Telpbams, 106 —_————— Norwich, Tuesday, April 36, 1931, CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING APRIL 23rd, RAILROAD RATES. Though no action has been taken werd comes to the effect that the prestdent and his cabinet are in favor of & redue. tion in freight rates. One or twe of the cabinet have said that reductiens were coming, but just how it is poseible to bring it about or what action is com- templated has not been disclosed. That there is a feeling throughout the country that rate reductions would de an advisable thing has been made phan. There is & demand for it quite the same as there has been for a cutting of the cost of living, but it is realised that the Increase in railroad rates was gramted solely for the purpose.of doing justios to the roads and permitting them to get the revenue required to meet the jn- creased expenses that wers foreed upon them. Even with the higher freight fates it has betn impossidle for the rall. . Toads in many instances to get shough return o meet their expenditures. Busi- Bess conditions experienced a slump sbout the time freight rates were in- treased and less goods have been ship- ped so that tie roads have net really sbtained the benefit from the higher rates that was anticipatsd. It ean da maintained that the establishing of lower rates would be an incentive to more business. Possibly more freight weuld be transported by the roads dut it is a juestion whether a’ sufficient amount in addition to what is being carried new " would be handled to make up for the re- fuction in rates. Certainly If the rosds :annot make ends meet now they eannet de expected to under conditions that do sot bring in more revenue unless th ks rellef extended in the way of curmais #d_expenditures. > In view of the statement which 18 at« tributed to the cabihet meeting, or ay the result of it, it will be interesting ts tote what course is adopted to bring sbout the desired end. Certaimly the public would welcome the rednctisns that would be reflected In lowered prices and with reductions being made in other ways there seems to be no reason why a seal- Ing down all along the line should net lake place concerning the rallroads.

It will be remenbered that it sas becanse his name did not appear in the list that was rabmize: to the last cangress that action was held up at that time. It was how- sver, because the man who stood at the 1op of the list was discriminated against ihat the confirmation was blocked an 80w that his name has been included ta the list those who are political symea- thizers with the late administration are doing their part in trying to obstruet #hat all Pow England believed should bave beenfdone long ago. The situation’ seems to be that inas- much as it was impossible for Secretary Baker to put through his plan of exolud. ing Edwards last year, the demecrats are determined to do their utmost to prevent his nomination now. Unfortu- nate it is not possible to include General Bundy’s name along with all the oth- ers. Much has been said because the name of General Bundy who. proved to be a fearless leader in France, was re- moved from the list, but it was neses- #ary in order to include General Edwards to whom it iy believed an injustice woyld be done in jumping others over him at this time. Standing at the head of the list of brigadiers and deserving of pro- motion for his leadership of the Yankee diyision in France it is but proper that he should be promoted at this time Tt need cast no reflection upon General Bun- dy. As has been said it is umfortunate that he could not be given higher rank now, but with a certafn number of va. cancies to ll there is a limit to the num. ber to be promoted. However, there are good reasons for feeling -that General Bundy wWl not be overlooked when the chance préeents itself to raise him to the higher office as an abtknowledgment of his services and ability. Both deserv. ing the rank both are certain to get it thotgh both cannot get it at the same time and the situation is riot Hkely te B¢ helped by the opposition to Edwar€s, FIGHTING THE SOVIETS.
