Defends Action Of U S Congress In Rail Policy
Washington Private operation of railroads could solve the transportation problem if carriers get a fair chance, says Daniel Willard president of Baltimore & Ohio before the Senate Interstate Commerce Commission. He argues Congress erred in returning roads to owners and urges faith in private operation, asserting railroads can provide adequate service at lower rates, especially under a wiser regulation postwar. He notes federal control aimed to aid the war, not test private versus public operation, and cites 1920 results showing railroads carried more freight after control ended.
