w. G. McAdoo advocates keeping the
railroads under government control for
at least five years after the close Of the
war. 1t would require about that long
, to give the system fair test There has
been much discussion as to whether the
government ought to own or control the
railroads Now is a good time to settle
the question by fair trial. The expert
ence gained in war times is not fair
criterion, but several years of peace with
the railroads operated by the govern
ment would give an actual and thorough
end of that time whether it is a good
thing and ought to be continued We
believe it would be good idea, now that
the government has the railroads, to
keep them five years. IF they are sur
rendered to the owner now they will
never again be in government control.
The railroad lobby is too powerful to
permit this except in war times.
