It's investigators have been getting facts about the con-

Federal control. receiving rentals
but suffering huge losses in net
earnings. were not in a position to
issue bonds to take care Of these
capital disbursements.
The ex-Director General didn't
mention the fact that he inflated
railroad costs OF operation without
increasing rates sufficiently to meet
them, or that the railroad admin-
istration left the carriers, when they
were ready to be restored to their
owners. burdened with excessive op-
Grating ratios and on the verge Of
receiverships. He and Director Cen
eral Hines could have returned them
strong and prosperous II they had
allowed them a fair return on SER
vice during the war period and had
not paid vast rental deficits out Of
the Federal Treasury.
The moral obligation to assist the
railroads arises from the govern
mems maladministration OF them
during the war period. The eco
nomic obligation arises from the fact
that prosperity in many other in
dustries is dependent on efficient and
successful railroad operation.
