perts and later public hearings
these Senators are expected to Offer
the Congress and the country new
program for the improvement OF in
ternational communications - and
international good will.
This expectation results from the
rapid education the country has
received during the war on the SUBJ
ject of communications. 1t is now
generally accepted that there must
be adequate-and cheap-faclhtles
for the exchange of information
and ideas between this country and
every other country. The promotion
of trade and the promotion of peace
are seen to depend largely on the
development of such facilities.
Businessmen, thinking of foreign
markets, see the need; the press
and readers of the press, desiring
to forestall another world war; see
the need. Much has been written
and said on the subject.
One Sided Discussion.
The discussion thus far has been
one-sided in the sense that no real
opposition has appeared to the pro-
posal that the Government take
comprehensive action in the matter
and there is unlikely to be opposi-
ton to Chairman Wheeler's view
that the national policy should be
formulated before the end of the
war.
Most of the thinking at the pres
ent stage seems to have gravitated
toward recommendation made by
the Federal Communications Com
mission In 1910. This was for legis-
lation that would permit the con-
solidation of our international
radiotelegraph and cable carriers
into a single unified system. The
report said:
1.-The national public interest can
hardly be served by continuance
of the helter-skelter method of de-
velopment with its lack of co-ordi-
nation, it's weak bargaining posi-
tion, its useless Implications and its
failure to supply comprehensive
unified plan of international COM
munications.
The greatest guarantee of an
efficient, broad and secure American
international communication sys-
tenn lies in the combination of a
strong, thoroughly sound and finan-
cially successful concern operating
under strict governmental regula-
tions in the light of national needs. "
Effect of Merger.
Such a merger would bring II
concerns into one operation, five of
them cable and seven radiotele-
graph. To the facilities of these
companies could be added consider
able part of the vast wartime COM
muncations system of the United
States Signal Corps, said to be now
not only the most extensive in the
world, but by far the most modern.
There could also be added the new
physical facilities of the ONCE of
War Information.
Congress will determine whether
this shall be done, just as it will
determine whether there shall be
a merger of the existing companies.
Those who advocate such action by
Congress believe that with Ameri-
can facilities thus brought together
our Government will be in strong
position at the wars end to work
for a world policy of unhampered

Atrocity Stories

Whether stories Of German atrocl-

first world war or this n is not
definitely determined. Last time there
were many, and not all Of them We're
believed then and some were dis
proved afterwards.
But there seems to be no uncer-
talnty in this War about the Lidlce
massacres, or the holocaust at Lub-
lin. Now an American newspaper
correspondent comes with the story
of what ne actually say in one
French village he entered Just after
the Germans had left, and where
homes of the people We're still burn
ing from fires started from torches
applied by the desperate Nazis. and
where scores of innocent civilians had
been wantonly murdered by a brutal
enemy.
For some unknown reason Paris
was spared. But the records will
never reveal the full story of how
many men, women and little chill
dren were done to death by an
enraged and heartless military for nc
purpose or no gain whatever, except
TO satisfy a depraved mentality.
If the Nazis had the brains they
profess, they would be able to un-
derstand the futility of such conduct
and how it will all make their future
harder and their punishment greater
