SENATE MAY PREVIEW AMERICAN''-- ; 1 " INTERNATIONAL CARTEL PROBLEM Through their Congress the American people have started the debate on whether they are for or against giant international mononolies. . Three ' Senate committees Foreign' Re

lations,' Commerce and Interstate Commerce started hear

ings last week which will ieview the whole dilemma of how a democratic, government and, a democratic economy can compete in a world of cartels and government or quasi-govern-ment monopolies.' . The Commerce 'committee 'and a sub-committee of "Foreign Relations are facing the United States aviation policy decision. The sub-committee on Interstate Commerce headed by Senators Burton Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana, and Ernest McFarland, Democrat, of Arizona, will see the whole problem in. miniature- during its hearings on an international telephone and telegraph merger. ' It took years for the government to approve a merger of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph systems, within the United. States. A number of congressmen and government officials still -have mental reservations as, to whether this "chosen instrument," under rigid government regulation, is

letter than a policy of regulated competition. ; '; ; Since 1935. a movement has existed to merge all Ameri-;-m cable and radio telephone and telegraph interestsin the aternational field. The question is complicated toy" the ' fact hnt United States policy must adjust itself to that of 'other governments, most of which take it for "granted that tele-

hone and telegraph 'are a natural government monopoly,

ike the post ot lice. the economics ot the problem' are turthr complicated. by the fact that international radio must defend on the co-operation of all countries. Even a small country, strategically placed, like Haiti; ould upset the whole international communications system

villi a few high-power transmitters. I ' '. '" ""

The majority attitude of the administrative branch ol he government is likely to be in favor of one big American oiii muni cations companv in the intemat'onal field. Little op-

v.sition is expected from Congress or the administration to separate American corona ny like Press Wireless , to serve merican 'newspapers and broadcasters. " ';' The ideological aspects' take 'on 'gi eater .significance" 'beause the financial "arguments' are on the'' basis of millions ather than billions. Before Pearl Harbor, : U.' S.' cable' Mitersts added up to only about $11,000,000. U. S. radio telehone and telegraph interests totaled- abuit $16,000,000.

i'his $60 million represented less - than half of a hardboiled ippnisal 'of Avoi'ld communications. The British 'had more niles of, less valuable cable. The French and Dutch, excelled n radio! ': -. : '...''' ' , ' ' : '; -'K After three years cf war' the U. 'S. government has $250,i()t), 1)00 .Invested m -'woyjd-wide radio ; communications. Many f the developments t,i this system ai'e still secret. . Radio iigineers and scientists have lvid few limits of money or pat-

nts. People everywhere have become accustomd to radio -I lot os from all over the world like, that of the' American flag icing raised at Iwo Jinia. .The era of abundance in ihternaional communications is no longer a theory. But the Congress must face the question of who shall own the facilities, -vho shall lwss them, and how to stimulate continued progress.

quarters received today.

Since her keel was laid October 27, 1913, this gallant ship has

seen much battle action, weath-i ering many deadly blows from' enemy fire in the present conflict.

These Sullivan . men who serve

aboard her were in action with "Pennsy" at Attu', Kiska. Makin

Island, the Marshalls, Eniwetok, ; the Marianas and the Philippines.

Her guns were the first to fire upon enemy shore installations at Lingayen Bay in the invasion of

Luzon. .

The accuracy of . the Peiinsyl-'

vania's guns and the . crews that man them is spoken in the reply

of a shore party on the island of

Guam who sent out an urgent call

for help to "Pennsy." When the

echoes of the . first four-gun

salvo from her secondary batter-i
