Private mOnopolies tending TO pre-
vent the development of needed fa-
ciiities should be prohibited. Govern
ment owned facilities wherever pOSSi-
BILE without uuduly 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 so
that theAmcrican reader may receive
Il wide range of news and the for
eign reader receive fun accounts of
American activities.
The daily press of all countries may
well be put in position TO contribute
to international understanding ny the
publication of interesting foreign
news Practical experience demon
strates the need for effective recog
milton of both domestic and interna-
tional radio operation If this newe
means of Recommendation is to b.
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
ever the degree of control deemed ad-
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 prvi-
leges.
Another Program.
Aviation Is inseparable from either
the army or the navy and the gov
eminent must, in the interests of ma
tional defense, encourage its develop
ment for military and civil purposes.
The encouragement of the civil devel-
opmcnt of aeronautics is especially
desirable as relieving the government
largely of the expense of development
and of maintenance of an industry,
now almost entirely borne by the gov
eminent through appropriations for
the military, naval and postal air
service. The air mail service is an
important initial step In the direction
of commercial aviation.
Ii has become pressing duty OF
the federal government to provide for
the regulation of air navigation
otherwise Independent and conflicting
legislation will be enacted by the va
rious states which will hamper the
development of aviation. The national

recommended the establishment of

mendation ought to have legislative
approval.

The army air service should be con

agencies of the government In the
establishment of national transconti-
mental air ways, ana in cooperation

World War Veterans.
The American people expect con
gress unfailngly to voice the gratitude
of the republic in Il generous and prac-
teal way 10 its defenders in the World
war, who need the supporting arm of
the government. our very immediate
concern is for the crippled soldiers
and those deeply needing the helping
hand of the government.
Conscious of the generous intent of
congress and the public concern for
the crippled and dependent, / invited

committee promptly reported the chief
difficulty to be the imperfect organ

same lack OF coordination which him

undertakings, less noticed because the
need for prompt service Is less APP

This committee has recommended,

you with cordial approval, that all gov

placed under one directing head, so
that the welfare of these disabled sur.
