New Deal proof the expansion gram go on, It comes more and evident that Legislation more the session of congress convening In January Is due to take up the question of railroad legislation. Its nature Is yet undetermined. Its scope Is still veiled In secrecy. There Is the certainty, however, that the Roosevelt administration Is prepared to pre- sent proposals, dealing In a new way with the railroads of the country. The first intimation of this probability came recently through a visit to the President by Joseph b. Eastof railman, federal roads. Mr. Eastman let It be known after an extended conference with the President that railroad legislation was being drafted, and that It would be presented to congress with the request that It be placed near the top of the must legislation desired by the President. Since Mr. Eastman's visit to the summer white house at Hyde Park, New York, however, It has been next to Impossible to discover additional facts respecting the railroad program being worked out by the brain trusters and Mr. Eastman. On unquestioned authority, nevertheless, It Is made to appear that Mr. Eastman, or his professor aides, have an idea that there ought to be another member of the cabinet and that this member ought to be the On secretary of transportation. equally good authority it can be stated that the present plans programs under the New Deal have proved to be like railroad subject to change without notice are designed to give the federal government additional supervisory authority over the railroads. Indeed, some insiders claim that Mr. Eastman may go as far 83 proposing that the government buy the railroad properties and lease them back to the railroad corporations for operation. This phnse of .the program remains wholly undisclosed beyond rumor and gossip, but it seems proper to say that, thus far, there has been no denial Issued from any responsible quarter. It Is my understanding that numerous groups in the country are organizing for a bitter fight. It is well known, of course, that the railroads themselves have reorganized their associations Into one solid and substantial agency which Is to act as their spokesman. Indications are that out of the movement by the railroad managements will come a trade body to be known as the American Railway Institute, which will serve 83 the spokesman for all of the railroads. Elans call for establishment of headquarters In Washington where the group will be in close contact at all times with the shifting trends of governmental maneuvers respecting the railroads. time-table- s, nance corporation, thus using government credit to tide them over, A a result of these borrowings a belief has sprung np that the railroads are unable to finance themselves longer. Railroad corporation statements, however, seem to dispute this belief, but It Is always dillicult to offset argument of that kind. Government ownership advocates are using the argument and railroad executives find their case Is difficult to prove, because the average Individual does not understand the Ins and outs of such financial problems. On the side of the railroads, the argument Is being advanced that the carriers for the most part are In fairly good financial shape and that as soon as there Is any sign of recovery they will benefit by an Increased volume of traffic which, of course, means more revenue. The railroads claim further that there Is too much restrictive legislation anyway, and that additional steps by the government In the nature of supervisory control Is going to make their job more difficult If they are to earn sufficient revenue to pay their expenses. There Is still another phase of the railroad question that 13 causing some concern among students of the problem of transportation. It of InIs that, If the present set-uterstate Commerce commission control over the railroads Is disturbed, the chances are great that politics will again become Involved. I think most persons agree that the railroads have kept out of politics to a large extent In the last ten or fifteen years, but the students of transportation Insist to me that If such an office as secretary of transportation with cabinet membership Is created right then the railroads again will be In politics up to their ears. Politicians will not long overlook the opportunity to dig their fingers Into such a luscious situation. They will see how they can manipulate freight rates to the benefit of their own districts or states or other areas, they will likewise see numerous jobs, and politics without jobs sinks to a low ebb. It is thus made to appear, and In this statement I am voicing the consensus of numerous observers, that we are on the verge of a crucial decision. It Is one that mny mean as stated above, transfer of a gigantic Industry Into the hands of politicians or the framing of a scientific policy for the future. The forthcoming congress must decide. p The Agricultural Adjustment administration has just published a treatise on the AAA Expfamspian and philoso-Itse- lf Phy of the New Deal for American agriculture In the form of a booklet which Is entitled Achieving a Balance In Agriculture. In e Issuing the booklet the Adjustment administration at the same time released a statement describing the treatise as a statement in popular language of the principles of economies and social welfare which the Agricultural Adjustment administration has followed In carrying out the adjustment program In agriculture. The booklet Is being distributed In numbers running Into the tens of thousands as a means of getting the story over to the people. It was printed at government expense In the government printing office. The responsible officials in the Adjustment administration say the booklet Is Intended to place between two covers a complete story of what we are trying to do." Observers In Washington freely are saying that it Is one of the most elaborate documents to be released as a means of disseminating to the public the theories upon which a governmental activity Is based. Five chapters treat the historical backgrounds of American agriculture, the deelopment of the countrys economic system nnd emergency of the situation which brought forth the agricultural adjustment act. These sections are followed by an exposition of the powers of the Agricultural Adjustment adt, and an attempt then Is made to summarize thd gains claimed to have resulted from this experiment. Coupled with the certainty that there will be railroad legislation considered by the Federal forthcoming Bon oC congress is a strong renewal of activity among advocates of government ownership. In previous letters I have reported ownership advocates In and out of the administration were said to be working on plans for legislation designed eventually to result In federal ownership of the transportation systems. IIow far this has gone cannot now be stated. It can bo said definitely, however, that the movement Is gaining force and observers well acquainted with the undercurrent of government plans Insist that the railroads have a battle on their bands that is larger than the Immediate prospect of additional restrictive legislation. In some, quarters in Washington we boar the expression that the administration plans to seek enactment of regulation for the bus lines and other carriers that are in competition with the railroads. This has been tried several times before, but nothing has come of it because congress heretofore has refused to be serious about legislation for control of the bus lines operating over state and national highways. It Is to be recalled, though, that congress heretofore ha3 not been so subservient to the Chief Executive ns The has been the case since the New adjustment agricultural Deal became operative a yenr and act," the booklet says, Is based on a half ago.
