”1 cannot over-stress the importance of removing of Axis controls and influences over communications facilities outside of their own boundaries. The United States should have no less control than any other country over the cables connecting America and the mainland of Europe via the Azores. The South American facilities must be free to carry on communications with the world, and Axis con¬ trols and influences must be eliminated. It is essential that con¬ trol over local properties should be restored to local governments and their own citizens; it hardly behooves the democracies to move In Imperialistically where the local governments or interests can do an effective Job. Our consistent aim must be the unfettered flow of communications. And we ourselves should own local foreign properties only where and to the extent necessary to accomplish this guiding purpose. ”

WLB PETRILLO DECISION MAY "STALL ALONG" INTO NEW YEAR
The opinion was expressed as the War Labor Board hearings in the petrillo case closed in New York on Monday that at the rate the Board is proceeding in the case or "stalling along" as one observer put it its recommendations may not be forthcoming until the New Year, In the meantime the situation so far as those who have not signed Mr. Petrillo’ s agreement terms will remain pretty much as is excepting, of course, that dickering will be continued by both sides.
If the controversy is not settled by February 1, when the contract between the musicians and the networks expire and the net¬ works being operated by the same companies as the record manufactur¬ ers Mr, Petrillo may carry out the threat of a network strike.
Since William S, Paley, President of the Columbia Broadcasting System, and David Sarnoff, head of the Radio Corporation of America, appar¬ ently didn't get anywhere with Petrillo, there are those who believe the labor leader might call a strike "before Christmas" as had been previously intimated.
At the closing session of the WLB Monday, Mr. Petrillo' s "honesty of purpose" was challenged by both RCA and CBS. Ralph Colin, CBS attorney, charged that the musicians union sought the money "pur¬ ely for political purposes" and not to aid unemployed members,
Robert P. Myers, counsel for RCA, declared that adoption of the principle of direct payments would make a Union's leaders "inde¬ pendent of the Government and their own members" and would lead to union principalities financed by industry and responsible to no one but the inner counciles of the union.
