At tho sumo tlmo Mr. Hoover uttacked government operation of t ither railroads or (-hipping as "ex periments in Focia'ism necessitated by the to which thero wero many fundamental objections. "No si hcine of political appoint ment," Mr. Hoover said, " has ever vet been devised that will replaco competition in its selection of ability und character. Both shipping and railways have todiiy the advantage of many skilled personnel, sifted out in n. hard school of competition and even then the government operation of tthese enterprises is pot proving sat isfactory.

Already We can show that no government under pressure f ever present political or section in terests can properly conduct the risks of extension and improvement, or can lie free from local presure to con duct unwarranted services in indus trial enterprise." Passed to Consumer Turning to the question of shipping Mr. Hoover said that, while with the railroads government inefficiency would bo passed on to the consumer, "on the seas we will sooner or later find it translated in the national reasury." The speaker asserted that ' as government officials could not' en gage in "higgling In fixing rates' they must take refuge In rigid regu lation and In fixed rates.

Bolshevik condldates were being elected in'all regions. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. The peace treaty compromise negotiations got into such a tangled stata today that, despite claims In some quarters that the lines on both sides were weakening, the treaty's beat friends In tho senate minimized the possibilities of agreemont. "It looks as though we might come out at the same hole we went In," said Senator Hitchcock, democratic leader, after another effort to obtain republican aid in modifying the ar ticle 10 reservation adopted at the last session of congress. He added that tho republicans apparently had rejected all compromise proposals on the subject and that he was certain the treaty never could be ratified un less they did compromise. At the same time, some senators in tho mild reservation group of repub licans indicated their belief that the democratic proposal might control considerable republican strength while republicans contended that enough democrats to secure ratification would break away and vote for the republi can reservation as it stands. Tho result was a muddled situation in which tho party leaders on both sides appeared uncertain as to what might be the next development. It generally was agreed, however, that r.- t. - .Anir . -i. - -m .-, . ithrn hA 1111 chnnfftnn'ii imm conditions existing in Mexico will end dlately, and that the debate which in 1921, according to a statement be:an yesterday would be permitted TO CEASE NIXiOTHTIONS.

Forty democrats had been pledged tonight for the alternate article 10 reservations presented by Senator Hitchcock and ho said he hoped eventually to have the support of one or two more.

Tho President's communication watt not in the naturo of a threat in the common sense of tho term, it was said, but was merely a statement of a situ ation in which the United States might find itself if asked to subscribe to i agreements In which It had no part I and to which It wus opposed. Tho explanation was made in offlolal quarters that tho league of natrons i was to bo tho Instrument for onforc ing various agreements as to boun- I darles and the like and that if the United States became a party to the treaty of Versailles It thus would be subscribing to the enforcement of agreements to wheih It bad not given cither its approval or consent.

Adjournment for the day cut off further inquiry along this line, Mr. Ellin began by demanding for the committee a copy of all the soviet government instructions to Martens. The self-styled ambassador renewed a previous refusal to furnish these saying that he would not divulge codes, the names of couriers who travel between him and Moscow, and other confidential matters.

Tho council made it known in its dally semi-official communication to the newspapers that it does not pro pose to make public tho correspond ence, so that the question of whether the text of the notes will be given to the world rests with President Wil son. fUnce the main facts are publlo property, namely, that the President strongly objects to the solution of the Itallan-Jugo-BIav problem by the ap plication of the treaty , of London thereto, and objects so strongly as to contemplate America's withdrawal from the Versailles compact as a pos sibility, and that the council objects to the re-openlng of the question, the undecided point is whether the argu ment exchanged shall be published whllo tho controversy is hot on tho anvil.

In a brief reference to the inter national situation he declared that the safety f European civilization "waa hanging by a slender thread" and that America was faced with a neworl entation to world problems. "We are today contemplatiing:' he said, "maintenance of an en'arged army and navy in preparedness for futher upheavals, while falling to even provide some Insurance against war by a league to promote peace."
