 Comprehensive plans for secret gov ernmental regulation, which shall ln- clude supervision of security issues, must be studied-they are to be decided upon by the Congress and should be worked out coincidently with the operation of the railroads by the government with the fixed purpose and to the end the Con- gress intknded, that they shall be re- turned as 1t prescribed; not that they shall be conducted so as to add to their financial obligations such sums-in many cases against the protest of their cor porate managements-as the railroads will be unable to repay.
 s.The association will have some sug- gestions to offer in relation to plans for their return, which must give equal pro- lection to the shippers, to labor and to the owners of railroad securities. With this in view the association has named an advisory counsel and has added to the general counsel the well known law yers mentioned.
 .aThe questions involved are now at is- sue They are of great ma gniture and far reaching in result, not only in re- spect to the railroads, but also as re- gards all industrial and business life This association will ask for an early decision as to the status of the rail- roads, securities of which it represents to the extent of nearly $5,ooo, 100000"
