Nor does the statement of the problem end here. Certain parts of the country arc in need ot transpoiiation but can not, under present condi tions, offer immediate business guaranteeing the return demanded on investment and for the people in such areas transportation facilities should be provided. For they are necessary to their development and with development that woiHd folr'iwh protfsionthrty ouM M'tii'Msli thhiying business. ? ji While in different sections the transportation problem shows itself in different aspects, it must be studied as a whole as well as sectionally if satisfactory solution is to be effected. , Various routes and systems as now operated are separate and,, to a certain extent, are going it alone. Hut, within their limits, they function 'as the nation's arteries of trade and commerce and therefore lend themselves to study as basis of general, correlated, coordinated and con solidated arterial system or veloped. This carries a solution of the problem as two presi dents have seen it and as sound economic principles point. The nation is to be considered as a body, and to function 1 1.. ' 1 111 J I i J .

Present conditions convincingly prove that trans - portion development nlonar lines hitherto pursued docs not, will not and can not measure up to this. Costly dui-, licatioiralid overabundance of service must bo abandoned for RtlpplemeiUary sen'ice and for extension of transporta- tion facilities, if the nation's needs are to be satisfactorily met. And development along' such lines would call for correlation, coordination, consolidation of railroads, by routes and systems, and of highway '! waterway trans portationwhich would make for maximum service al minimum cost. And 'this is the most promising lead to ward solution, that has so far been suctfosled. The alternative lo such development is jjoveniment ownershiji or control which would be unsound in principle, and as experience of America and other nations has proved, ineffective and prohibitively costly in practice. The vast majority of the nation has already reisteicd its disap proval of government ownership, and its tried and proved leaders are against it. realization of what the alternative! ",,il,V:.'t .
