theoretical blueprint for nationalizing Can ados privatelyowned railways has been placed before the fed eral government The plan was advanced for use if the day should ever come when rail management decides railways are no longer commercial propositions It was outlined in an epilogue to the second report of the Mac Pherson royal commission on transportation made pu blic Tuesday The blueprint scLs out the possible reasons for private rall ways throwing in the towel and then spells out how and why the government might take them over The privately owned CPR would be the biggest railway in volvcd The CNR is operated by Crown corporation responsi ble to Parliament Their rcport cited three fac tors that bear heavily on the future of the railways public policy the pace of technologi cal change and the attitudes and abilities of management and labor to adapt in the face of increasing competition POLICY KEY FACTOR It laid heavy stress on the im pact of public policy in possibly pushing railways to commer cial collapse It would be indefensible for the state to force management to continue operations it man agement concluded that rail op erations can no longer maintain commercial position in com petition with existing or future modes of transport it sum situation ever arnso the government of the day must seriously and carefully evalu Iron Hand Of ate all the facts and then de

VICTION IN CRAWFORD TRIAL decision must be implemented by taking over from commer cial management only those parts of the then existing rail voy systems which are deemed necessary for nation at pur poses The report said it should be taken as axiomatic that the na tion would not attempt to run commercial rail transporta tion business alter the best bu siness leadership had been un able to do so BARS COMPENSATION There would be no need for the nation to recompense the owners or continue to bcar national debt on the basis of original railway investment The commission said that the federal treasury would have to bear the fixed costs of keeping the railway in operation even as skeletal transport system It would charge freight rates to cover outofpocket costs The nationalized rail system should be utilized fully in the movement of goods so long as the burden of cost to the pub lic treasury is not increased The commission said it re ported on the basis of possi his federal takeover of the rail ways only to show that dif ferent rationale must prevail then than under present compo titivo conditions In our view said the come missioners complete national ization of any mode of transport in Canada is not the best way to seek efficiency of services and optimum allocation of couross in transportation Martial Law Grips Guatemala lifter Killing GUATEMALA CITY Raul erslMartial
