PHONE OWNERSHIP
Will Also Take Up Government
Control of Telegraph in
His Annual Report.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau

| Washington. Dec. l0.-One Of the i'm
| portant subjects Ia be taken up in the
annual report Of the Postmaster General
will be government ownership Of the tele-
phone and telegraph systems Of the
| United states, and, as already told in The
| Tribune. there are strong indications that
the President will give the administra-
tons support To legislation providing for
the preliminary steps toward acquiring
the utilities for the expansion OF the pos
tai service.
| Postmaster General Burleson was at the
White House to-day and discussed the
subject, but he talked rather Cuardedly
| for publication. saying that his mind was
still open. He also stated that the Presi-
dent has not yet reached decision in
the matter. but is awaiting the result OF
several Investigations which are being
| conducted with his approval, II not at his
direction.
THE question IS very broad" said MI.
Burleson. but there is n widespread feel
| ing that this step is the logical successor
to the parcel post and our improved pos
| tai system. The people want the best,
and naturally they desire the speedest
| methods Of communication with each
| ton that does not have control at least
| In part Of these utilities.
$50 far as I am concerned, my mind is
open on the problem. end IL Will remain
open. / have talked the matter over with
the President, and he also has an open
mind on the subject. We are inyestigat-
ing and there will be no hasty action,
but believe that eventually we will ar
rive at decision on the subject that will
meet the will OF the people.
II shall have something 10 cay about
this subject in my annual report. For
instance. | had two long talks with Her
bert Samuels. head Of the English postal
system, on tho subject. lie told me Just
how they work this out over there. We
are having an investigation of govern
ment ownership OF these utilities made in
all other countries.

liking over properties valued at any
where from sl0O000,000 to $500 OOO,O 900
and the problems that are involved in ad-
minsternR them we must make haste
slowly. When am ready to make a rec
concentration on the subject desire TO be
able TO do so in such manner as will
meet with the approval OF the members
Of my own party, who are In control of
legislation on Capitol lin.
'"rhe phenomenal success Of the parcel
post has met with the unqualified APP
proval Of the people. This proposed plan
Is considered by many as the next step.
