transportation Problem
Serious and Pressing

In the meantime may l make this
suggestion? The transportation prob
EN- Is an exceedingly serious and press
ing one in this country. There has
from time to time of late been reason
TO fear that our railroads would not
much longer be able to cope with 1t
successfully. as at present equipped and
co-ordinated. / suggest that 1t would
be wise to provide foT a commission of
inquiry to ascertain by a thorough can
VaSs Of the whole question whether our
laws as at present framed and ad-
ministeTed are as serviceable as they
might be in the solution of the prob
lem. It Is obviously a problem that lies
at the very foundation OF our efficiency
as q people. Such an inquiry ought to
draw out every circumstance and opin-
ion worth considering and we need to
know all sides of the matter IL we
mean to do anything in the field of
Federal legislation.
No one, / am sure. would wish to
take any backward step. The regula :
ton of the railways of the country by
Federal commission has had admirable
results and has FULLY justified the hopes
and expectations of those by whom the
policy OF regulation was originally pro-
posed. The question is not what should
we undo? 1t is, whether there Is any
thing else We can do that would supply
us with effective means, in the very
process of regulation, for bettering tle
conditions under which the railroads are

Industries Should Be Ready
For Mobilization

What is more important is, that the
industries and resources of the country
should be available and ready for mo-
bilization. 1t 1s the more imperativeiy
necessary, therefore, that we should
promptly devise means for doing what
we have not yet done: that we should
give intelligent Federal aid and stimu-
lation to industrial and vocational edu-
cation, as we have long done in the
large field Of our agricultural industry;
that, at the same time that we safe
guard and conserve the natural re-
sources of the country we should put
them at the disposal Of those who will
use them promptly and intelligenty,, as
was sought to be done in the admirable
bills submitted to the last Congress
from its Committees on the PuSfc
Lands, bills which l earnestly recon-
mend in principle to your consideration;
that we should put into early operation
some provision for rural credits which
facilities already afforded the farmer
oy the reserve bank act adequate IN
strumentaltties by which long credits
may be obtained on land mortgages;
and that we should study more care
fully than they have hitherto been stud
led the right adaptation of our economic
arrangements to changing conditions.
Many conditions about which we have
repeatedly legislated are being altered
from decade to decade, II is evident,
under our very eyes. and are likely to
change even more rapidly and more
radically in the days Immediately ahead
OF us. when peace has returned to the
world and the nations Of Europe once
more take up their tasks of commerce
and industry with the energy of those
who must bestir themselves to bald
anew. Just what these changes viii
ne no one can certainly foresee or cor
hdently predict. There are no calcu-
liable, because no stable, elements IN
the problem. The most we can do
Is to make certain that we have tic
necessary instrumentalities OF informa-
tion constantly at our service so that
we may be sure that we know exactly
what we are dealing with when we
come to act. IL II should be necessary
to act at ali. We must first Certainly
know what It is that we are seeking
to adapt ourselves to. may ask the

operated and for making them more
useful servants Of the country as q
whole. 1t seems to me that It might be
the part Of wisdom, therefore, before
further legislation in this field is at
tempted, to look at the whole problem
of coordination and efficiency in the
full light of a fresh assessment OF cir
cumstance and opinion, as a guide to
dealing with the several parts of It;
For what we are seeking now, what
in my mind Is the single thought OF
this message, is rational efficiency and
security. We serve a great nation. We
should serve 1t in the spirit OF its
peculiar genius. It is the genius of
common men for self-government, in
dustry, justice, liberty and peace. We
should see to It that II lacks no instru-
ment, no facility or yigor OF law, to
energy, safety, and assured success. In
this we are no pRrtisans but heralds
and prophets OF q new age.
