"The safety for strong government control of naval communication," said Director Todd, "becomes more necessary as ship and shore stations in sea and weather conditions in sea and weather. Interference and concern in the future will continue until such time as the government is obliged to continue its operations. To complete the naval stations except a few reserves for government work exclusively, to maintain a commercial business and the importance of the commercial stations engaged in ship to shore work is essential."

Director Todd says that gratifying progress has been made with the enlistment of civilian naval operators as a reserve for the government service, some having already filed applications.
