Road and Rail Transport in Britain
PROBLEMS MUST BE FACED
(British Official Wireless.) Received Wednesday, 9.30 p.m. RUGBY, Feb. 1.
The question of road and rail transport and tho consideration of the policy in regard to the proposals of tho Royal Commission presided over by Sir Arthur Salter is understood to have been before tho sub-committee of Cabinet to-day. Tlicro is a widespread feeling that decisions of problems arising from tho development of roads in competition with railways cannot be further delayed without adverse effects on the transport industry itself and industry generally, and the Government will bo questioned on this subject immediately Parliament resumes. Speaking on the Salter report, Sir Josiah Stamp, one of tho railway members of the Commission,.said it was regarded in tho public mind mainly as a measure for the protection of tho railways. It was much wider than that and went to the root of a balanced economic life free from hidden subsidies to particular interests and affected the whole trading community.
