Freight moves faster than ever before. Car
shortages have become almost unknown.
Freight schedules are the most dependable in
history.
Yet the railroads today are confronted
with serious problem. What's the reason?
Is it "high rates.? Most emphatically not.
The average revenue for hauling a ton of
freight mile has been less than a cent for
the past six years-the lowest rates in the world
for comparable service. And average revenues
per passenger mile in 1887 were the lowest in
history.
Is it "watered stock? No-the amount
of railroad stocks and bonds outstanding is
less by billions of dollars than the investment
in railroad property; and is less, in relation to
investment. than it was thirty years ago, when
railroads were at the peak of their prosperity.
Is it an increasing burden of debt? No
the total debt, in relation to investment is also
far less than It was thirty years ago.
Is it an increasing burden of interest
charges? No-in relation to what they collect
for their services, interest on bonded indebted. :

ness is less than it was three decades ago,
when the railroads were making money.
All right, then, what is the difficulty?
Simply this: Like any individual, the rail-
roads must keep expenses lower than income.
But when their income is down-as it is now
because of general business conditions-the
railroads cannot trim sail in the way an in.
dividual or other businesses do.
They cannot shut down like factory
because they are delivering service vital to
America.
They cannot adjust their rates or prices"
except by permission Of public regulatory
authorities.
They cannot adjust rates of pay and hours
of work-the major element of their expense
except under the provisions of the Railway
Labor Act.
Their earnings are limited, their expenses
increased by local, state and federal laws
ranging from reduced rates on government
traffic, in return for land grants to railroads
whose pioneering opened up wilderness, to
the cost of rebuilding bridges when streams
are improved" to assist competing transport
tation.
So the net of the problem" is this-the
railroads are trying to do business under a
half-century accumulation of laws, rulings and
regulations which limit earnings and increase
costs.
What they most need is chance to 60
ahead under regulation and legislation modern
lied to meet conditions today, applied fairly
and equally to all forms Of transportation.

Il believe" said Father Smith. that
Catholic life throughout the world,
even in our country, is confronted at
present by threefold and serious at
tack-an attack upon God, an attack
upon our church and a very serious
attack upon our Nation" He called
this ali "unholy conspiracy" against
the good forces of the world.
THE attack upon God" Father
Smith continued. "repudiates the Di-
vine existence and questions the right
OF God TO the worship of all creation.
The attack on our church is a very
subtle onslaught on institutions our
church has always sought to protect
as basic in civilized society. The at
tack on our country questions first the
need of all government and repudiates
the solid virtues of citizenry without
which democracy cannot exist"
