ation of the roads the committee in its report said: “Clearly it was not the purpose of the* director general of the railroads to give the Impression that 1904,000,000 would cover the total losses sustained by the government dazing federal control, nor should tt be Inferred that 922M00.000 shown as the additional loss the government will snffer because of federal control is the only loee which the government will sustain becaase of the federal control and operation of the railroads. “Aside from the question of the claims of nader-maintenance. made by the railroads and the loss of interest to the government on approprlatimis made for the operation of the roads, it must be remembered that the government will have an investment in railroad securities arising from federal control of 2902.000.•M. Many of these loans were made ho weaker roads in order to prevent receiverships during federal controL Investments In Seenrities. "No one wm contend that the government will realise the full amount invested tn these securities. If all the securities owned by the government at tbe present time, including its investment in Liberty and Victory bonds, were sold upon the market for cash. It is quite probable that the lose to the government in these transactions alone would total more than 2220,0M.#0f on a total investment of more than 2000.000.0M including the Investment In Inland waterwaya Assuming thut tbe railroad securities owned by the government would shrink 2250.000.000 by the present eottverslon thereof into cash the total lose to the government chargeable to federal control and operation of rallf^»ada amounts to 11.175,000.000, leaving out of consideration sny question of under maintenance." Ei^t losses can not be determined BBtil all affairs of the railroad administration are settled, the report •aid, pointing out that Mr. Hines expected "the task of winding up affairs of the railway administration to continue certainly until December

21. 1920. and that it Is entirely probable it may run beyond March 1. 1921." Besides the money for the railroad administration the committee recommended appropriations aggregating 19.000. 000 for miscellaneous government services the principal one being 27.000. 000 additional for caring for wax disabled soldiers and sailors by the war risk insurance bureau.
