Referring to his announcement that the French and British
governments had removed all cable restrictions upon the transmis-
sion of news of the conference to America, the president said he
had taken over the American cable systems on expert advice so 'as
to make a unified system available. 1
He expressed the hope that he would have the cooperation of
the public and of Congress, saying through the cables and wireless
constant counsel and advice would be possible.
Much of the address was devoted to the railroad problem,
