US. WILL HOLD
POSTAL WIRES
Burleson Declines Mackay S
Request for Imme-
date Return.

Replying to President Mackay's re-
quest for immediate return of the
Postal Telegraph Company to his
management, Postmaster General Bur-
leson yesterday declared this impos-
sible until Congress safeguards" the
interests of wire concerns, now under
government control.
Burieson said that to return the
Postal to private management imIne-
diately. as asked by Mackay. would
give that company an unId.r advan-
tage over competitors.
BurIeson's Telegram.
Burleson's telegram follows:
rReplying to your telegram, thir-
tfeth, you are advised that the public
interests requires that the telegraph
and telephone systems now being op-
Grated under government control all
be handled as one proposition until
Congress takes some action with re-
spect to them.
ITO do as you request would result
in the wires under government con-
troll being in competition with a pri-
vate corporation in those parts OF the
country where traffic is most profit
able and leaving the burden of giving
to the public under a comprehensive
schedule of rates a nationwide serv-
ice, Serving the Improbable territory
as well as the profitable.
This would enable your corporation
TO take the profitable business and
continue to disregard the equally i'm
portant but more costly service for the
entire country.
"The interests of the public service
must be guarded before private inter-
ests can be considered The business
OF your company is in no way jeopar-
died by continued government con-
troll. and under no circumstances Will

Mackay's PROPOSAL.
According to postoffice officials, the
Postal Telegraph Company has Offices
mainly in large cities. where a ma
Jority of the commercial kilograms
originate. Their connections are not
numerous. it is explained. in out-of-
the-way sections where business Is
slack.
Officials therefore maintain that
10 give back the line of the Postal
company Immediately would put
that company in position to handle
the cream of the telegraph busi-
ness.
Mackay's proposal to BurIesOn
was that that the Postal was will
ing to take over its lines immedi-
ately without waiting for Congress
to pass legislation which. according
to Burleson's recent announcement,
Is necessary in order to insure both
Postal and Western Union against
loss as a result of Government con-
troll.

Constructive Banking Program

Bankers these days are rack
ing their brains how to improve
the service their institutions are
rendering the community.
There is no line of business or
community service that is so
highly organized to help the pub
lie today as banking.
Bankers are studying how to
reach out the helping hand to
legitimate enterprises and efforts
at community building.
While there is strife between
capital and labor, there can be
no free movement of capital into
industrial development. But there
is a constructive line bankers are
taking thought upon and that is
the encouragement of capital
going into the housing situation.
During the war period all
building not absolutely necessary
was discouraged and there is to-
day a shortage of at least a mil
lion homes in our country. This
means that a thousand million
dollars must go into new houses
or on an average Of sixty million
dollars in each state and banks
must furnish the capital.
There are plenty Of building
lots, plenty of material in the
lumber states of the west, and
there is going to be plenty of
labor this coming winter unem-
ployed. What better line can
banks take up thanhelping clients
with capital or credit, to finance.
plan and erect buildings that are
needed by the score in every
community?

World Peace and Industries

Earliest possible ratification of
the Peace Treaty and covenant
: of League of Nations is of utmost
Importance for the stabilizing of
industries and extension t

Pending the battle in the Sen

a small handful of ambitious
men under the leadership of
western radical progressives, in
dustries are not expanding ard

Taking Oregon as a guide,
where senators are elected by
direct vote of the people since
ten years, both senators, one a
Republican and one Democrat,
both prominent on committees,
are supporters of the Treaty.
With European nations need
ing peace and reconstruction,
with Great Britain under the
stress and strain of industrial
revolution, with our own country
breaking up in mobs and strikes,
~ 10 ri ma RI OCT
The early ratification of the
Treaty and League of Nations
will mean a great international
steadying hand placed on the
shoulder of discomfort, and a
club to use against bolshevism
and anarchy.
Ask the most radical socialist
or mos st vicious bolshevist
what h e thinks of the Peace
Treaty and League of Nations
he will tell you it is the one thing
to be defeated if the world is to
be Russianized.
In the name of peaceful deve
lopment of our great nation, for
the resumption of world COM
merce on normal basis, the high
est patriotic duty before Ameri-
cans is to lay aside partisanship
