Washington, Feb. 19.-Daniel VIII
lard, president Of the Baltimore and
Ohio, continuing testimony today be-
fore the senate interstate commerce
committee, proposed ultimate consoli-
dalton Of all the country's railroads

Of a secretary Of transportation, Mr.
Willard favored making the office
largely advisory.
The only two questions which should
be settled before the roads are relin-
quished, Mr.. Willard said, are those
Of sufficient rates and the settlement
Of loans received from the govern

Senator Cummins said he proposed
to offer an amendment to the pend

REIMBURSEMENT OF the roads until after
congress has enacted new legislation.

In a prepared statement presented
to the committee, Howard Elliott,
president of the Northern Pacific, as
serted that reforms proposed by for
mer Director General McAdoo could
be obtained under private manage
ment as suggested by representative
railroad executives.
Mr. Elliott summarized his views as
follows:
First - Government ownership.
management and operation of the
American railroads is not for the best
interests Of the nation.
"Second-Private ownership with
wise, energetic and honest manage.
ment and operation under suitable,
thorough and protective regulation
will produce the best results for the
country.
"Third-Regulation should be so ar
ranged and directed as to preserve
and encourage the initiative of the
American citizen, to be prompt and re-
sponsive to changing conditions, but,
at the same time provide checks to
prevent any unfair and dishonest prac-
by owners and managers, and
also to prevent unreasonable and CON
