Dr. J. C. Ferguson Condemns the Proposal The "Peking Daily News" says:—Considering the suggestion of organizing a special raibvay police force under foreign officers as entirely unsound and impracticable, Dr. John C Ferguson, aviser to the President, has written to Dr. Wellington Koo, Minister of Foreign Affairs, with a request that the letter be submitted to the consideration of the Cabinet. Dr. Ferguson's letter follows:
"In reference to the protection of railways I beg to call the attention of the Cabinet to the uadesirability of any proposed increase of the railway police. forces. It is my opinion that no possible increase of the railway police is adequate for the purpose of protecting communications on the railways. The needed protection can only be given by the various provincial military forces, and it is upon the military commanders of the provinces that the responsibility for protecting the railways should and must devolve.
