Most other communications will be forced into mail channels to be subjected to censorship. Communications to enemy or ally of enemy countries are prohibited except by license. The customs division of the Treasury will have charge of the administration of the regulations. FAIRNESS TO^LL INDUSTRIES Is the Promise Made by Messrs. Lovett and Garfield, Who Agree to Apply no War Restrictions Without a Full Hearing Washington, D. C, December 8. — Robert S. Lovett, Chairman of the Priority Board, and H. A. Garfield, the Fuel Administrator, announced to-day that they would endeavor to place every safeguard about industry, if steps were necessary to curtail shipments of coal to the producers of non-essentials and to restrict the transportation facilities. While admitting that the situation needed close scrutiny, and that the war-time industries must have first consideration, the officials issued statements which were intended to eliminate panicky feeling. Ex-Judge Lovett said that no action would be taken without "reasonable notice and an opportunity to be heard." Mr. Garfield said that voluntary curtailment might make more drastic action unnecessary. The situation to-day assumed great importance in the official deliberations, and while no definite policy was proclaimed there was a distinct tendency to inform the many industries and the financial interests involved that the Government was prepared to work for an equitable readjustment of conditions to' solve the problems faced.
