men are beginning to look ahead in an effort TO
discern possible obstacles in the road Their
purpose is not to check the revival by baseless
pessmsm but to clear tho way through recog-

the purpose of a warning voiced BY Representa- n
i've Chalmers, of Ohio, last week before the
Washington City club.
THE very return OF the country to normalcy "
he said, will tend to choke the business life
out Of the nation by lack OF proper circulation
The railroads are adequate to handle 40 per
cent or the traffic In normal times" The cor
ciusion Is obvious IL the railroads cannot ham
die normal trade demands. we must provide
supplementary means of transportation in order
that freight delays will not check the revival
OF business.
Mr.. Chalmers is not the first TO voice such n
warning. Railroad men and heavy shippers
have been relteratng II ever since our transpor-
tation system broke down under the volume of
postwar traffic. We all remember the short
age or transportation facilities, the wall for cars
