The tabulation . . . comparing the year 1945 the end of the route to Tokyo Day with 1939 the year in which ominous war clouds cast their im pending gloom - -vividly portrays, not only what our company's expansion has been throughout the years of its war effort, but also the impact ol this ex pansion oo its major oper ations. "The phenomenal de velopment of the Pacific Coast with its tremendous strides In commerce. In dustry, military and naval activities has placed, and will continue to place, ex acting demands upon our company. With the nation wide interest in this far flung section with its rap idly expanding markets and its outstanding growth potentialities, our com pany will experience in the immediate years ahead, as they are now visualised, an unprecedented expansion. "Our Immediate task ahead is to render sen Ice to all who want it and to restore, and to take our service to new heights, As It announced December last, in the imme diate five-year period our company will be required to make expenditures for new con struction aggregating $400,000,000 and, as a consequence, extraordinary amounts of new capital will be required. The execution and speed oi this entire program are de pendent upon the flow of available man power, mate Hals, money and the level of business conditions. The consummation of the program for 1946, now well under way, will require. It is estimated, an all-time high expenditure of upwards ol 90,000y 000 for new construction. This compares with the $ MOO,000 expended in 1945. In clusive of materials re-used, the gross plant a.M.tiom for 1946 ate estimated at well over $100,000,000, This expenditure will be more than double the 1945 gross plant additions of $4. 791,000.

Oar program will offer employment opportuni ties to many men and women Dot only la the manufacture, construction and imcajls tjon of the added plant, but also in the maintenance and operadoo of a continu ously improving and expanding service. Our vast undertaking wilt require for its accomplishment earnings that an sufficient to attract the huge sums of new capital needed. Expressing as It does a fundamental significance lo every dry, town, village and hamlet throughout the Pacific Coast, tha consummation of our unprecedented pro gram will result In increasing the plant in vestment of our company by almost 30 per cent, bringing Its total plant in vestment to an amount aggregating upwards of a bil lion dollars. The era of tremendous expand no that our company has now entered places re sponsibilities of the trst magnitude upon our esanagctnem. Vfe go forward with a inn faith that a telephone service rendered well will continue to be well received, la our company's following out its ntahlisbed policy to furnish the best possible service; to render the service as economically as possible; to charge for the service only an amount lo keep our company finan cially vigorous It is ol vital importance that its earnings be such that they will continue to attract tha necessary amounts of new capital needed to accom plish these objectives. Earnings that are adequata arc in the public interest, because earnings that are less than adequate neces sarily jeopardize the effi ciency and the scope of tha service. Thus, our com pany and tha public it serves have a common in terest. In full recognition of that interest, the charges for the service rendered should reflect a fair treat ment policy expressed in rates which, at all times, will be such that sound economic considerations will prevail in the interest of all parties the patrons, the employees and the in vestors. "A successful nation is a prosperous na tion, la order to increase and to sustain tha production which is vital to that prosper ity, business and industry must, of neces sity, prosper as must their personnel who, through the dedication of individual effort, contribute to the forward march of Amer ica, This fundamental concept, the recogni tion of the dignity and worth of the indi vidual and tha value of free enterprise, with equal opportunity or all the Amer ican way of life has produced the highest standard of living among all peoples. Prog ress has been the measure of the welfare ol our greet Nation it will be the earnest en deavor of our company, as it has been la the past, to render a communlcatioo sero tea, which through Its scope, efficiency and dependability, will continue to make its full contribution tn that progress." 134 E.
