It is possible that some consideration may be given by the Federal Government to the ques- tion of extending credit necessary for expansion, especially if the War Fi- nance,Corporation bill is adopted. The utilities in which the Federal Railroad Administration will interest itself are street railway, light, heat and power companies. Where it ap pears necessary increases in fares o1! rates may be suggested. McAdeo's Appeal. Copies of the correspondence between the President and Mr. McAdoo were made public toaay. The Secretary's letter to the President follows: Feb. 15, 1918. Dear Mr. President--I1 beg to har you herewith several memoranda letters relating to street railway and other local public utilities furnish- ing light, heat, and power, which 1 have been asked to bring to your attention by a committee represent- ing public utility interests.

It is cbvious that every part of our industrial and economic life should be maintained at its maximum strength in order that each may con- tribute in the fullest measure to the vigorous prosecution of the war. Our local public utilities must not be per- mitted to become weakened. Trans- portation of workers to and from our vital industries and the health and comfort of our citizens in their homes are dependent upon them, and the necessary power to drive many of our war industries and many other in- dustries essential to the war is pro- duced by them It may be that here and there, because of the prominence given to less important interests im- mediately at hand,' State and local Join the music lovers in the SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERTS THE EDEN authorities do not always appreciate T k C the close connection between the aKe onserve soundness and efficiency of the local utilities and the national strength and vigor, and dc not resort with suf- Advantage Your AT THE ficient promptness to the call for rem- edial measures.

My Dear Mr. Secretary: TI have examined with care the memoranda and letters which you transmitted to me with your letter of the fifteenth. I fully share the views you express regarding the impor- tance of the public service utilities as a part of our national equip- ment, especially in wartime. It is essential that these utilities should be maintained at their maximum effi- ciency and that everything reason- ably possible should be done with that end in view. I hope that State and local authorities, where they have not already done so, will, when the facts are properly laid before them, respond promptly to the neces- sities of the situation. I shall be glad to have you com- municate with the local authorities whenever the information in your possession suggests that such a coarse is desirable and in the na- tional interests. @® Cordially ycurs, (Signed) WOODROW WILSON.
