It is proper to invite your attention
to the Importance of the question of
radio communication and cables. To
meet strategic, commercial and politi-
cal needs, active encouragement should
be given to the extension of American
owned and operated cable and radio
service.
Between the United States and pos
sessions there should be ample com-
munication facilities providing direct
service at reasonable rates. Between
the United States and other countries
not only should there be adequate
facilities, but these should be, so far as
practicable, direct and free from
foreign INTERPRETATION. Friendly CO.
operation should be extended to inter-
national efforts aimed at encouraging
improvement of international commun-
~ication facilities and designed to
further the exchange of messages. Pri-
vate m~onopolies tending to prevent the
development of needed facilities should
be prohibited. Government owned
facilities, wherever possible without
unduly interfering with private enter
prise or government needs, should be
made available for general uses. Par
ticularly desirable is the provision of
ample cable and radio services at rea-
sonable rates for the transmission of
press matter, so that the American
reauer may receive d wiue range o'
news and the foreign reader receive
full accounts of American activities.
