking jnto consideration” unpaid sums owed these countries by others, | it hardly can be said that London and Washington were inspired by a desire for solidarity and reconstruc- tion.

By the Associated Press, MOSCOW, May 22—New decrees, Which government leaders say are designed to encourage the independ- ent capitalistic reconstruction of Russia on Russia’s terms, have been promulgated coincidentally with the close of the Genoa conference. The council of commissars has an- nounced removal of the state monop- oly on trade In agricultural imple- ments and seeds, permitting private persons to buy abroad through the commissariat of forelgn trade. Mean- while the central exécutive commit- tee, which is now in session, passing bills legalizing private property to a certain degree, has also decided to | Permit inheritance by husbands or wives and direct descendants of a maximum of 5,000 gold rubles.

The municipality of Petrograd has decided to hand over to the owners for life possession all the smaller houses, the maximum being seven apartments. Similar returns of houses are being made in some of the provinces, and the Ukraine {s turning back flour mills of small capacity to the owners. The newspapers echo the govern- ment view, reiterated throughout the progress of the Genoa conference, that Russia did not expect any ma- terfal ald from the allied govern- ments. “The soviet delegation is returning home strengthened.
