WILSON NOT URGING
FEDERAL WIRES BILL
Hasn't spoken Yet, and Govern
ment Ownership Isn't Adj
miniStratiOn Measure.
STATEMENT BY BURLESON
Report TO Senate Covers Post
Office, Telegraph and
Telephone situation.

WASHINGTON, March S.--A statement
was made tonight by authority of Post
master.Oenerai Burlcson that Govern
ment ownership OF telegraph and tele-
phones cannot yet be- regarded us an
Administration measure"
good deal OF Significance is attached
to this statement. inasmuch as the Post.
master General In his first annual report
made an argument favorable 10 tho pur-
chase OF the telegraph and telephone lines
by tho Government. urging that they be
operated as a part OF tho postal service
After the publication Of the repor, a NUM-
Der OF Government ownership bills were
introduced In Congress, notably one BY
Representative Lewis Of Maryland. au-
thor Of the parcel post law
An effort was made to create the i'm
preston that the Lewis bill had the APP
provai Of the Administration. However.
the House Post Office Committee has re-
fused So far to aid the Lewis bill or other
measures OF a like character and tho IN
dications are that no action will be taken
at this session Of Congress on the pro-
pcsal that the Government acquire the
telegraph and telephone lines
Until to-day there had been no official
statement az to President Wilson's at
;itude on the matter. Advocates OF the
policy had insisted that the President IA
vored Il. on the other hand. opponents
OF the plan asserted that President Will
son had not made up his mind as to the
ACCESSIBILITY Of SO extending the opera
lions OF the postal service.
The attitude Of the President is set forth
In a report about to De made 10 the
Senate by the Post Office Department In
response to a resolution. In this report
Mr.. Burleson ieiterates his arguments
for Government ownership. lie says among
other things
THE private operation OF the telegraph
ana telephone facilities has resulted In a
virtual monopoly by which the people
are annually taxed vast sums for which
they receive no adequate returns"
The report contains "a mass Of statistical
matter on Government ownership. together
with the draft Of a bill proposing to con-
denim. acquire and operate the telegraph
and telephone lines. The report says In
part:
Government ownership OF telegraph
and telephones cannot yet be regarded -
an Administration measure. President
Wilson has expressed no opinion or ,nten-
ton regarding 1t and II is noteworthy that
the suggestion Is made In the matter sub
mitted by Mr.. Burls son that the tentative
draft Of the bill proposed be submitted to
ties with a view to securing valuable as
sistance In duly safeguarding the inter
ests OF the Government, and OF the owners
OF the properties affected"
