REPUBLICANS OPPOSE

Opposition came principally from repub- licans. Senator Smith of Michigan ve-
 hemently declared government control of communication systems was a step to- ward socialism, with dangers of press censorship, while Senator Kellogg de- clared Congress is asked to act with ton or reasons for its enactment. Sen ators Borah and Harding also demanded Information regarding it's necessity.
 Amendments proposing to except tele-
 phone systems and telegraph wires leased by press associations from the resolutions operation were introduced by Senator Watson of Indiana.
 VIEWS OF UNDERWOOD
 Speaking in support of the resolution, Senator Underwood of Alabama said
 while President Carlton of the Western
 Union did not see the necessity for the government taking over control of the telegraph wires, he had stated if it was necessary the resolution in it's present shape was satisfactory to him. Senator Underwood argued the only
 question for decision was whether the
 President should be granted the discre.
 tionary right of wire control. Congress. he asserted, has set several precedents during the war for conferring such power
 Were there not then immediate con fronting emergencies?' asked Senatoi Watson.
 Not more than now" answered Sem
 ator Underwood, adding that the neces. sity of telegraph control might arise soon.
 TELEPHONE NOT INCLUDED Why does the senator omit the tele- phone?" asked Senator Harding T don't think there is any probability of taking over the telephone except in
 some seaports and then only for the mo-
 ment," replied the Alabama senator. Senator Harding suggested if there
 was no present emergency a thorough in
 vestigation should be made by the Sen ate or that the President should advise Congress of the alleged war neces- sitv,"
