By WOODROW WILSON. have exercised the powers over the traneportatlon systems of the country which were granted me by the act of congress of August, 1916, because It has become Imperatively necessary for me to do to. This is a war of resources no less than of men, perhaps even more than of men, and It la necessary for the complete mobilization of our resources that the transportation system of the country should be organized and employed under a single authority and a simplified method of which have not proved possible under private management and control. The committee of railway executives who have been with the government in this all important matter have done the utmost that it was possible for them to do; have done it with patriotic zeal and with great ability; but there were difficulties that they could neither escape nor neutralize. Complete unity of administration in the present circumstances Involves upon occasion and at many points a serious dislocation of earnings, and the committee was, of course, without power or authority to rearrange charges or effect proper compensations and adjustments of earnings. Several roads which were willingly and with admirable public spirit accepting the orders of the committee have already suffered from these circumstances and should not be required to suffer further. In mere fairness to them the full authority of the government must be substituted. The government itself will thereby gain an Immense increase of efficiency in the conduct of the war and of the Innumerable activities upon which its successful conduct depends. The public interest must be first served, and in addition the financial interests of the government and the financial interests of the railroads must be brought under a common direction. The financial operations of the railways need not, then, interfere with the borrowings of the government, and they themselves can be conducted at a greater advantage. Investors in railway securities may rest assured that their rights and interests will be as scrupulously looked after by the government as they could be by the directors of the several railway systems. Immediately shall recommend that these definite upon the reassembling of congress guarantees be given: First, of course, that the railway properties will be maintained during the period of federal control In as good repair and as complete equipment as when taken over by the government; and, second, that the roads shall receive a net operating income equal in each case to the average net income of the three years preceding June 30, am entirely confident that the congress will be disposed in 1917; and this case, as in others, to see that justice is done and full security assured to the owners and creditors of the great systems which the government must now use under its own direction or else suffer serious embarrassI I I ment. The secretary of war and I are agreed that, all the circumstances being taken into consideration, the best results can be obtained under the immediate executive direction of William G. McAdoo, whose practical experience peculiarly fits him for the service and whose authority as of the treasury will enable him to as no other man could the many financial interests which will be involved and which might, unless systematically directed, suffer very embarrassing entanglements. The government of the United States Is the only great government now engaged In the war which has not already assumed control of this sort. It was thought to be in the spirit of American institutions to attempt to do anything that was necessary through private management, and if zeal and ability and patriotic motive could have accomplished the necessary unification of administration it would certainly have been accomplished; but no zeal or ability could overcome insuperable obstacles, and I have deemed it my duty to recognize that fact in all candor, now that it is demonstrated, and to use without reserve the great authority reposed In me. A great national necessity dictated the action and I was therefore not at liberty to abstain from it. seo-reta- ry rates and governed tlie traffic of the lized in extremely unprofitable translines. portation In order that the transportation of war materials might be faciliWorking Out Plans for Months.

In formulating the plan he will present to congress the president studied the system adopted In England and consulted men experienced In the results of the system. If the English plan is adopted in Its entirety the government will order that government freight and officials engaged on government business be carried free. It then will pay out of public funds to each road a sufficient sum to bring that roads operating Income up to the average of the three years preceding June 80, 1917. McAdoo, while director general of railroads, will retain the office of secretary of the treasury, as the president has pointed out, McAdoos authority as secretary of the treasury will enable him to the many financial Interests involved and which might, unless systematically directed, suffer very embarrassing entanglements. The attempt of the railroads themselves to provide this single authority and simplified organization In the existing rallrpads war hoard and Its special operating committee has proved a failure because of physical limitations, although the president pays high tribute to the ability and zeal of the five rail executives whose efforts have been devoted to the task. Will Use War Board. The organization effected by the railroads war board will be the foundation upon which Director General McAdoo will build the structure of government control. It Is not unlikely that some, If not all of the members of the war board, will be associated with Mr. McAdoo In administering the management of the unified lines. In his statement the president refers .to the defects of the system of unification attempted under private control. Several railroads have suffered financially and physically from carrying out the orders of the war board, which require them to be uti 30, 1917. Under government control the railroads are to be assisted in obtaining the capital necessary to finance the vast extensions of trackage and terminals and the building of additional locomotives and cars made imperative by the demands of war. May Get Loan Later. The president says that under government control the financial earnings of the railways need not then Interfere with the borrowings of the government. Railroad investments are to be made attractive to Investors by the government guarantee. Eventually a loan may be made by the government to the railroads. It Is said, however, In the selection of Mr. McAdoo for director general of railroads that there lies the greatest promise of government assistance to the railroads In financing their operations and extensions. The president says that he will ask congress, Immediately after the holidays, to enact legislation that the rail properties underproviding government control shall be maintained In as good repair and as complete equipment as when taken over and that the roads shall receive a net operating income equal in each case to the average net income of the three years preceding June 30, 1917.
