"A FRANK Statement
ABOUT TRAVEL

Here is what President Truman says
about the current travel situation:
The transportation performance in
mobilizing our victorious armies in
: Europe over period of four long, diff
cult years required the utmost effort.
The plan of battle now requires that our
armies be transferred to the far Pacific
in the very short time of ten months.
THE transportation job in the first
phase of the war has often been called
miracle. The job ahead of us is even
bigger.
The facilities for civilian passenger
transportation will be greatly reduced.
In order to obtain passenger equipment
for troop movements, it will probably
be necessary to reduce the capacity of
sleeping car equipment on regular trains
by SO per cent.
1T is important that the public un-
derStand the situation and at once lend
full cooperation in order that the burden
may be minimized."
Colonel ]. Monroe Johnson, Director
of the Office of Defense Transportation,
further explains:
The only way enough coaches and
Pullmans can be found to carry our
Pacific bound troops will be by taking
cars from regular passenger trains
we may have to 60 even further.
Some trains may have to be taken out

while this gigantic move is taking
place, we must provide speedy and COM
Portable transportation for the many
casualties 10000 per month
who will continue to move back to this
country as the war progresses.
I'VE must transport newly inducted
soldiers perhaps million in the next
IL months; and also supply transporta-
ton for the army remaining in CONT
mental United States, as well as for
members of the Navy, Coast Guard and
Marines"
What it all adds up to is this:
The transportation demands of the
armed forces are now greater than ever
before. There is less space on trains for
civilian travellers than ever before. And
there is every possibility that the pas
senger services of the railroads will be
further curtailed, at moments notice,
to provide equipment for the armed
forces.
Reluctantly, therefore, we must
again warn you not to travel unless
your trip is necessary.
You are reminded that rail travel will
be more uncomfortable than ever before
and you may not be able to get any ac-
commodations for your return journey.

of civilian service entirely Already more
than so trains have been so taken.
There will be more"
What this gigantic transportation job
really involves is summed up in the
following statement by the Office of De-
fense Transportation:
Before next March, more than three
million American soldiers will be landed
at ports along our Atlantic coast from
Maine to Florida. BY midsummer it is
expected that they will arrive at the rate
of nearly half million month.
Most of these men will be carried by
rail three thousand miles to the Pacific
Coast But that's only part of the story.
Before the men ship out to the Pacific
battle areas they will have been trans
ported from Atlantic ports to staging
areas, then grouped geographically and
moved to Army camps nearest their
home. After furlough home, each man
will report to an induction center-then
to be moved to retraining camp.
The next trip will be to staging
area somewhere on the west coast. His
seventh trip will be made from staging
area to shipside.
Our railroads must accommodate
the equivalent of twenty million people
each making one trip. All of this is to
be accomplished in period of about 10
months Even that isn't all of the story.
