"This leads to the consideration as to whether railroad, credit is as good as th public interest requires. It is impossible for railroads to earn enough to supply the necessary, new facilities from current revenue. They must be provided from credit. Investors cannot be coerced, but must .be attracted." Among the conditions affecting railroad credit which deter Jnvestors he mentioned the following: "First, Railroad revenues are not controlled by investors, biit are fixed and limited by governmental authority and not by one but by several governmental authorities, which 4do not recognize responsibility for assured results to investors and are uncoordinated.

"Third, The present system of regulation te based on a policy of regulation and correction and not on a policy of helpfulness and encouragement "Fourth, The outstanding obligations of the railroads have already exceeded the financial rule of safety and involve a disproportionate amount of obligations bearing fixed charges. "Fifth, The investor must accept a subordinate obligation or security with no assurance of a surplus of earnings to support it "Sixth, Other competitive lines of investment present superior attractions. "Seventh, The railroad business is largely controlled by political instead of business considerations. Look Forward, Not Back. "W7 may debate about what has caused the present conditions," said Mr. Thom, "hut we cannot debate about what the people need. The President has taken the view that we must look forward in this matter and 'make a fresh assf'.sment of circumstances' in order to deal helpfully and intelligently with the problem. Abuses are no more prevalent in the railroad business today than in any other business humanely conducted. The great question now is whether the existing system of regulation gives the public reliable assurance of sufficient present and future railroad facilities. "Those who oppose any change must make their appeal on the ground that the present systems assure the public of the continued adequacy of transportation facilities. If they do not no argumenr based on the desirability of the present dual system of regulation will bo accepted by public judgment The question of 'states' rights' is not Involved. If the regulation of transportation facilities privately owned should fall government ownership must follow, and then all power of the states over the railroads would disappear.
