pretty well convinced that the cable is not obsolete. There are those who say a unified company will retard radio or not put in new developments. Imperial Cables and .Vireless have combined their cable and radio telegraph interests into one great world-wide system and operate it in such a manner that the two services supplement one another and have equal opportunity of development. It is argued that labor will suffer if consolidation takes place. The Western Union and the Postal were merged and the labor problem is solving itself without any great difficulty. It is argued that under a consolidated company rates will be kept up and services will de¬ teriorate. Exactly the opposite will happen. Rates will come down and services will improve. The Federal Ccramuni cations Commission in 1936 nt.de an attempt to advocate consolidation of international ser^rices and then for political reasons backed down, lyio present Comriission, however, is definitely in favor of consolidation,
"The Government has logically and justifiably gone into international communications since the war. The Array and the Navy have built up two groat world-wide telegraph communication systems. This was a logical development because the 7 American telegraph com¬ panies were not able to be nearly as valuable in this war as a uni¬ fied system would have been. In the United States, however, the Services did not build up a telephone system over the United States because the Tel-ephone Companies were able to give them oetter service than they could have provided themselves. A unified American inter¬ national telegraph communication service would have done the same thing. I doubt if the Armed Services will get out of the communi¬ cation business unless and until we consolidate our international telegraph communications.
"So to recapitulate under consolidation it will be possible to improve the service, to reduce rates, including press rates, to fully protect labor and wages and do this under private management and without government subsidy. A consolidated private company under government regulation can take its proper place in International communication conventions and not be subservient to foreign communication administrations. But more important, is that a consolidated American International communication company will present for American trade, for American international good will and international understanding, a unified front. It will be an instrument which our Administration can use to further its foreign policy. And, if we are so unfortunate as to find out selves again in a time of war, be of invaluable assistance to our Armed forces."

If the calculations of the Radio Manufacturers Association are correct there will be a big increase in employment of men and women in the radio industry after the war, possibly as much as 6^. Says the RMA:
