Cuyler, clearly and concisely summar-
ICES the views held by the Association
OF Railway Executives" The letter in
part follows:
From the national point Of view. I
consider government ownership and
operation as graTely and farreaching-
ly detrimental, socially, economically
and politically. It is incompatibIe
with our system and methods OF gov
eminent and with the genius Of Amer
lean institutions
1T would mean lessened efficiency
and lead to stagnation and retrogres-
sion It would mean the setting up of
huge bureaucratic machine, political
wire pulling and log rolling. largely
increased cost to the merchant and
farmer; indeed largely increased cost
all around and many other evils.
We are in the fortunate situation
of being able, through constructive
legislation, providing among other
things for strong, but not strangling
government regulation and supervis-
ion, TO correct such shortcomings in
the system and methods Of private
railroad management as experience
has disclosed and to secure for the
public practically all the tangible adj
vanrages which are claimed in favor
OF governmental operation, without
depriving the nation OF the inestima-
bic advantage Of private initiative and
enthusiasm and competitive service.
II government operation Is con-
tinued for five years a situation Will
have been created. financially and
otherwise, which, I believe, inevitably I
means permanent government opera /

The proposal OF the railroad

similar IN general scope to the

gested regulation Of security issues

mission believed there need be no
difference in charges between compe-
titive and noncompetitive traffic
since carriers could be compelled, by
governmental authority. to provide
themselves with adequate equipment

said adequate service was more I'm
portant than minor details OF rate

Among the reasons presented by
commissioner Woolley. In support OF
the proposed extension OF govern
ment control. were these.
Railroads would have difficulty
financing themselves privately within
the next few years; the socalled weak
sisters among railroads would be
thrown into receivership on return
tc private control: other public utfli-
ties would be forced into financial
difficulty, II many railroads were to
collapse financially: a new system
Of rate making, based on terminal
charges plus straight mileage. should
