 INSISTING ON
 WIRE CONTROL
To Ask That Telegraph and Telephone Lines Be Made
 Part of Postal Service.

Washington, Oct, ?, - Postmas- ter General Burleson, tn his forth coming annual report which he will submit to the President for the regu- lar session of Congress. again will recommend Government control of the telegraph and telephone systems, under the operation of his depart ment.
 Nothing during Government oper- alton of the wire lines during the war or since has shaken my faith tn the policy of Government ownership D and absolute control of the telegraph and telephone systems" said MT. Burlcson to a New York correspon- dent today.
 ''I shall renew my recor,Ga endahon for complete Government control During the time We had the wires we were not able to put into effect a single policy to demoustrate the wis dom of Government control because Of the uncertainty of the tenure,
 The monopolistic nature of the telegraph business makes 1t of vital . importance to the people that it be conducted by unseIfisn interests, and this can be accomplished only through Government ownership said Mir. Burleson,
 For years I advocated the Gov ernment ownership of the wire sys- tems and urged that they become g part of the postal establishment, as essential agencies of communication.
 As to the wisdom of this course I have not changed my views, At the time the Government took over the control of the wires extraordinary and abnorma! conditions existed, re- sultinE 3n 3 constantly increasing op- eratjnG cost, which necessarily con- tinue5- There ts quite a difference between Government ownership and Government control for q limited and very uncertain period.'
 Ru-leson will not try to force a Government control bill through Con gress- but will make his position clear. He believes the country will come to his view before many years, He would not say what he thinks the President will do about his resolu- ton.

BRITISH HAVE
 LITTLE USE FOR NEW BATTLESHIP

London, Oct. 9-The first of a new type of British cruiser. the Raleigh, launched few days ago, is expected to give the navy trouble to find her suitable work.
 The Raleigh is of 9,75O tons with a speed of 35 knots. She was design ed to hunt raiders such as the Moewe and the Wolf. She was given guns larger than the guns usually placed on light cruisers so she might be able to outrange any commerce raider the enemy might send out. Now that there are no Germain raiders, it is conceded by the navy that she is much in the nature of a white ele- phant, being too costly for a light cruiser and too light for service with a battle cruiser squadron
 The Raleigh is armed with 7.5 inch guns, provided with an underwater bulge designed to make her tor pedo proof, and is so diveded that any two of her main compartments may be flooded without endangerins the vessel. She has anti-aircraft guns an burns oil fuel only.

SERBIA'S POVERTY

An illustration of the excessive pow erty of Serbia is furnished by Dr. Delimier Stoykovich of the Serbian Department of Agriculture who is in America visiting agricultural schools and studying scientific methods of farming.
 One of the great needs of Serbia, he says, is to reconstruct and restock the 14 agricultural institutions which for merIy existed in Serbia. In general, animals, implements, and seeds are the requirements, but Dr. Stoykovich says that it would not be feasible for animals to be sent since there is nothing in Serbia to feed them through the winter.
 Our most important work for the winter" he says, Ifs to feed our chill dren."

GOVERNMENT 0F CHILE BATTLES
 AGAINST H.C.L.
May Adopt Gold Standard as Means of Combating
 High Prices.

Santiago, Chile, Aug. 2S-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press)- The Chilean government is endeav- Voring to relieve the pressure of the high cost of living by stabiIizing the rate of exchange. It has proposed the adoption Of a gold standard and that Chilean currency should be made con- vertible at sight. This would be at tended by the organiza tion of a cen- tral bank to act in the same way as the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States It is argued that this would put the economical resources of the country on q steady financial basis and eliminate the private spec ulation in gold which is felt to have much influence on the present ex- change rates
 The rise of sterling exchange is at tributed in part to an adverse balance of trade against Chile in 1918 to the amount of about $7,OO0,OOO. This difference has to be paid in gold, consequently the ~ peso declines in value.
 ChIeans have been affected by the increased cost of living like the rest of the world and there have been public demonstrations meetings or labor men and congressional debates on restrictions of exports of foodstuffs and upon providing work for the un- employed.
 Nitrate which is the main stay of Chilean industry, has been out of the market for several months owing to the slump in the dem-nd resulting g from the ending of the war and the scarcity of freight steamers. This threw thousands of workers out of employment. To meet this labor sit uation the government proposed measures providing for the expendi- ture of several million dollars in con- structton of highways and railways

Swift Says Report Of
u. S. Commissioner
Isn't Based on Facts

CHICAGO, Ill, July 30.-Louis f.
Swift. president of Swift d Co., re-
ferring to the report of the federal
trade commission said:
1.-The federal trade commission is
issuing it's report piecemeal appar-.
emily with the idea of keeping up
continuous agitation against the
packing industry. This latest broad
side. according to such report as [
have seen, repeats the same old
charges, contains the same misrep-
rcsentation and does our industry
the injustice as in previous reports.
I'm the ownership of SOCK yards
we are prou6. n the fact that we
have Improved marketing methods
and thereby encouraged greater
1--we stock production. AS every inn
partial student of the problem
knows, ownership of yards gives
packer no control of prices or trad
ing methods The whole contention
of the commission that we control
and manipulate prices is simply not
based on facts. Our fluctuating
profits, averaging only fraction of
a cent per pound of meat. and often
becoming losses for weeks at
time, alone refute this contention
1--WE have proved conclusively in
congressional hearings at Washing
ton that the trade commission can
support it's conclusions only by stoop-
ing to the distortion of fact and
suppression of vital evidence. 1t Is
shame that we should have to sub
nit to this sort of indignity from a
department of the government"
