BY MARTIN CODEL. | | Responsibility for maintaining Ameri- can supremacy in international wire and | wireless communications, pulse of America’s foreign trade, yesterday was placed bruntly and directly upon Con- | gress by Owen D. Young, called here to | testify in connection with the Couzens | The bill itself has two major proposi- | tions—one Government regulation or | control of the transportation of elegtri- cal energy from one State to another, | and the other Government control of | international communications. Referring to that part of the bill which relates to international wire and | wireless communications, the chairman | of the board of the General Electric Co,, | who also is chairman of the Radio Cor- | poration of America, told the Senate | Committee on Interstate Commerce yes- terday afternoon that this country has | no alternative but to permit a unifica- tion of its international, if not its do- mestic. cable and radio facilities, either | under Government ownership or under | private ownership with Government | regulation and control. Unification Is Permitted. | Such a unification of facilities is now provided by the radio act. A section in the act, providing for cable-radio| competition: is the deterrent which has prevented the Radio Corporation of Anferica from selling its world-wide, dio system to the International Tel phone & Telegraph Co., which now | competes with Western Union in the| submarine cable field, besides competing with the Radio Corpon%flcm of America. Mr, Young indorsed that part of the Couzens bill relating to Government control of international communications, declaring that regulation is necessary and desirable. He opposed public own- ership in principle, saying that he does| not believe the time has come to turn | over either domestic or international | communications systems to the Govern- “ ‘Westinghouse, American Telephone & ment. But he insisted that one or the other | course of action must be taken by the | United States Government in the in-| terest of self-protection, as well as effi- ciency. Since the Senate committee is inquir- ing into all phases of radio, the first questioning of Mr. Young was confined to communications. At the outset there was considerable wrangling among mem- bers of the committee about the pro- | priety of certain questions propounded by its special counsel, William C. Green, and by Senator Dill. These questions had to do with assertions by Mr. Young and other officials of the Radio Cor- poration of America that the late Ad- miral W. H. G. Bullard, at the direction of President Wilson, asked the General Electric Co. 10 years ago to retain cer- | Y | tic telegraph facilities of the country,” tain radio patents it held and enter the communications fleld itself rather than sell them to the British Marconi Co., then operating America’s big inter- national communications company. ‘The repeated assertion of this claim, it has been charged, is unfair competi- tion, in that it implies that the Radio Corporation of America was organized | | unifying under Government auspices. After all the senatorial wrangling was over Mr. Young answered the question by stat- ing flatly that Admiral Bullard had in- | formed him that he had come at the | request of the President of the United States, who, while he favored Govern- ment operation, had preferred to rest that matter of policy with Congress. Pleads for Communications Parity. The communications problem arises, according to Mr. Young, from the fact that the British recently unified their formerly competing world-wide cable and radio systems, and that Germany, France, Italy and Japan have either unified or are in process of unifying their respective international services. If we do not do the same, he told the committee, America® scattered and competing services will be held at the mercy of domination by foreign com- panies, practically all of them govern- ment owned and operated monopolies. “Parity, gentlemen, is important to the United States in more fields than arships—in none more so than com- munications,” Mr. Young said. Mr. Young told the committee again the story, oft repeated in radio circles, of how General Electric formed the Ra- dio Corporation of America to utilize the Alexanderson alternator, then the only device capable of carrying radio signals across the seas; how difficulties arose because various companies owned different patents needed to make both transmission and reception by radio complete; how the General Electric, Telegraph and United Fruit companies combined their patents in the Radio Corporation of America: how the engi- neers then brought forth the “amazing results” which led not only to expansion of international radio but to the devel- opment of the radio industry, with pro- gram broadcasting and kindred other uses for radio. Most of Mr. Young's statements were directed, however, to an appeal for re- tention of America's present command- ing position in both wire and wireless communications. He would keep teleph- ony and telegraphy facilities distinct from ¢ach other, he said. But he would even foster the combination of domestic radio and wire facilities that are now competing, he said. “Whether or not what I have said is true regarding unification of the domes- Mr. Young stated, “I am sure it is true in the field of international telegraph services. There, from the standpoint of national interest, a monopoly, either regulated by the Government or owned by the Government, is a necessity, and a necessity now. “If you have any hesitation about our_external communications 5 A Dclleclml ina day Get rid of that cold before it gets you.

T is not unusual for grocers to name Chase & Sanborn’s as the most popu- lar coffee. For Chase & Sanborn’s is a fine, rich flavored blend of choice coffees which has been a delight to discriminating coffee lovers in New England and the Middle West for more than sixty-five years. But now Chase & Sanborn’s is phenom- enally popular, for now Chase & Sanborn’s Coffee is even more dependably delicious than it has ever been before. No change in the coffee—the beans im- ported for Chase & Sanborn’s are s those extra flavorous beans grown only in the well drained, sandy soil and drenching sunshine of a few famous “high plateau” plantations. No change in the blend—the precious formula so carefully studied to suit the American taste in coffee would no more be tampered with than the Constitution. Not one tenth of an ounce would we be willing to change it!

Millions have cast their votes for it by using no other coffee than Chase & Sanborn’s. But the method of getting it to you— there’s the big change! For Chase & Sanborn’s Coffee has been put in the “fresh food” class—the first coffee ever to be handled—as bread, milk and fresh yeast are handled—so as to reach you absolutely fresh. The bright, new green motor trucks of “Standard Brands, Inc., Daily Delivery,” which carry Fleischmann’s Yeast to your grocer, now carry, also, Chase & Sanborn’s Coffee fresh from the fragrant roasting ovens. Your grocer gets two deliveries a week of this freshly roasted coffee—and just enough at a time to last until the next delivery. No Chase & Sanborn’s Coffee can remain in his store more than one week. The date stamped on the blue band of your can of Chase & Sanborn’s Coffee is a promise of its original strength and mel- low, rich, freshly roasted flavor. No other coffee gives you this assurance of being always fresh. And the fact that last month far more pounds of Chase & Sanborn’s Coffee were used than have ever before been used in a similar period seems ample proof that coffee lovers are more than ever delighted with Chase & San- born’s Coffee fresh from the roaster. in the hands of a private company under Government control, then I beg of you in the national interest to unify them under Government ownership, in order that America may not be left in the external communication field sub- Jject to the dictation and control of for- eign companies or governments.” This argument was considerably ex- tended, Mr. Young emphasizing through- out his statement “the proviso that ade- quate regulation and control shall be put into the government of such serv- l’tes and the rates to be charged there- or.” Students of the problem of interna- tional communications cannot but be impressed _with the fact that the American Government in probing Amer- ica’s position in international communi- cations is simply starting where the concluded last Spring.
