Consolidation of all the railroads of the United States into a few large systems from 12 to 25 as m possible -solution of the na tion's railroad problem, is opposed by Robert S. Lovett, former president of the union Pacific railroad, in a memo randum to congress made public here today. Judge Lovett, for a time, was director of the division of capital ex penditures of the government railroad administration under William G. Mc Adoo as director-general. The effect of the proposed consolida tion would be. in his-opinion, to "im pair the credit of the strong road, in stead of improving, the- credit of the weak road. The inevitable effect would be to reduce the. average of the credit of all the railroads." Pewer of Congress Challenged. 'Congress," he asserted, has no right to compel one railroad to consolidate with another. It may give one the right to acquire the property of the other.by condemnation, but it must pay for it and, here is the difficulty, pay for it In cash. The underwriting of a fabulous amount must be provided. Will con gress appropriate the billions neces sary? Have we bankers enough to pro vide the money except through a series of years? And what wiy happen to the financial welfare of the country in the meantime? My Judgment is against the consoli datlon of all the railroads of the coun try into a few companies, because I believe the companies will be too large and unwieldy for efficient and econom ical management. "I believe that the absorption of-some of the weak lines by the strong lines, upon fair terms, should be promoted by the companies in service and faclli ties should not only be preserved, but should be extended. ' Pool of Earnings Opposed. - Judge Lovett also opposed the plan which has been discussed, for pooling the net earnings of railroads by divid ing them into groups and establishing rates sufficient to. yield S per cent or some other specified return on the book value of each group, learnings in ex cess of the average, he pointed out, would be set aside for the unprofitable roads that earn less. Suggestion put forward by many financiers and railroad men that the government should guarantee fair divi dends on the full alue of the railroads and leave the marageraent in. the hands of toe railroad owners was character ized by Judge Lovett as impracticable because he did not believe the govern ment would take all the risk and none of the profits. If a small return of 2. 2 or 4 per cent were guaranteed; he said, this would not be sufficient to pay the interest on bonds already outstanding. "It would make dovrbly secure what is already abundantly secured," he continued, "but it would afford no collateral for new issues nor secure new loans.' "The importance of re-establishing railroad credit cannot be overestimat ed." said Judge Lovett, "but neverthe less, I am persuaded that no guaranty short of a return upon the full value of railroad property will be helpful to that end, and that a guaranty of ull value Is not practicable without govern ment operation, which I regard as be yond present discussion.
