By Direction Of President,
Burleson Restores Them

Wire Systems Released
When Congress Passes
Legislation.
OTHERS TO FOLLOW

Government control Of the Ameri-
can cable lines will be relinquished at
midnight next Friday. May .
This announcement was made by
the Postmaster General last night.
following the receipt of cablegram
from President Wilson in reply to Mr..
Burleson's message of yesterday
recommending that the cables be
turned back to their private owners
not later than May 10
Wilson Directs IL.
Doubtless on authority of the same
order from the President. the Post
master General made the positive an
nouncement that ''the telegraph and
telephone lines will be returned to the
various companies as soon as legis-
lation can be secured from Congress
safeguarding the interests of the own
ers thereof" He announced that he
would recommend the restoration of
the land lines.
Prompted by the widespread sur
prise at his statement OF yesterday,
occasioned by the fact that it came
within such short time after the
recommendation in his annual report
that the telephone and telegraph lines
be taken over permanently by the
government at the conclusion of
peace. Mr.. Burleson declared he had
not changed his views with regard to
government ownership.
However. il has been apparent
for some time, he said. that his
views do not meet with the ap-
probation Of the new Congress.
such being the case, he sees no
other course to pursue than to re-
turn the land lines to their own
ers.
There Is quite a difference be-
tween government ownership and
government control for a very un-
certain period" says the Postmast-
er Generals statement. The pres
ent control affords no more a test
OF the virtues of government own
ership than could be had through
a temporary receivership in a court
proceeding"
The telegraph and telephone
systems of the country were taken
over by the government, under proc
lamation of the President, on July
81. 1918. The proclamation taking
