GEO. GOULD WOULD SELL
Has No Objection if the Government |
Wants to Buy the Railroads
St. Louis, Oct, 29—“If the!
government believes it can man
age our railroads better than we
can,” said George J. Gould dur
ing his recent visit to St. Louis, i
“and it wishes to operate them, I
ha\e no objection to selling the |
properties. I would sell to the
government as willingly as to an
individual or company, were the
lines to be disposed of, although
ours are good properties and are |
not on the market. This is how I ,
feel, as a railroad man, in regard
to the public ownership of car
riers.
“Hut, as a private citizen, I am
opposed to the public ownership!
suggestion. The government
could not manage the properties
successfully. Private capital or
enterprise is better equipped than
the government for directing rail
roads, and would realize success
ful results against failure on the
part of the government.”

WILL BREAK THE RECORD
Roosevelt Will be First President to
Leave the Country While in Office
When President Roosevelt goes
aboard ship next week and starts
for Panama he frill be doing some
thing that none of his 25 predeces
sors in the executive chair ever at
tempted, and that is to journey
beyond the boundary lines of the
United States during his term of
office. Mr. Roosevelt on more
than one occasion since he assum
ed office has shown that he is not
the man to search for a precedent
when he believes that it is neces
sary to act. But never before has
he so completely upset tradition
as in the case of his trip to the
isthmus.
It has often been stated that, the
president must not leave the Unit
ed States even for a day. But
this restriction is not imposed by
statute. It is only an old, unwrit
ten law which has been respected
by all successors of George Wash
ington.
According to international law
a country’s possessions extend for
three miles outside its coast line.
Plying the seas farther than this
is leaving home territory, which, (
of course, President Roosevelt will1
be obliged to do in his coming trip
to the South.
