ROAD AND RAIL
j ENOUGH WORK FOR BOTH j Referring to the Road and Rail Bill at a luncheon given by the Industrial ; Transport Association in London, Mr Oliver Stanley, Minister of Transport, said that it was his desire that there 1 should be a cheap, regular form of transport. That cheapness should be based on efficiency, and scientific development, and shopld be made use of to the fullest extent. Cheapness, however, which was based on an eco-
nomic war, could only end in bringing all the competitors to economic ruin, and would be no advantage to the consumer or producer, lie denied that the Gpvernment had been prejudiced in favour of the railways because of the shareholders who had invested their money in them. The railways had always played, and would always play a great part in their transport.' system, and he was confident that when prosperity returned the increased demand lor transport would be enough for both road and rail.
