Eating His Cake and Having 1t

HE Postmaster General seems disturbed
over the fact that the country miscon-
strued his order returning the management
OF the telephone and telegraph services to
their owners. Some people, he tells the Sen
ate. were foolish enough to assume that his
order meant that he had voluntarily released
, these properties, when, as matter Of fact
all ne did was to pass the responsibility for
their operation. for the settlement OF their
labor troubles and for their service to the
public, to the wire officials, while he con-
tlnues TO run the works, to exercise full con-
troll over them and dictate their policies
This seems to be a case OF eating hia cake
and still having 1t, phenomenon that ia
rare indeed. The corporate companies must
hold the bag but the government holds the
corporate companies. This is one OF the most
skillful examples Of passing the buck that
has come to popular notice in a long time,
fact which the Senate Committee on Inter
STATE commerce promptly recognized and APP
preciatively comm ted upon when he brought
out the Kellogg bill surrendering the systems
at once
Just what the Postma ster-G neral has
gained or expected to gain by this move is
good deal OF mystery. 1t must be obvious
to any one that no employee Of a wire COM
pany now knows to whom he liz responsible
to whom he must report or to whom he must
answer for his failngs. He may assume that
ne is once more working for his old boss.
The boss will be at the old desk and things
VIII have pre-war appearance but once
that employee begins to investigate he will
find that the old boss. after ALL is but
hgurehead set up by the Postmaster General
TO arrange for brighter day ahead
10 the average mind, it would seem that
Mr.. Burleson has succeeded only in adding
another measure TO the confusion and de-
moraization which existed, and has existed.
from the start, in the Federal operation OF
the telephone and telegraph companies. 1t
is difficult to understand why he should sur
render the properties on a pieoemeal basis.
and why he should not have left bad enough
alone until he was ready to withdraw entirely
from an unfortunate situation
But the period OF government control will
not be protracted. The Senate bill has been
favorably reported. 1t will come I'D for de-
bate during this week. and there is good
reason for believing that 1t will not remain
on the calendar many days. Neither Demo
Gratis nor Republicans have any inclination
