Secretary McAdoo has made public the following cor- respondence: February 15, 1918. Dear Mr. President: I beg to hand you herewith sev eral memoranda and letters relating to street railway and other local public utilities furnishing light, heat, and power, which I have been asked to bring to your attention by a committee representing public utility interests. These papers indicate the existence of genuine apprehen- sion regarding the adequacy under present conditions of the services and rates of local public utilities. The view is ex- pressed that inc sed wages and the high cost of essential materials and supplies have affected them as they have affected everybody else, and that united effort will be neces- sary in order to meet alike the public requirements for srvice and the corporate financial needs upon which that service depends, Vital to Public Interests As Secretary of the Treasury I must take official notice of these matters. It is obvious that every part of our indus- trial and economic life should be maintained at its maximum strength in order that each may contribute in the fullest measure to the vigorous prosecution of the war. Our local public utilities must not be permitted to become weakened, The transportation of workers to and from our vital indus- tries and the health and comfort of our citizens in their homes are dependent upon them, and the neces: ary power to drive many of our war industries and many other indus tries essential to the war is produced by them. It may be that he and there, because of the prominence given to less important interests immediately at hand, State and Local authorities do not always appreciate the close connection be- tween the soundness and efficiency of these local utilities and the national strength and vigor, and do not resort with sufficient promptness to the call for remedial measures. In such cases I am confident that all such State and Le authorities will respond promptly to the national needs when the matter is fairly and properly brought before them. Our public service utilities are closely connected with and are an essential part of our preparations for and suc- cessful prosecution of the war, and the unfavorable tend- encies which the accompanying papers reveal may most effectively be checked, wherever they may be found to exist, and the needed relief obtained, only by prompt action on the part of the respective local authorities. I earnestly hope that you may feel justified in expressing the conviction that the vital part which the public utilities companies represent in the life and war-making energy of the Nation ought to receive fatr and just recognition by state and local authorities. Cordially yours, W. G. McADOO. The President, The White House. President Wilson’s Reply The White House, Washington, February 19, 1918. My Dear Mr. Secretary: I have examined with care the memoranda and letters which you transmitted to me with your letter of the 15th. I fully she the view you express regarding the importance of the public service utilities as a part of our national equipment, especially in war time. It is essential that these utilities should be maintained at their maximum efficiency and that everything reasonably possible should be done with that end in view. 1 hope that state and local authorities, where they have not already done so, will, when the facts are properly laid before them, respond promptly to the necessities of the situation. I shall be glad to have you communicate with the local authorities whenever the information in your possession sug- gests that such a course is desirable and in the national interest. WOODROW WILSON.
