By EDWIN W. LONDON.—{By Mail}-The motor lorry and the railroad are in the first phases of a life and death struggle for existence as the predominant means of transportation in England. The odds are in the former's favor. The next few decades, perhaps the next decade, will determine whether England's internal commerce is to moye largely by means of an’elastic, all-encompassing motor transport sys- tem, or stick to the present railway system, connecting the larger dis- tributing points. Transportation men in both camps admit that the fight is on. The issue really dates back to the big railway strike in 1919 when the food ministry webbed the entire island ‘with an elab- orate motor transport system which worked far in excess of expectations. That demonstration showed not only that a new method of transpor- tation was possible but that on ac- count of the peculiar topographical ut of England, the new system might be even better adapted to the needs of the island than railways. Motor advocates immediately got busy on the development of a perma. nent system, first as auxiliary to the railways and later to enter into open competition, with the hope of show- ing. them into the’ background. here are many local conditions in nd which make the island a par- ticularly favorable test field for motor transport. nd is small. air, tion than to tontinued to dinced by the for the state. ordering them bes places within She the road system in Europé, © The haul is short.

A third means of freight, transport is also looming up in. the form of canals. Next to Holand, Eng)and has the finest canal system in Europe. It already connects many of her largest cities and is capable of extension. Water always has been and. still is by far the cheapest mode of freight conveyance and Englad's canals could afford commerce an opportunity not to be ignored. Since the war certain big interests have become aroused to this possibil- ity and important improvements are already in progress along the exist- nt canal system, It will be extended and exploited in the future as a “third rm” of transport.
