Mr.. Morgan's statement read:

I'VE undoubtedly believed that n
railroad peculiarly situated as Is tho
New Haven. with n growing passen-
ger trniiic ut very low rates and with
expensive improvements required all

to Increase its traffic and maintain Its
position. He believed. moreover. that

Maine. which were not In his oplnion.
IN any sense competing lines. could bc
operated to the benefit of New Eng
land more advantagcously together
Than apart. and that no harm could
come to the public from this amalpa-
nation by reason of the fun measure
OF State and national regulation which
the laws afforded.
Il am quite ready to believe. also.
that he agreed with Mr.. Meilcn that
the entrance OF the Grand Trunk Rail

Noivcd the unnecessary duplication of
