NECESSITY OF OWNING CABLES

Recent epidemies of war rumors and
the actual clash Of arms in various
parts of the world has led to widespread
comment upon the effect the owner
ship of submarine cables has upon the
character Of the news distributed about
the world by the newspapers. In cases
where the cable is controlled by coun-
tries interested in the disturbances
there is every temptation to transmit
-doctored" kilograms and maintain a
sharp censorship over the cable dis
patches. Furthermore. in event of the |
cable not furnishing the material de- |
sired. the fertile brains of the editorial |
room are set TO work connecting re-
ports that serve to spread abroad still |
more serious misapprehensions 1t is

accepting a telegram as true, because
il is most likely an American canard."
Complaints are various in France be,
cause that country has to depend so
much upon wires controlled by the
British. 1t is noted that in case of war
between England and the United States
the French people would know little or
nothing of the state of affairs until it
was read as an historical fact. Ameri-
can papers complain Of kilograms held
back by British cable companies, and
suggest that it was a suspicious fact,
to say the least, that the South African
cable broke down" during the critical
period OF the Transvaal trouble. Then,
gain, the British colonies Of the West
I'm hemisphere find cause for complaint
because their kilograms are prepared in

would be practically useless for pur- I

How many times during the present

rious items appropriating large sums
of money for the use of the depart

times have members practically told the
Executive that il was asking for sums
entirely too large. Then the items have
gone TO committees for investigation,
and after careful and thorough consid-

lieve that after the Hilo deputation has
had little closer insight into affairs

TO say that Hilo is being abused, and
quite another thing TO prove it.
The petition placed before the Legis-
lature by the Hilo meeting is galaxy
Of bold generalizations that amount to
a condemnation of Honolulu simply be-
