points at the opening OF the exchange and the
talk of closing exchange the sale of rails for few days

would be impaired by reporting their securities at recently
prevailing prices and the tens of thousands OF individuals
have borrowed securities whose quoted value had shrnk
perhaps below the fact of the loans
The president be noted does not propose operate
the railroads Much less does he suggest eventual public
ownership His order accompshes just two things First
substituting single director for four ve who have
giving conflicting ORDERS and secondly but OF transcendent
pledges the Government to do the thing

all national risks.
Public necessity has required and will require diversion
of traffic it's natural routes and the of terminal
other facilities by competitors The effect of that is to nue
the roads, which lose their natural traffic and benefit
petors by traffic which they could not get by their ef
forts The President states that roads have already uf
fered severely.
The carriers could of themselves have removed these
justices if they had been permitted They could only do
however by pooling revenues and sey admonshed by
the Attorney General that such action would be crime
which he should be compelled to prosecute.
