BENSON PrtsideutMtrdiii) CtllCft State). Arkansas Ten Million Votes If one of the first steps of socializa tion government ownership should come now in this country, ten million voters would be added immediately to the payroll of the federal government. Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? Ten million votes could make quite a show ing on a Tuesday of any November. Mr. Wallace, or any other candidate, could go far with that kind of backing. There are approximately that many persons employed in the transporta tion industry in the United States. Transportation would be one of the first Industries to be marked for na tionalization, in this country as in Britain. This would Include water ways, airlines, and possibly our trucks and their drivers. (Note on airlines; the British Overseas Airways Corpo ration, government owned and oper ated, Is expected to show a $32 million loss I Is This Fantasy? Even in taking over American rail roads, a would-be dictator could get possibly 1,500,000 votes. There are that many people employed bypur rail roads. Not all of .them would vote the party line, at first. That would reduce the number of rail employees some what, until replacements were avail able. Of course, a new and revised form of WPA would be set up to ab sorb the unemployed. But even a WPA-er can vote. Either way, per haps, the government would appre ciate votes! Lest we carry this satire too far, I will interrupt by saying that such a mess as the above is not sheer fan tasy. It could happen here. The worst thing about it is that the general pub lic, and even many folks in the trans portation Industry, are unaware of the danger. Yet, economic collapse and consequent government ownership is quite possible. The nation would not have to go Communistic or be con quered by Russia for this to happen. Socialism, Quickly Yet, some of those who are closest to the transportation industry fear that collapse may come. The trouble lies in outmoded forms of Federal regulation. Too much bureaucracy can take us to socialism more quickly than we think. This setting of the scene for trouble goes back a generation. The nation has compromised on policies so long that the result Is a patchwork of rules and regulations that creates as much ln- I, efficiency as possible. Over 50 govern ment bureaus are charged with super vising some kind of transpo ration, with little overall coordination of pol icy. Actually, In event our common carriers find business no longer profit able, the government is already well prepared to begin the take-over. Elbow-room! The trouble is that despite the larg est Volume of peacetime traffic, too few of our common carriers are able to make enough profit to attract capi tal to the industry. If nationalization comes in this country, it may well come because private capital has dried Up as far as transportation is con cerned. ; : The problem is this: We must have efficient, low cost transportation, and we must have it the American way. At a time when our railroads, like other forms of transport, are trying desper ately to reconstruct themselves after an all-out job In wartime, we can HI affoM to shackle them with heavy tax burdens and other financial obstacles that prevent rehabilitation. As the president of one of our largest life in surance companies puts it: "Our ratl i '? j- -1 f '-I e"""v-r?m"V . '.
