To my mind the advantages of the above suggestion are:-
(a) A return to commercial operation even if only in
theory, is a very important psychological step towards restoring normalcy.
(b) The facilitating of an actual return to Commercial Operation as soon as sufficient Civilian Staff are available to take over.
(c) It promotes co-ordination and allows Government
to adjust rates in accordance with general policy. A Company could be operated at a loss such loss to be borne by Government if this is considered advisable in the interests of keeping costs of living down during the Rehabilitation Period and until normal supply and demand enables prices to find their true level.
(a) It will provide Government with a vast amount of
information which may prove invaluable towards shaping the future policy of the Colony.
(e) From a shareholder's point of view it places the Company on a profit basis - enabling start to be made towards providing for long-term commitments.
