Private m0nopolies tending 10 pre-
vent the development OF needed IA
eilities should be prohibited. Govern
ment owned facilities wherever posi- |
BILE without unduly interfering with |
private enterprise or government |
needs, should be made available for |
general uses. Particularly desirable
Is the provision of ample cable and
radio services at reasonable rates for
the Transmission OF press matter, 50
that theAmerican reader may receive
a wide range OF news and the for
eign reader receive full accounts Of
! American activities.
/ The daily press of all cOontries may
well be put In position to contribute
10 International Understandings by the
publication OF interesting foreign
news. Practical experience demon
strates the need for effective recog-
milton of both domestic and interna-
tional radio operation II this newer
means of INSTRUMENTATION is to be
fully utilized. Especially needful
the provision OF ample radio facilities
for those services where radio only
can be used. such as communication
with ships at sea. with aircraft and
with out of the way places.
International communication by ca-
BILE and radio requires cooperation
between the powers concerned. What

visable within the United States, gov
eminent licensing of cable landings
, and of radio stations transmitting
and receiving international traffic,
! seems necessary for the protection of
American interests and for the secur-
ing of satisfactory reciprocal privi-
leges.
Another Program.
Aviation is inseparable from either
the army or the navy and the gov

; The encouragement of the civil devel

n desirable as relieving the government
. largely of the expense of development
, and Of maintenance of an industry
Z now almost entirely borne by the gov
a eminent through appropriations fo
+ the military, naval and postal al
h service. The air mail service is al
o important initial step in the direction
of commercial aviation.
