Washington.?As a meawure of alely the United States- government jl.ouul assume control of every w.roes^ station ii\ this country, except those engaged in purely interstate business, at once. Control of wires and cables is simple, but wireless messages are easily interferred with by outsiders. There should be government ownership of all wireless apparatus in peace as v/ell as in wartime, as a matter of public policy. We shouldn't let this matter wait until tmnKu ---- VI WIUIC 1 iD IIJJUI1 LIS* The suggestion has been made to congress and is based fundamentally upon the character of wireless telegraphy. In land telegraph lines and submarine cables each separate wire sends its own messages and does not interfere with the sending of messages on other wires. The location and existence of these wires and cables is a matter which can be do'.ermined almost at a moment's noLice. The control of these is an easy matter from the military or navai point of view. o Sloan's Liniment For Stiff Joints.
