COMBINE WIRES,

Unificatiion System Sug,
gested in Letter to the
Postmaster General.

A comprehensive scheme for a uni
fed telephone. telegraph and cable
system in the United States has been
presented to the Postmaster General
by Theodore N. Vail. president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company.
In letter to Mr.. Burleson given
out by him yesterday. Mr.. Vail de-
clares for a unified system and sug-
gests legislation to make 1t possible.
Mr.. Vail would have a comprehen-
sive operating organization, under
one experienced executive head, sub
ject to the Postmaster General.
Three divisions under this head
are proposed. telephone service"
telegraph service" and 'mainte-
nance and manipulation of wires of
the systems" each to be under the
control of an experienced operating
head.
Increase in EmeIency.
Further details of the organisation
Mr.. Vail does not see necessary to
suggest at this time. He saws that
under 1t every experienced man in
the combined services could be en-
pIoyed to the limit of his capacity.
All the operations under this plan
could be so correlated" Mr.. Vail saws
and co-ordinated as too ring about a
very considerable increase in effi
clenSy and much. economy without
oolnS anything dist Irbing to the ac-
tual property or which could not he
unoone at the end of the period. Your
operating organization would at once
plan many things which would work
towards the end desired, and which
would not necessitate any destruc-
tive undoing at the end of govern
ment control"
Mr.. Vail also suggests combina
tion of the cables so as to distribrte @
the load.
Would Aid Commerce.
He also advocates extension of
the cables, particularly to South
America, and the establishment of a
cable manufacturing Industry in
this country.
Mr.. Vail says that German COM
merciai agents are already seeking
to re-establish pre-war conditions
in South America and urges the ex-
tension of cable communication to
assist American exporters.
The immediate and pressing ne
cessity," he says, 'is for the East
COast-South American Gable to give
this country and the River Platte
countries direct cable communica-
tion.
or what use in commerce will Oe
our investment of billions in ships
to carry commerce If we do not give

Need Called Urgent.
The proposed, cable industry and
the proposed cable changes could
not be brought about except through
government aid under existing con-
ditions.
Congress has authorized combi-
nation in foreign commercial en-
terprises. II the advantages and
necessities were properly presented,
it should be possible to obtain
promptly such authorization or leg

tinue Building on War

PLANS FOR l56 VESSELS
10 Battleships, E Battle
Cruisers and | 40 Smaller
Craft Advised.

Americas determination to possess
navy of constantly increasing
strength and efficiency-fully capable
of preserving and maintaining its
newly WOE position among the nations
of the worlds officially expressed by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels in his
annual report to the President made
public yesterday.
Notwithstanding the cessation of
hostilities and the approaching peace
conference, Secretary Daniels strongly
urges the continued upbuilding of the
navy, specifically asking for the au-
thorization of another three-yeaF~ con-
struction program to cost $500, 10000.
This substantially duplicates the
amount appropriated in 1916, when the
world war was raging in all its fury
and which constituted the first com.
prehensive building program ever au-
tEoTiZed for the navy
The new program, arranged to cover
a second three-year term. provides for
the construction of a total of 156 new
vessels. Ten of these are to be battle
ships ard six of them battle cruisers.
The other 40 vessels are not specified
in the recommendations. 1t Is simply
asked that they be OF types already
approved and in existence, or of new
types which may develop during the
life of the program. the details being
left to the discretion of the Navy De
partment
To Profit by Experience.
The Secretary adds that the new
ship construction should embrace
craft of every description which the
experience of the war has demonstrate
ed to be necessary to the efficient and
symmetrical development of the navy
Commenting upon his recommenda.
tions, he says:
THE new three-year program is &
continuation of the policy adopted In
1916 of increasing the navy, and con.
templates its steady upbuilding and
improvement. 1t is in line with the
policy adopted by this government
and which has met with the entire
approval of the American people, oi
building up a navy strong enough te
meet all requirements.
This program, il authorized By
Congress, as am confident it will
be, will give US sixteen additiona
capital ships which will be the equa
Of any afoat at the time they art
built. The battleships and battle
cruisers in the first three-year pro,
gram will be unexcelled by those oi
