RAILWAY TRANSPORT
ROAD AND AIR COMPETITION PROFESSOR HALLSWORTH'S SOLUTION Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, September 6. (Received September 7, at 9 a.m.) Professor H. M. Hallswortb, addressing the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in emphasising that railway transport was faced with increasing loss owing to competition by road and air, declared that the solution did not lie in forfeiting the development of road transport in the interests of the railways as practised in some countries where the railways were State owned, but in the creation of vast new transport-companies absorbing both rail and road services, as was contemplated in Ulster. The interests of the community should be safeguarded by limiting profits and the company should be subject to a public tribunal empowered to compel it to change its services and methods when the interests of the community dictated. Railways were still the backbone of the transport services.
