Transportation Problem.

Washington, April 5. - Private
ownership of railroads promises to
solve the transportation problem if
the carriers are given a fair
chance" Daniel Willard, president
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
stated today before the senate in
terstate commerce committee in
continuing his statements begun yes
terday in reply to government own
ership statements of William G.
McAdoo, former director-general of
railroads. Mr. Willard declared
nothing had ever developed to
show that congress erred in return
ing the roads to their owners.
What the railroads need more
than anything else at the present
time" he asserted, lis an opportun-
ity under the terms of the trans
portation act to work out their
problems without unnecessary and
burdensome interference. l am con-
1ident that they will provide the
people of this country with ade-
Quate trans portation at reasonable
rates and lower rates than are to
be found for similar service in any
other country in the world. This
the railroads did do under the faulty
scheme of regulation in effect before
the war, and how much more should
they be able to do so under a better
and wiser scheme of regulation now
in effect"
