C. Harris, Adjutant General, permitted to confuse and discourage New Yorkers deeply interested imthe parade by telegraphing to Martin Conboy, Director of Selective Bérvice Boards in this city: | “The 77th Division will not be held for parade as a division, ) = but units may parade as they arrive. unit will be held to await the arrival of another where serious delay or congestion will be involved thereby.” If the War Department means to arrange for the 77th to come back in a single convoy and be paraded as a whole, the Department owes New York not only a definite statement of this purpose but capes! expression and action from all officials and Army officers rned. | New York’s demand for a parade of the 77th is based on the it of these returning soldiers and their families and friends to a Gay of welcome worthy of the city upon which they have brought r. It is based on even more. As Charles F. Hughes, presiding at a meeting of Selective Service Boards called to urge the parade, declared: “The 77th Divison must parade. No matter what It cost, the expenditure of money to have the 77th go through the streets of the City of New York would be one of the wisest things pos- sible at this time.” Wise for its powerful A'mericanizing influence upon hundreds of thousands of foreign-born in this city from among whom some 14,000 ithe 77th were drawn. | Wise for its discouraging effect upon incipient Bolshevism in After a great struggle victory is entitled to its marchings, its nt Secretary of War Crowell that} No regiment or similar | L | be| begrudged. | Least of al] should such cost be counted too closely in a country it has need of making aliens into citizens by every means and calculated to touch their imagination and stir their emotions. New York’s insistence upon its right to a parade of the 77th jion—not a piecemeal parade, but a parade of the division as a whole—is backed by the strongest argumente for broader nationali- Sation, loyalty and citizenship as foundations of a prosperous peace. | There should be no doubt or uncertainty about parading the 7th in New York. It is for the War Department to give this city a plain and formal Qsgurance that the parade will be held and for all Army officers to Bive their orders and my cir announcements from now on accord- - ingly. * UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL. OVERNMENT officials, bankers and railroad executives are scheduled to get together in Washington to-day to discuss ay ways and means to meet the financial requirements of the wailroads under Federal control. J These requirements, up to and including Potal $500,000,000, According to the Times: ¥ “The cebts which the Railroad Administration {. rolling up are accumulating with alarming speed. In February there was a deficit on operation of about $37,000,000, substantially the same as the deficit of January, and at the present time com- petent critics fail to see hope for much improvement in the near future unless traffic should expand at a rate not con- sidered possible.” Bracket with this the $4,186,000 decrease in operating income for twelve months shown by the Western Union’s report to the Inter. state Commerce Commission and the combination makes a fine testimonial for Government operation. 7 “We are unqualifiedly opposed to Government ownership, § which is absolutely un-American and which is likely to be creative of conditions directly antagonistic to the best interests of the farmers, the shippers, the railroads of the country; it would be wasteful and extravagant without increase in effl- ciency, improvement in service or economy in operation; it would simply mean increased taxation and a creation of condi- tions which would make for a political system entirely antag- y onistic to our free institutions, i “We condemn the taking over of the telephones, telegraph and cables by the Government and recommend the restoration to their owners at once.” The year is likely to eee increasing numbers of resolutions like the above which were adopted by the New York State Grange, Whe farmer has mighty little to complain of in the | Government has treated him of late as an independent producer, | Nevertheless Government ownership of utilities fills him with a distrust that even a Burlesonized postal service fails to mitigate.
