McAdoo supports government rail control after war
Washington Jan 20 Director General McAdoo told the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee that the government should keep operating the railroads for some time after peace and not return them to private ownership until comprehensive national laws are enacted. He denied knowledge of the fuel restriction order but favored it, stating that by war's end the public and shippers will be accustomed to government dealings and reforms will be needed before privatization. He cautioned that the new postwar system would require time and new laws, and that returning the railroads to private owners under the old framework would be injurious to stockholders. He said weather could influence fuel order duration and the transportation situation was improving.
