RAILWAYMEN'S INTEREST
For the entire suceess in the running of the transport system of the country, by rail, road, sea and air, there must be of necessity complete eoordination, and that desirable stat-e of aft'airs can be brought about only by unilied eoutrol, states the New Zealand Eailway Oificers' Advocate, in dealing with the question of eoordination of transport. To railwaynien, it is pointed out, the matter is oue of the most serious with which they have ever been faced, and their economic outlook in- the future will depend to a very large extent on how the problem is dealt with. "The position as we see it at present- is fraught with disastrous consequences to railwaynien," the article adds, "and a real live awakening to the danger is long overdue. " One of the points made by the Advocate in -dealing with the question was that the justification for the running of a State transport system was, in the final analysis, provided only when it could be proved conclusively that it was superior to any similar effort that could be made by private enterprise. By making one branch of an industry successful at the expense of another was regarded as Gilbertian.
