Alexander Porter Morse in Albany Law

Eleven submarine cables traverse the At
lantc between 60 and 40 degrees north lat
itude. Eleven of these connect the Cana
dian provinces and the United States with
the territory of Great Britain; two Zone
American, the other Anglo-American) con-
meet France OF these seven are largely
owned operated or controlled by Ameri-
can capital, while all the others are under
English control and management. There
is but one direct submarine cable connect
ing the territory of the United States with
the continent of Europe, and that is the
cable owned and operated by the Com
pagnie Francois Gables Telegraphiques,
whose termini are Brest, France and Cape
Cod, on the coast of Massachusetts. All
these cables between 60 and 40 degrees
north latitude, which unite the United
States with Europe, except the French
cable, are under American or English con-
troll and have their termini in the territory
of Great Britain or the United States. In
the event of war between these countries,
unless restrained by conventional act, all
these cables might be cut, or subjected to
exclusive censorship on the part of each
of the belligerent states. Across the South
Atlantic there are three cables. one Amer
lean and two English, whose termini are
Pernambuco, Brazil, and st. Louis Africa,
and near Lisbon, Portugal, with connecting
English lines to England, one directly
traversing the high seas between Lisbon
and English territory, and one touching at
Vigo, Spain, at which point a German
cable company has recently made con-
nection. The multiplication under English
