A new era in United States transportation, with adequate regulation concentrating.in ensuring themost efficient service at the lowest competitive cost, is envisaged in the report of the National Transportation Committee, which was published on Tuesday night. The committee urges a sweeping consolidation of railroads on a regional basis to eliminato "the ' vast and wasteful duplications of facilities and services." The report sets forth ' that these .groupings should be enforced by Governmental action wheTe neecssary, looking eventually to a single national system. r The findings, which are tho result of more than four years' labour, most of it under tho late Mr. Calvin Coolidge, insist that inland ■ waterways should bo mado to pay their own w_y or be abandoned. The proposed St. Lawrence deep waterway, which is in the treaty stage between Canada and tho United States, should be built only if it can meet this test. The report is anxiously awaited by large investors in America's twentybillion dollar railway system.
