I believe there can be a form of radically reconstructed private ownership with such close government representation on the boards of directors, as will give the public and labor' all the benefit of government ownership and et the sagie time will preserve the benefits of private and self-interested Initiative, and will avoid the political difficulties which perhaps are inseparable from government ownership. "I believe that all the objects which I think must be achieved in order to obtain a permanent solution can be accomplished through the creating of • comparatively few railroad companies which will have •capitalization equal only to the real value of the property and which will have a moderate guaranteed return with the right to participate moderately In any-additional ^profits." ' ! ' To permit development of a comprehensive and permanent solution Mr. Hines renewed • Mr. McAdoo's recommendation for a five-year extension of government control and ex: plained th&t If this were not done ho belltfve<l\lt would be best for all Interests concerned to relinquish government control without waiting for expiration of the 21-month period provided by existing law. Discussing the reason for taking more time few considering legislation, he sal^: "A very strong feeling prevails that this question is being pushed now by the railroad executives because they feel- that the "going" is particularly good and that they had better make private . management hay while the anti-government ownership sun continues to shine. I do not believe a solution in this spirit* Is going to satisfy the public." So far as physical' operations are concerned, said the director general, there Is now no emergency which calls on the government to continue control of the railroads. rmm No** twsFrom ILLINOIS BRITISH FLEET TO VISIT U.
