Hughes Attacks Cable Seizure In Federal Court
In New York on December 27 Charles E. Hughes argued before Judge Hand that Congress aimed to seize cables only for real national security danger, not during any mere state of war. He defended the two cable companies against government plans to merge lines with Western Union, contending the President exceeded authority. The hearing also questioned the basis for deprivation of property and the reach of executive power, with government counsel asserting lack of equity in the complaint.
