While the property has been propcrlv maintained, it is not the same property which the (Jovcrninent took over on August 1, 191S. It is not as adequate for its job or as well manned as it was; that it is not is in no way the fault of Federal control which was eminently fair. It is due to causes for which neither the Government nor the Com panies are to blame. A year ago today we were at war. Labor and materials needed for both telephone ojieration and construction were turned to military uses. Such materials were so vital to the earning on of the war that even the work of providing telephone facilities for the Government was retarded and no part of them could be spared for the commercial telephone purposes. No less vital was the Government need tor those skilled to create, maintain and operate the vast inter-connnuni-cation systems neccssarv in modern warfare and in the conduct of the vastly increased Government services. Thousands of telephone men were alreadv at the battle front, thousands more were under arms, and still telephone experts and skill ed operators went into the service of the Government and contributorv industries by the tens of thousands. The reserves of plant and equip ment were drawn upon until thev were eutiielv used up, and the ex perienced staff was gradually depleted. To find others to take the place of those who had gone was difficult; to train them takes time. During the year came Victory and the armistice, and instantlv the bus iness world sprang into intense activity. The demands for 'telephone service passed all former records. To replace the exhausted reserves which had been carried for just such purposes and to replace the skill ed forces to riieet this unprecedented emergency there began a rush for construction, for readjustment for high pressure repairs, for feverish extensions. All these must be continued with increasing effort. The return of the property comes in the verv midst of this race between an overpowering demand and an upbuilding of a svstem whose growth was held back and whose forces were scattered bv the vital needs of war. Much progress has been made in the upbuilding of this svstem. but tar more s still required to meet the swift growth of business; and also to give "First aid" to every other business and every other service struggling against an unprecedented demand. The prosperitv which creates this emergency in service creates also a scarcity of those desir ing employment in the service. Under such conditions telephone ser vice generally has not been and could not be up to the pre-war standard. Jt is beyond human power to immediately overcome the handicap which the situation imposes. There are no people in anv public or private en deavor who are working more tirelessly or strenuously for the common good than those of the telephone companies. Service has alwavs been given, more of it must be given, and it must be improved. That im provement in some cases will take months. Eventually service must win the race with demand.
