RAILROADS OPPOSED
Congress. Has Ne Rish. to
Compel, Says Judge
Lovett
WOULD IMP AIR
THEIR CREDIT

NEW YORK. July decentralization
Of all the railroads Of the United States
into a few large systems-from 70 to %
AS a possible solution OF the nations
railroad problem, is opposed by Robert
s. Lovett, president Of the Union Pa
clflc Railroad, In a memorandum to
members Of Congress, made public here
today.
For considerable period OF the war,
Judge Lovett was director Of the Di-
vision Of Capital Expenditures Of the
government railroad administration
under William G. McAdoo as director
general. In this position. from which he
has since resigned, Judge Lovett had
charge Of all Improvements and ex-
tensions
The effects OF the proposed consoli-
dation would be, In his opinion, ITO
impair the credit OF the strong nosd
instead Of improving the credit Of the
weak road The inevitable effect would
be to reduce the average Of the credit
OF all the railroads.
Congress" he asserted. has no
right to compel one railroad TO consoli-
date with another It may give one the
right to acquire the property Of the
other by condemnation, but It must pay
for It, and, here is the difficulty, pay
for IL in cash.
"The underwriting Of a fabulous
amount must be provided VIII Con-
gress appropriate the billions neces-
sary? Have we bankers enough to pro-
vide the money except through a series

OF years. And what will happen to the
financial welfare OF the country in the
meantimeY
MY judgment is against the con-
solidation OF all the railroads Of the
country into a few companies. be-
cause I believe tho companies will be
too large and unwieldly for efficient
and economical management.
II believe that the absorption Of
some OF the weak lines by the strong
lines. upon fair terms, should be pro-
NOTED, but competition in service and
facilities should not only be preserved
but should be extended"
Judge Loyett also opposed the plan
which has been discussed for pooling
the net earnings OF railroads by divid-
ing them into groups and establishing
rates sufficient TO yield per cent. or
some other specified return on the book
value Of each group. Earnings in ex-
cess OF the average, he pointed out,
would be set aside for the Improbable
roads that earn less.
"The substantial object sought he
declared, "is TO take, directly or in
directly. from the stockholders OF the
prosperous roads net earnings Of their
properties and give the same to the
security holders Of the weak roads"
Congress, he said, was without power
to do this; 1t would be taking OF pri-
vate property for public use without
just compensation contrary to the NTH
amendment Of the Constitution and
would be grossly unfair TO the owners
OF the efficient roads. and also to the
public"
Suggestions put forward by many
flnanclers and railroad men that the
government should guarantee fair dlvi-
dends on the full value Of the railroads
and leave the management IN the hands
OF the railroad owners. was character
ized by Judge Lovett as lmpractlcable
because he, did not believe the govern
ment would take all the risk and none
Of the profits.
II a small return-of 2, or 4 per
cent.-were guaranteed, he said, this
would not be sufficient TO pay the IN
terest on bonds already outstanding
1T would make doubly secure what is
already abundantly secured" he con-
tinued but It would afford no coll
lateral for new issues nor secure new

In the report submitted to the Coun-

further states that for years there
promises to be a tremendous demand
for American products TO rebuild the
war-devastated areas OF Europe, and
re-establish its economic life, not to
mention the growing export trade to
South America, and that the output
