Asks Immediate Reply
I venture to think that there is an
important expansion of service await
ing combined and extended American
cable system and that the great indus
trial and commercial interests of this
country aer entitled to increased facili-
ties for cable communications with for
e'gn countries. believe this can be
accomplished by u-rned action and
when the advantages of such an ex-
pansion have been 30 demonstrated as
to be understood by the public.
Because of the limited character of
American cable systems, the business
interests Of the United States are at a
distinct disadvantage in netting the
competition of foreign countries in ex-
port trade, since the business interests
OF our competitors sre essentially as
sisted by the comprehensive character
of their cable systems.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-With the
introduction to-day of bill giving
Postmaster General Burleson power to
retain the telegraph and telephone
lines after the peace treaty is signed,
and the statement by its sponsor,
Chairman Noon Of the House Postoffice
Committee,s that President Wilson ap-
nroved the hill before going abroad,
The third important step toward gov
srnment Urn ownership or State socialism
has been made by the Administration
in the last week. Incidentally, all have
been given their first publicity since
the President addressed Congress De-
cembor ..
These three steps, which alarm oppo-
nents of government ownership and
even advocates of state socialism, who
do not like the present operation of
either the railroads or telegraph, are:
/. The McAdoo proposal that the
railroads shall be continued for five
wears under the present system of
governmental operation and respon-
sibility, although private ownership,
with no control or responsibility, is
maintained.
Federal Packing Control
.. The Federal Trade Commission
proposal for an appropriation of half
a billion dollars TO take over for the
government operation and owner
Ship the packing industry This is
set forth in bill introduced by
Mr.. Sims.
8. The Burleson proposal made
through Mr.. Moon, for permanent
government ownership of the tele-
graph, telephone and cables.
All three projects have the ap-
proval of President Wilson, given
either by wireless or before he
sailed, although in his message to
Congress on the state of the Union
last week the President entirely
ignored two, and on the third, the
railroad problem, said he had no
solution and asked the counsel of
Congress.
Incidentally. all three proposals are
due for rough shedding in Congress,
and particularly in the Senate. The
opposition to the McAdoo proposal in
the Senate is so unanimous that sew
eral Senator's inquired eagerly to-day
who vas the one Senator mentioned in
The Tribune this morning as favoring
the plan. The repor that there is one
Is based on excellent authority.
