"Of course, Arthur will tell you
that he voted TO keep foreign cOun-

Senator TydingS pointed out, Il

He pointed out that the recovery

Senator Tydings referred to Hen

Brookings Institution Survey

The Nations airmail carriers during
the four years prior to the cancella-
ton of their contracts were, for all
practical purposes, in the position of
public utility companies subject to
rate regulation by administrative tri-
bunal it was stated yesterday by the
Brookings Institution in making pub
lie an airmail study by DR.. Paul T.
David
The study. covering the underlying
causes of the airmail controversy,
shows the net deficit incurred by the
Government in connection with the
airmail service has aggregated ap-
proximately S75,000,000, large part
of which constituted "a hidden sub

most cases, at the discretion of the
Postmaster General. in accordance

tres act"
Although the system in effect placed
the companies in the position of pub
lie utilities, most of the safeguards
usually found in such forms of rate
regulation were lacking" it was re-
ported.
AS result of his studies, DR.. David
recommended complete regulation of
airmail transportation by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, to be-
come effective at the earliest possible
date. He holds that air transport is
regarded as a public utility industry
and is like the railroad industry in
that good service can only be provided
by companies which make permanent
investments along their respective
routes.
Permanent Operation Urged.
Companies which provide good serv-
Ice, he believes, should be granted the
right to operate permanently over the
routes they serve at rates subject to
regulation by an impartial tribunal of
semi-judicial character.
He also advocates complete Segre-
cation of transport companies from
manufacturing and financial inter-
ests as means to economy and eff
cheney in purchase of equipment and
conduct of service. Quick return of
