Secretary Jardine Tells
Transport Conference Rail-

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO. May 2S.-Secretary Of
Agriculture W. NJ. Jardine told the
Midwest Transport Conference today
that there is no basis for the fear that
the motor truck is going to compete
seriously with the railroads, but that
the motor vehicle will find its place
in the scheme of transportation
naturally and inevitably. as have all
the earlier new users of the high
.-,ayS."
. The truck has found it's place in. the
short haul he Sa Id. and it is not taking
over any business that the railroads
can do as well or better: the truck is
not invading the long-haul field.
I'VE can help the motor vehicle find
its place by wise. restraint of its more
enthusiastic proponents and by re-
framing from regulation which may
have crippling effect" he declared.
New Usefulness of Roads.
The motor vehicle has given to
highway transportation a new useful
ness, and the public has expressed its
belief in it by an enormous invest
ment. Road builders and vehicle man
ufacturerS must cooperate in order
that the road shall be built to carry the
vehicles and that the vehicles shall
waterway and highway transportation
should be co-ordinated in order that
each shall be developed to its highest
point of usefulness without taking
from another the functions which the
other can; perform to the better ad-
vantage of the public"
Regarding motor trucks destroying
the roads, MIR. Jardine said: There
are now as, many motor trucks using
the roads as there were of all kinds
of motor vehicles 10 years ago, but the
cost of the roads per ton mile of traf-
fic is far less now than it was then.
The idea that trucks destroy roads
iS<a hangover from the war period,
when they were actually destroyed be-
cause, the heavier motor trucks We're
suddenly released, on. roads which had
not been built to accommodate them
The roads we are building now are

General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States met this
morning for its last session of the
fortY-siXth annual gathering. Most OF
its business transacted. the church
court was expected to act before ad-
journment on the partial report of the

The two reports advocate different
methods of vesting control of the asso-

that had been disturbing the Southern

injured him financially. The
