[section]

Mr. Frank Pick, Managing Director of the “Underground” group of British railway companies, and recently elected President of the Institute of Transport, made some thoughtful comments upon changed attitudes in transport in a recent speech.

“The Road vehicle,” said Mr. Pick, “as a serious element in the provision of a complete system of transport, was practically non-existent prior to the War, but to-day there is in existence a very considerable system of transport represented by road vehicles, and a system which has never yet been made a consistent part of a complete scheme of transport for the country as a whole. It has grown up by itself; it has grown up alongside the railways, and the time has come when those engaged in transport should ask themselves whether it ought not to be made a part of that one system of transport which is all the country can afford in these impoverished days.
