ACCORDING to reliable information received by Aims of Industry there is more opposition to nationalization from employees of the transport industry, particularly drivers, than the employees of any other industry threatened with nationalization by the Labour Party, and the general public is .becoming aware to an -increasing extent of the importance of nationalization as an election issue.
This news was given by Mr. Michael Ivens, campaign editor of Aims of Industry, at aluncheon in London on Tuesday of the Transport Association. Mr. Evens, referred to industrialists who " kiddedthemselves" that a. _Labour Government would not add to the industries under national control; he was convinced that in some way or other road transport would be taken over.
Commenting on Mr. Ivens' observations, Mi. K. A. McVeigh, Of the Ross Group of companies, said that (in disagreement with his directors) he believed that a Socialist • Government would Concentrate on more and more nationalization to distract attention from other activities.
Bridges Too Low
SPEAKING at the annual general meeting of the Chiltern area of the Traders Road Transport Association last week the divisional chairman, Mr. G. F. Page, said he found it absolutely fantastic that Britain should spend so much money on new roads only to find that very highload traffic, which should logically use them, could not do so because we were still building bridges too low for them to pass under even on the motorways.
It is estimated that there are 8,000 bridges in Britain, most which are too low for high loads to pass under, and the T.R.T.A. has received complaints from Hertfordshire that high-load traffic is being diverted around long country routes quite unsuitable for them; the highways committee is to investigate this.
