Congress appropriated for the FCC $1,500,000 to cove cost, and it bas cost the telepho company itself some $3.000,000. During the investi- gation the commission has had its own men working in the company, numbering at times up to 250; they have had at their disposal more than 750 volumes of ecords, and have themselve ued seventy-seven olumes of reports. In view of all this, it would not eem profit for iders at the present stage to attempt, upon the ba f the short summary that has béen issued, to j € Walker report as a whole or to pass upon the wacy of specific findings of fact. But it is fair to n not merely that President Gifford of the telephone company has condemned the in igation a one-sided from start to finish,” (hat the summary of the report presents much “that simply not true some of his objections receive support from ’ Craven, g f the FCC, w ser the manner in which ducted and of his inability “a 1other member | approval o tion has been con- to reach final con- lusions or to agree with some of recommendations contained in the rey “In spite of the fact that the commission acted within its authority when it denied the right of cross- xamination and rebuttal to the telephone company [Mr. Craven states], I feel that more could have been accomplished and better fe in general would st had this privilege beer ‘I beiie that, in gener report indicates the existing regu- Ho! the necessity for an improvement i lation of the telephone systems of the countr ever, in making this as it 15 only faix 0, recognize that the telephone service in this country \ds, in general, excellent, but that it is capable of im- { provement as a result of intelligent, consiructive regu- |lation.” | The Walker rey has not yet been approved by he full commission, and Mr. en’s dissent se s (w0 indicate that that approval is not assured. ainly there are aspects of this preliminar culated to puzzle most reader The statement hat the Bell System could eut telephone rates about ieve | 25 percent “without interrupting existing net | ngs” will seem almost self-cont ictory to the | ‘nitiated The sweeping critici of depreciation | oractices, pension plans and public relations policies | will seem strange to those who have come to believe | (hat the American telephone system, whatever its 1 aults, provides the most efficient telephone service in | he world. Bui the recommendation that many per- i ons will be most slow to accept is that the FCC should approve or and practices pro- »e granted power by Congress “lo review, iisapprove all Bell System policies nuigated by the ceutral management group of the umerican company.” The powers asked for are in .ome directions far in excess of those exercised over he railroads by the 1.C.C., and a few of them seem quivalent to Government management. Our experi- nee the ever-widening Government regulation and management of business in recent years has not een' such as to make it appear axiomatic that the weeping powers for the FCC now asked for by Mr Valker would be ))uhlu ‘interest of in the Double and Rulouhle (New York World-Telegram) With total population—outside figures and very iberal at that—of some 44,000,000, the bellicose Il Duce | Mussclini has served notice to whom it may concern hat he is prepared to take the offensive with a wi nachine of 9,000,000 men, That figure sent us back twenty years for a com- on with the effort of the United States in the orld War. This country never was bled of its man yower, but the war certainly rounded up the able oung men. Remember? Our total mobilized forces, according to the World Almanac, were 4,355,000. Double that figure—~which means dredging deeper ind lowering the ndards of both military fitness ind industrial production—and as a generous round number you get 9,000,000, But the United States | sopulation in 1918 was about 103,000,000, or a great ieal more than twice Italy’s present figure. In short, 3,000,000 soldiers for Italy now means not twice but | well over four times as intensive recruiting a.~‘ America’s in 1918. Straining in 1915 Italy put into the field an arva for all purposes of one out of seven of her total popu- | 'ation.
