FOR CONTROL Of
ALL WIRE LINES
Secretary Baker Urges House
Committee to Report ResoIu-
ton Empowering President
BIZ United Press

bu Untted PTesa
WASHINGTON, July Advocating
permanent governmet control of all
communication systems, Secretary of
War Baker today urged the house
commerce committee to report quickly
on the Aswell resolution empowering
the President to take over telegraph,
telephone, radio and cable systems.
Military control is not necessary
this minute" said Baker, but 1t may
become the next minute"
He urged the committee not to put
up any time limit into the resolution,
but to leave that for determination in
later legislation defining the term of
contract. the amount of payment, ana
other features of government arrange
ments with companies taken over.
'Tf I had my way wotfld not put
up any time limit either in this feso-
luton or in subsequent legislation to
the length of government control" !"
said Baker. EVERY time congress
does something / don't approve of, I
hope 1t will do better the next time.
/ did not approve of the time limit In
the railroad control bill. Hence l
hope no limit will be hxed in this
measure"
Baker emphasized the Importance
of giving the President, without de-
lay, all the power he needs, pointing
out that later legislation to which all
due deliberation may be given, can
take care OF the right of individuals
and corporations. Committee MEM
bers indicated this will be their argu-
ment to the House in urging speedy
passage OF the resolution-that 1t is
simply an empowering measure and
that congress will later be able to ex-
ercise the fullest supervision over the
details of government control.
Representative Lunn, New York.
began q fight TO get his resolution taxi
ing over the telegraph and telephone
lines before the House ahead Of the
Aswel Resolution khich is backed by
President Wilson. Both resolutions
are worded in a similar manner. ex-
eept that the Lunn resolution empow-
ers the Secretary OF War instead of
the President 20 take over the lines.
Lunn plans 10 change this by commit
tee amendment. Lunn introduced his
resolution several weeks before Aswell
and claims priority.
