HAULIERS were not afraid of competition because they realized that fair competition brought -efficiency, but

it was time the Government wakened up to the false position they were creating in transport. The country would need road haulage long after the railways had ceased to exist.

The Government should plan for efficient transport now by giving road transport a fair deal in taxation, and by a fair expenditure on the new and improved roads that the country required.

This was stated by Mr. R. G. Crowther. national chairman of the Road Haulage Association, at the annual dinner of the Yorkshire (Hull) area, at Hull, last Friday.

The Lord Mayor of Hull, Ald. H. kneeshaw, said the quick turn-round of ships at the port was due largely tollae efficiency of hauliers in clearing the docks.

Speaking at an R.H.A. dinner in Liverpool on Saturday, Mr. Crowther

said that with the existing political and economical influences, the future for road haulage could not be one of everlasting prosperity.

The Association had been, and was being, strengthened. In the past year they had had to devote more attention

than ever before to interworking. between members. Thai

was an aspect of their activity w hi ch must necessarily develop, particularly among longdistance hauliers.
