BACKS UP INTERNATIONAL POSTWAR CO IMUNI CATIONS PLANS
Just as it has been strongly back ing up Chalman Fly in the Congressman Cox and Goodwin Watson cases, the Washington Post has endorsed the post war world communications plan which Mr. Fly proposed recently.
•'We can think of few more vital buttresses to the world order that is now in the making than an international communications system", says the Post. "It is idle to speak of world-wide under¬ standing and good will if the peoples of different countries have no established means of communicating with each other at reasonable rates, Tne freedom of communications within the United States should make us the first to realize the necessity of circling the globe with cables and radio channels accessible to all nations.
"The country is deeply indebted to Chairman James L. Fly of the Federal Communications Commission for injecting this Important issue into the current discussion of the postwar world. Along with many others, we missed the full significance of Mr. Fly's address a week ago. Since we have had an opportunity to read his thoughtful and meaty remarks, however, we are confident that the FCC Chairman has outlined a problem that will claim a prominent place in the peace conferences,
"What the world obviously needs is a communication system comparable to that now serving the nations within the British Common¬ wealth. To accomplish this aim the FCC Chairman has outlined
four basic principles: (1) There should be uniform rates for all messages throughout the world, with no discrimination anywhere.
(2) These rates should be low to encourage communication. (3) In¬ stantaneous radio communications between all important areas of the globe should be sought, with perhaps an electronic 'conveyor belt' in the equatorial zone to conserve frequencies. (4) Uniform and low press rates should extend throughout the world.
"Here is a program that should command widespread support at the peace conference. We missed an opportunity, as Mr. Fly has pointed out, at Versailles. In the interest of world unity as well as our own relations with other countries, we must exercise a more vigorous leadership in this field when the present conflict is over."
