by several companies. These com panies could and may be forced in to bankruptcy or forced to use their vessels in more profitable op- erations. The hearings in 1940 es- tablished to the satisfaction of the Attorney General of Alaska that what profits were made for several years prior thereto were by these operators almost entirely from chartering vessels in foreign ser- vice where port charges were very small and few stops were made on long voyage.
 Since increased rates would be disastrous to the economy of Alas ka and cause a further decrease in revenues with an ever increasing cost of operations, this Chamber must oppose any increase. There fore in order to be assured of ser- vice we must have subsidy or some form of government opera tion.
 It appears from Delegate Bart let's remarks that he shares your committees doubts regarding the possibility of getting subsidy. Subsidies have never to our know ledge been given to operators in coastWise trade. The following fac tors add to the difficulty of getting g subsidy.
 "1 Lack of precedence.
 "2. No assurance that any sub- sidy given would be continued.
 8. Delay in securing an appro- priation.
 A. Congress is not likely to sub sidize one operator without subsi- dizing all operators now running vessels to or within Alaska, which includes a large number of small local operators
 5. It would result in steamship operators being subsidized in com petition with air lines.
 If no subsidy can be obtained we may find it necessary to accept government operation of the yes sels. The following thoughts on such government operation by the Alaska Railroad have been conSd- cred:
 q. Congress would probably be more favorable to granting an ap- propriation to pay the deficit of the railroad as the operator than it would be to give a subsidy to one or more private operators.
 "2. Congress would probably be more inclined to pay for new ships which are absolutely needed to re- duce maintenance costs. This is especially true since much deterior- ation of the vessels was caused by unusually long use without adequate repair during the war while in government operation, carrying mostly government freight.
 B. Labor costs would be deter mined on a different basis with the rates established for labor the same as they are established on the rail- road.
 A. Merchants and industrial es- tablishments in Alaska now must carry burGensome inventories as in- surance against strikes which would be lessened under Government op- eration.
 "5. The Alaska Railroad has for many years operated under a policy set by Congress which does not per- init a deficit as the railroad must get along on its own revenues. This in the mast has heen done by ue-

 Many men are leaving Washington with Q sym pathetic insight into the problems Of federal admin istration, Still others who never could accept the complications of the federal system are bitter about the inefficiency Of It. t@
