MEXICO FELL PREY
To B0CHE WIRELESS
W|LES, SAYS NA[[Y
Radio Officials Testify To
Prevent [. S. Ownership
Of Properties-Claim %
Hun Plants In Mexico

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Officials
of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
Company of America appeared before
the house merchant marine committee
today to oppose the administration bill
providing for purchase and control
by the navy department of all radio
stations in this country. John w.
Griggs, president of the company; Ed
ward, Nally, president, and d.
Sarnoff,- commercial agent gave rea-
sons why they believed 1.-THE stations
should be left in private hands.
Mr.. Nally told the committee that
5 wireless stations in Mexico had
been under German control during the
war An investigation of the wire
less system in that country recently
completed by an agent of the Mar
conf company, he stated, showed that,
although the Mexican government
claims title to all wireless stations,
German apparatus is used and Ger
man operators were found in all of
them. He said the investigation also
disclosed that the whole system was
supervised by German experts.
Mr.. Nally explained the German
control of Mexican wireless by saying
that the Mexican constitution of 1916
provided for government ownership,
and he. added:
Mexico Easy Victim
"Carranza had little money and less
credit when he started to make i'm
provements, and it was therefore the
most natural thing in the world that
the Carranza government should fall
an easy victim to the wiles of the Ger
man Telefunken company when it Of
| fered to repair the old stations and to
finance and man them with competent
operators"
| Mr. Nally recommended to the COM
| mittee that the government be allowed
| to control coastal stations, which re-
| ceive and transmit messages between
ships and the land. but urged that the
| ownership of stations sending trans
oceanic or overland messages should
be allowed to remain in private hands.
He advocated a continuation Of gov
ernment control of radio stations.
Government ownership of the sta
tions was characterized by Mr.. Griggs
as unjust, confiscatory and menace
to the country as it would mean, he
said, that not a single private business
or press message could be sent with
out its passing through government
hands, thereby setting up an arbitrary
! censorship.
The committee was asked to revis,
the bill so that if passed it would pro-
vide for an arbitration board to de
eide upon the amount to be paid the
Marconi company. AS now framed
he said, the bill takes no considera
ton of the money spent during the
last twenty years by the company tC
make wireless communication practi-
cable. nor of the profits the company
might make in the future.

Big Questions Arise

PARIS, Dec. 1T.-Economic uueS-
tions are coming prominently to the
front in the discussions preliminary TO
the assembling of the intera1lied con-
ference. The main point hinges on
the appointment of Herbert c. Hoover
as director general OF relief for all
the allies and the United States.
The American plan for relief was
presented to the recent meeting of
the supreme war council in London,
but action on it was postponed. The
arrival of Premier Lloyd George and
Premier Orlando in Paris next Thurs
day will again bring these premiers
together, this time with President Will
son, and the deferred relief project
again will come up.
An amendment concerning raw ma
terials promises to be the main sub
ject of discussion. A number of other
questions also are involved, particu-
larly the use of merchant shipping
now in German ports for the distri
button of relief, and also the prompt
movement of American troops back
to the United States.
President Wilson conferred today
with Edward \. Hurley, the shipping
director, one of the subjects under
discussion being that of shipping for
the homeward movement of the troops
| During the last few days the foreign
governments have been cancelling the
| charters of ships used by the United
States in transporting troops, so that
the vessels might be put back in trade.
The presidents last engagement for
the day was with Marshal Foch, Civ
| ing the president the opportunity to
| see for the first time the man who
| led the allied armies to victory
Tonights program held only one

To Meet Year After Peace

The delegation is instructed to re-
port to the congress after its labors in
Europe are completed, and the presi-
dent of the congress is required to
summon that body TO receive a report
of the delegation not later than one
year after the treaty of peace shall
have been signed, and to transact such
other business as may come before
it.
Then came the adoption Of the fol-
lowing resolution
That the congress of American
Jews requests the peace commissioners
representing the United States of
America at the peace conference to
use their high and kindly offices to
the end that it shall be made a con-
dition precedent to the grant of au-
tonomy, independence or freedom to
any nation or land, that all the inhabi-
tants thereof shall have equal civil, DO
litical, religious and national rights.
without distinction of race or faith,
and that such rights shall be guaran-
teed to them and their descendants in
perpetuity.''
There was much debate over the
question of holding an international
conference, and it was finally decided
that the congress SHALL as soon as
peace is declared. instruct its Euro
pean delegation to take necessary and
effective steps. in cooperation with
the representatives of Jewish bodies
in other countries for the convening OF
a world Jewish congress.

UVTERMYER ADMITS
4 FRIENDSHIP WITH
HUN PROPAGA|uDIS7S

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Samuel
Untermeyer of New York. appearing
today at his own request before the
senate committee investigating beer
and German propaganda, said he was
present TO disprove the 1nuendoes and
implications before the committee,
that he was of pro- German sympathy,
before the United States entered the
war.
Mr. Untermyer said that he had but
few conferences with former German
Ambassador Won Bernstorff and added
that he had declined to act as legal ad-
wiser to the embassy, although other
lawyers had accepted fees for such
service. He said that before the United
States entered the war he had formed
the conclusion that it would not have
been to the best interests of civiliZa-
ton for Germany to have Won the war.
Mr.. Untermyer explained his nego-
tiations in 1916 with DR.. Hennerich f.
Albert paymaster of the German prop
aganda, for the purpose of the New
York Evening and Morning Sun, and
said that they were made with full
knowledge that Albert was attached
to the German embassy. He said the
transaction was to be purely business
one, and that it made no difference
to him then whether Albert secured the
money from Berlin. so long as control
of the paper remained with himself
and his associates.
Admits Dernburg Friendship
The witness told of his friendship
with DR. Bernard Dernburg, who left
the United States at the request of
President Wilson, because of his pub
lie speeches in defense of the sinking
of the Lusitania. He said he did not
believe Dernburg really believed all he
said about the Lusitanid, and that he
did not believe Dernburg approved
Germany's submarine warfare.
During the hearing today, the COM
mittee received a letter from Bradford
Merrill, editor of the New York
American, saying that Edward Lyell
Fox was not employed by the Hearst
newspapers, and that there was nc
record that Marshall Kelly had beer
employed by those publications Fox's
name frequently has been mentioned
at the investigation, in connection
/ with German propaganda, while Kelly
was said to have been sent to Balti-
more by German agents to attempt tt
negotiate for the purchase of the Bal
/ timore Sun.
After rerceipt Of the letter, Captain
George B. Lester, of the army intelli
gence service, who had mentioned thu
names of Fox and Kelly in his testi
mony last week, was recalled. He feat
/ into the record credentials which h
said were given Fox when the CORE
spondent went to Germany, and whicl
showed he was connected with tn
Hearst office there. Captain Leste
said that the information he gave tn
committee about Kelly was obtaine'
from the confession of former co
worker of Albert and DR.. Karl Fuehl
another German agent.
