of the situation, with regard to the famine la Russia and tb responsibilities and obligations which' relief organisations asaume carrying aid to the stricken people. The. whole situation Is eo clearly expressed In his three conditions that I do not hesitate to repeat them, 1. That the famine ta Ruaaia ta of an extent entirely beyond ths resources, of rall th available private charities of the world, especially la thee times" of economle hardship. X.

ICven wer fund avallabl for rood, th relief of Ruaaia Involves the rehabilitation of transportation, of agrlculturo and of Industry, necessitating measures again 'beyond the reach of charity. t. Thht the causes of tha famine Are" such thsf, they will recurrent vry year until tbr 1 much for thr change In th economic system of Russia. Briefly the charity, that the world can dispense toward the Russians can and should only.be, to the extent of enabling them to. help them selves.

Many are claimed for. th famfno and diatress which exist In Ruaaia today, and in Ail probability All of. them played a part, and this may be, aald regardless of polIUcal creeds or belief. The most Important economic link in the. life of any conn try which, has.

reached the status, of economlo interdependence of com munltles la th transportation systam. Wemust definitely realise that without transportation the charity of the world may be cast on the ahorea of Russia and her people will not be one whit better ofT The rehabilitation of agriculture, of Jnduatry and of every phase of th" life of the country is dependent upon transportation, Ths rebsbUitatlos of the transportation system Is beyond the power of charity to accomplish; We have heard without end tales of the enormoua natural resources' and wealth. of Russia, of. the fact thAt despite her hugaiobligatiooa a fw good crops will again plac her on a com parattvMy economic basis. "of her at atocka of materials which can' be developed aad exported, of ber olL ber coaT, her platinum and gold, but none of these things can be made available without a tranaporta tlon Therefore, beyond doubt, the rehabilitation of this transportation system Is the first snd most Important consideration of any help to be given tu Russia Even the relief bf Mr.

Hoover's organization can not be made available, except within very small limits, without it, "It is necessary, therefore, that the rehabilitation of. transportation must keep pace with the relief work as It goes for unit on February 1. two moatha ahead of Ihe premise.

Starting April A. lttft, with no street railway organisation at all, the board' of' street railway commissioners has to less than a year accomplished the followlnr stupendous tasks: Built up a complete street railway organisation, in ten months; secured wire, ties and all necessary, rnaterlal which the Petroit United Railways ttha private company) ld not be obtained; built 1 miles of a record that was surpassed byvthe private company only once in ten years, and that was in 19ltV when it built 23 Vs mitea The company's, average a year for! tea years was eight mile of 'J The city put Into operation thirteen rtolle of. tracks now carrying passenrers at the rate of 2.000.000 a year, They proved that' a 5 cent fare la sufflcient. The city developed new type of "track: construction, reducing cost from $7.000 a mile to $2,000 a I believe from facts that have been gathered a number of citiea where similar work has been done, that the city of Indianapolis can and must solve its street car problem, by making th system the. property of the city, and in no other war will it be solved.

The same la true of the gas plant, electrio light and all other public services that are of a necessity for the mass of people. In conclusion, I would Jlke to ask why do these bondholders and stockholders want to continue to worry and lose money on a losing business? WILLIAM IL HENRY. Assects sf ta.

Before the rovolutiofi practically alt of Russia's railreade government ownd and consequently, political event have not la any affected their ownership: The ultimate government of Russia will be a government of the people.

Therefor th wnerh1p of these railroads is vested In the people thmelvs. If i a pri vat organisation were to take over, a section ef Russia's railroads, through which' re lief could flow, and which would be the, artery for the export of some of RusVla'a exportable resources, what greater security would It bo possible to have than the protection of the people la the district, realising as they would that, their very, llf ponded upon the security of. this en terpriaet illow would It be better to help the fight sgalnat famine thad In this ef ort to hX tbe peopl hlp themaelveef i A sueTaaa this on which would grow byJ leapa and bound.

REPUBLICAN. and Jo the Editor of SirrA citlxen the States who made a recent tour to Europe, going 'over on a Canadian ateamer. and spending some time In England, was Impressed with the almost uniform Intelligence and courtesy of the English and Canadian people, the honesty and fairness of their tradesmen great and small, and the general expressions of good will toward the United States.

In contrast to this, however, wss one case tbt of a Canadian physician from Calgary, who went over on a steamer from Montreal, and who happened tA be seated at a table where there were eeveral other Canadtana. on Englishwoman and three United (ates citizens. The Calgary doctor was seated next to the Americans, but for the most part he turned his back to them and addressed all hie conversation to the Canadians snd Kng lutv. claimed for himself that he was an Irishman, and. was Jocularly saying to the English woman that' moxt of the great general in th English airmy and other men prominent in Kngiish, history had been Irish.

Kinlly he said to her that the only able Enarish born general In' the KnerUan army had ben Gor5 and that even he had "turned traitor and fought inst his country. This quickly brought a "rise" from the Americans present, who resented his remarks and pointed out that Oedr fte Washington had been boro fn Vlr. frinia. He then asserted tbat Waeh ngton was bom In Sussex. England, and that all the President, of the United Statea prior to Lincoln had been 4 born In England.
