to reorganize and continue freight carriers until
such time their rates were deemed eXorbitant or
their charters expired, the Government abrogating
to itself all passenger traffic within the confines of
its continent and declaring itself competitor
for all transportation under tariffs to be
formulated 1t ended by asserting that government
ownership of aerial transportation not adopted
at the behest of any political party but solely that
the people might derive the benefit and the nation
maintain its invunerable power Thus it that
