This was the gist of a 40,000-woropinion handed down by President Roosevelts emergency commission after three weeks of deliberation. Board members: Chief Justice Waiter P. Stacy of the North Carolina Supreme court; Dean James M. Landis of Harvard law school, once chairman of the securities and exchange commission; Professor Harry A. Millis, University of Chicago economist and former member of the national labor relations board. Likelihood of enforcing the 15 per cent wage cut despite the commissions findings is considered small. But this does not lessen the plight of U. S. railroads, whose sorry condition will probably receive attention from next winter's congress. Since utilities are getting government aid under the guise of U. S. defense insurance (see below), moreover since the government plans to strengthen its defenses generally, railroad management will justify its request for federal aid on the same grounds. Already suggested is a revolving government fund for purchase of new equipment, plus a federal appropriaof railroad tion to pay r maintenance costs during a test period. 0.- Hi? r:: Xjjyck fact-findin- Europe lays the groundwork for be age (See FORFIGX ) Foreign The European domination won at Munich by Germany and Italy is i but a prelude to plans for relegating France and staGreat Britain into second-ratr tus.

But recalling successive British diplomatic defeats in Ethiopia, Spain, China, Austria and Czechoslovakia, Chamberlain's foes wonder what he means by safety. The real Chamberlain policy is appeasement of dictators at any cost. Thus the prime minister has forced a approval of his Italian friendship pact in the house of commons. Thus, too. he has dropped Britain's elaborate defensive armament plan and urged the retirement of War Minister LesOnce active in oplie posing Spain's civil war, Great Britain must now grant belligerent rights to both Loyalists and Rebels, Still unfulfilled are Hitler's demands colonies for return of and a air domination over Great Britain. Then he will be ready to make peace. FliAXCF., now torn by financial distress resulting from feverish rearmament, has welcomed Reichs-fuchre- r Hitlers oiler of a 10 or truce. This is more groundr work behind the eventual pact. In return for German renunciation of territorial claims (in Europe) against France. Paris would re establish normal diplomatic relations with Italy talready accomplished) and actually turn away from the League of Nations to live at the mercy of dictators. Since France faces bankruptcy unless she can halt rearmament, any kind of peace is welcome. Still another sign of French capitulation is Premier Edouard Daladier's renunciation of Communist party support, a move which gains favor with Soviet hating states. ITALY AL CF.RMASY are now so sure of their positions that they find it unnecessary to ask British-Frencadvice on handling Czechoslovakia's minority problem. Although the treaty of Munich stipuaction on Czech lated minority problems. Foreign Ministers Joachim von Ribbentrop and Count Galeazzo Ciano have just transferred a large part of Czechoslovakia to Hungary. For Germany, recent weeks have opened a wedge permitting a successful economic drive to the east." For Italy they have brought Franco-Britisrecognition of her Ethiopian conquest, placing Premier Mussolini's battle-wuempire in good standing with Europe's highest diplomatic society.

The situation began changing in 1931 when Japan walked into Manchu-kuo- , and has become a greater threat to Western trade interests since the Chinese war began. Today, with the richest part of China under Japanese control, Western powers have feared that nation might go the way of Manchukuo, becoming a Japanese protectorate entirely dominated by Japan. This fear has been justified by Japan's statement of policy in the Far East, interpreted in part as an answer to the U. S. "open door demand. Japan has announced she intends to create a political and economic union of her empire with China and Manchukuo, which means that Western powers will be left on the optside. Since a foreign office spokesman has said no part of eastern Asia shall be westernized, British, French and U. S. concessions in China are considered threatened. Part of the new deal for the Far East includes a united front against Communism, which has become popularized in China the past 10 years. In this respect, and in making a final withdrawal from the League of Nations, Japan has lined up definitely with the other two have not" nations, Italy and Germany.

Utilities STOMACH New Deal dams and power plants have ollered public utilities serious competition, forcing dow'n their prices and creating an unfriendly breach between electricity execuOne tives and the administration. government power project not yet started is the St. Lawrence waterway, which President Roosevelt praised during September when the war scare first began. At that time, partly because he feared a lack of power reserve, partly because such a shortcoming might be good advertising for a St. Lawrence project, the President appointed a commis sion under Louis Johnson,assistant secretary of war. When the commission reported recently, it failed to mention St. Lawrence waterway plans. But it made bigger and mere puzzling news by drawing executives of 14 large utilities to Washington and getting their promise to start expanding. If this was a peace gesture, it was overshadowed by explanations that utility expansion is an important step in the government's defense program and a healthy move toward business recovery.
