Things
are
more
important
than
people
to
the
United
run-down
railways.
Grimy
coal
trains
take
priority
over
crack
passenger
expresses.
Cross-country
and
suburban
passenger
services
have
been
cut
by
10
per
cent
to
facilitate
movement
of
freight.
And
lower
speeds
for
all
trains
may
sooni
complicate
the
problem
because

as

neither
as
is
the
legacy
of
seven
years
of
war
and
post-war
"austerity"
conditions,
Just
as
the
shortage
of
ships
and
commercial
air
craft
can
be
blamed
on
the
war.
At
sea
and
In
the
air,
however,
there
is
another
difficulty:
a
serious
loss
of
earnings
of
foreign
currency
that
would
help
thc
United
Kingdom
balance
its
unfavorable
trading
accounts.
The
February
industrial
shutdown
was
a
transport
crisis
almost
as
much
as'
a
coal
crisis.

But
thc
railways
arc
short
of
manpower,
rolling
stock,
and
timber
and
steel
for
roadbed
repairs.
Thc
first
two
shortages
arc
gradually
being
overcome.
Thc
roadbed
is
the
biggest
long-term
problem.
Before
the
war
thc
railways
used
4,300.000
wooden
tics
a
year;
since
1939
they
have
had
only
3,000,000
annually.
The
backlog
now
Is
nearly
10,000,000
and
to
wipe
off
thc
arrears
even
in
five
years
would
require
6,000,000
tics
in
12
months.
"There
is
not
the
slightest
chance
of
carrying
out
a"
program
of
tliis
magnlturc,
or
in
deed
anything
approaching
it,"
says
G.
R.
Strauss,
parliamentary
secretary
to
the
transport
ministry,
"It
may
be
necessary
to
restrict
railway
speeds
in
10.47-a
prospect
which
must
cause
concern,
but
safety
must
come
first."
Almost
12,000,000
tons
of
British
shipping
were
lost
during
the
war.
This
.was
partly
offset
by
new
construction

Thc
target
for
1947
has
been
set
at
1,250,000
tons
one-quarter
more
than
last
year.
A

a

and
the

There
is
no
lack
of
orders,
either
from
home
or
foreign
buyers,
although
building
costs
arc
about
double
pre-war.
But
the
shortage
of

timber
and
delays
In
manufacturing

from
scarce
materials
threatens
to
put

and
bring
it
the
prosperity

awaited

be
seeking
opportunity

place
for
the
