Atlantic Deeper WaterwaysAssociation,in Convention at Richmond,Va.,September 15,1926.  \nMr.President,Members and Gwests of the AtlanticDeeper Watertcays Association:  \nUnder modern conditions of industry andsociety,transportation is as vital to the life ofthe country as the circulation of the blood isto the life of the human body.In all questionsrelating to transportation,therefore,the publicinterest is of paramount consideration.What-ever reluctance may have been manifested inthe past in admitting the correctness of thatviewpoint,the railroad managers and ownerstoday accept it,the only qualification beingthat the private property rights of the rail-roads deserve the same fair treatment,con-sideration and protection,at the hands of thelaw and governing bodies,as are accorded toother forms of property.  \nIf the public interest in transportation comesirst,then it necessarily follows that the publichas the right to expect and demand from everyform of transportation the maximum serviceand utility of which it is capable.This neces-sarily means that every form—railways,high-ways,waterways and airways—shall be de-veloped and extended in the field for which itis best fitted.Conversely,it is uneconomic,and against the public interest,to develop anyform of transportation in a field for which someother agency of transport is distinctly betteradapted.  \n●●  \nAny discussion of the proper relationshipsbetween motor vehicles and railroads,if it isto reach sound conclusions,must be upon thebasis of these general principles.  \nUnited States a  \nRailroad-Made Nation  \nThe United States,as it exists today,wasliterally made by the railroads.One hundredyears agoat the beginning of the railroad era,its population was barely one-tenth of what itis at the present time.The national wealthin that day was probably little,if any,more thanone per cent.of the five hundred billions whichnow represent the estimated value of our visibleresources.  \nIn the early 1830's the Allegheny Mountainswere the frontier.There was a thin fringe ofsetlement on the Gulf Coast,a few footholds  \non the Pacific Coast and scattered,meager out-posts in the country tributary to the GreatLakes and the navigable waters comprised inthe Mississippi-Ohio-Missouri River system.In the next few decades,however,the buildingof railroads changed all this.The lines werepushed forward far in advance of movement ofpopulation,and were the actual physical meansby which the great inland empire of Americawas created,stretching from the AlleghenyMountains to the Coast Range.  \nToday,with something over six per cent.ofthe world's population,we have about fortyper cen","cbCaifOx8volAPjc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifOx8volAPjc","pdf",386394,"English","# Motor
