WARBURG SAYSU.S.
HOLDS WORLD'SKEY

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. g.
That the United States will be the
most powerful financial nation in the
world and, as such, will share with
England the domination of world
commerce and world politics was the
prophecy made here today by Paul NJ
Warhurg. the New York banking au-
thority and former member OF the
Federal Reserve Board before the
convention of the United States Cham
Der OF Commerce.
''If I read Alright the signs OF the
times" Mr.. Warburg said, England
and the United States will be part
ners rather than competitors, in the
future-partners not of a close cor
poration to the exclusion of others. II
will be a partnership wide open for
any respectable new associate wish
ing to enter, or. perhaps, we might
more properly term them Joint trus-
tees with others, administering a
great public trust II there is to be
immediate and intense competition be-
tween their peoples, 1t ought to be on
this one and only ground: Who will
be able to save most in order to be
able 20 help most?
THE ownership of no. less than 49,
600, 000, 900 OF foreign government OBJ
igations-probably billions more be-
fore We are quite through-conveys
to the Government OF the United
States the possession OF master key
the foreign exchange
market for some years to come"

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
OF WIRE SYSTEMS URGED
BY BURLES0N IN REPORT

Permanent Government ownership
Of the telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS Of the country is recommended
by Postmaster General BurIeson- in
his annual report made public today.
THE experiences as a result of the
present war have fully demonstrated
that the principle of Government
ownership Of the telegraphs and teIe-
phones Is not only sound, but prac-
teal" he stated.
while such control is temporary
and will exist only until the ratifica-
ton OF the treaty OF peace, yet the
best results can be accomplished only
when these systems are owned by the
Government, made a part OF the postal
establishment, and operated solely
with view to saving the public and
not OF making profit or guaranteeing
returns on the investment"
The report shows that the Postoffice
Department did the largest business
in its history for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1918.
Excluding the extra revenue de
rived from increased postal rates,
which was credited to the Treasury,
there was a gain OF S14.T49. S45.SS in
the total receipts. Increases in eV-
penditures for the corresponding
period amounted to $4995. O1O.OT.
Increases in the volume OF mail car
ried. parcels post delivered, and postal
savings deposited are also noted.

STRONGLY URGED

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. g.
Creation Of . United States Board OF

The proposal Is that the members

Court, and that their relation to in
dustry should partake of the nature
of the United States Supreme Court
as related to law.
The accommodation was made by

Administration, speaking before the
