CONTINUANCE
OF RAIL CONTROL
IS M'AD00 plan

kind of theory. The railroads have
been operated fors~the past year
with the purpose serving efficient
ly the paramount needs of the war
and at the same time furnishing the
best possible service to the public
whether such operation tended to
prove or disprove any theory of rail-
road control, no matter what it
might be. | have formed no opinion
myself as to what is the best dis
position of the railroad problem be-
cause the test has not been sufficient
to prove conclusively the right solu-
ton of the problem. | believe that
hve-year test will give the Aineri-
can people the right answer. An
ounce of experience is worth ton
of theory.
There are those who may say
that an extension of five years for
such a test will mean government
ownership. Personally I do not be-
lieve it. Whether such a test would
indicate that the ultimate solution
shall be government ownership or
modified form of private ownership
under effective federal regulation
should not cause US to hesitate or
refuse to act"
If congress does not extend the
time for government control, said
Mr.. McAdoo, the railroads should
be returned to private management
"at the earliest possible moment"
Practical difficulties of continuing
government operation under exist
ing authority, he pointed out, are
the growing conflicts of authority
between state and federal jurisdic-
tons, inadequacy of the $50O,OOO
revolving fund for financing
inability to force rail-
roads to pay for cars and locomo-
tives without litigation, and to re-
quire terminal improvements.
