England tonnage is concerned, the burden would necessarily be borne by New England business and indus try alone. These are considerations worthy of your most careful thought.
 It is our understanding that you have already been furnished with copies of the plan which we have proposed for the disposition of New England railroads. I shall, there fore, content myself with a general outline of that plan. We believe that the Canadian National and the Can- adian Pacific should remain as they are as separate systems in accord ance with the Interstate Commerce commission plan; that the railroads within New England comprising the New Haven system, as outlined in the I. c. c. Plan, sl-ould be allocated to. the Pennsylvania and the Balti- more and Ohio systems and operat- ed under equal joint stock owner ship; that the Boston and Maine sys- tenn within New England should be allocated to the Chesapeake and Ohio Nickel Plate system; that the Boston and Albany and the Rutland (except Rouses Point t-Ogdensburgh Line), should remain with the New York Central: that the so-called bridge lines should be appropriately allocated between and among the proposed four eastern trunk line sys- tems in such manner as to give them access to the. Hudson river gate-

feet our ability to serve New Eng land as connecting carriers will have been met and satisfied. Our interest bes in open gateways and New Eng land railroads independent in fact as well as in name"
 It would be unfair, however, for us to limit our suggestions to those things which affect only our own service. Candor requires us to say that an all-New England system, as we'll as consolidation of the New Haven with the Boston and Maine, are clearly inimical to the best in- terests of New England; and this Is especially true of the latter con- solidation, with the continued pres lence of Pennsylvania ownership, con- ,trol or influence.
 { We are aware of the concern of the members of your committee, in common with all New Englanders, over the effect which any readjust- ment of New England railroads might have upon your commerce, in dustries, cities and ports. We, therefore, submit. for consideration the fact that of your two large rail- road systems-the New Haven and the Boston and Maine-thelatter is the weaker and least profitable of the two and it is particularly a sys- tenn which in the public interest should be allied with stronger sys-

later consideration in accordance with the suggestion of the Interstate Commerce commission in it's intro- ductory statement to the -consolida- ton plan of December g, 1929. We believe that the four trunk line sys- tems and the two Canadian systems should get together and work out such excahnges of rights as may be practical and necessary, to the end that the cities, towns, ports and in- dustries of New England may be pro- vided with adequate and competent service without advantage or disad- vantage to any of the railroad sys- tems.
 We have not so far mentioned the Maine ?Centra1 and the Bangor and Aroostook roads. The Interstate Commerce commission in it's plan allocated these roads to the Boston and Maine system. As we have said before, we believe that these roads, il allocated to any system. should and must be allocated to the one which acquires the Boston and Maine.
 If your railroads are freed from trunk line ownership, control and in- fiuence, and are thus made 'inde- pendent in fact as we'll as in name" with open gateways as we have indi
 cated then the conditions which af-

shed 20 pounds, and Russ Danieu
