The wheels of wealth will be slowed by all difficulties of transport, at whatever points arising, as a carriage is by the roughness of the roads over which it runs."—John Beattie Crozier.

Association Election Plans Revealed

THE Associated Road Operators plan of campaign for the forthcoming General Election has been finally agreed at a meeting of area organizers. The policy is to be strictly .non-party.

A questionnaire has been sent to all area chairmen and to• each organizer, and every candidate for Parliament is to be personally interviewed to ascertain his yiews regarding the industry. Where a candidate supports the Association's policy, efforts are to be made to obtain a short statement to that effect for publication in the local paper. If he-does not desire to make a public statement, his views are to be forwarded to A.R.O. headquarters.

At as many public meetings as possible candidates will, according to plan, be asked one or more questions based upon the official questionnaire.

Several thousand posters are to be exhibited and leaflets are to be distributed at public meetings throughout the country. Where a candidate openly supports road transport, it is suggested that posters announcing that fact should be attached to as many vehicles as possible in the district.

The A.R.O. election plans have, we understand, the full support of the Roads Improvement Association and the Professional Drivers' Association. This matter is also dealt with in a leading article in this issue.

A , series of leading questions, for submission to Parliamentary candidates, has been prepared by the Commercial Motor Users Association. These seek, amongst other things, the candidate's support for the right of manufacturers and traders to a free choice of alternative means for transport and his opposition to legislation and taxation adversely affecting road transport.
