The Pacific Cable.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

40 VI Inc ENshlhs SUR.
In your able editorial yesterday sum-
marking the arguments in favor Of a Pc
cifc cable you omitted one factor whose
Importance Is far greater than is generally
recognized. namely, the value to our
weather bureau OF Geographic reports from
acknowledgements both of weather there
and of weather experienced at sea by YES
sells arriving there. Remembering that the
weather of our Pacific coast comes in so to
speak. from the great ocean lying to the
west, the value of early news of existing
conditions is self-evident. Such news might
often influence weather forecasts and thus
give results OF great benefit to agriculture
and commerce. Indeed, cables to Honolulu
and even Sitka and Ounalaska might pay
for themselves in a few years from this
source alone If the subject be broadly con-
sidered with reference to its effect upon the
wealth and resources of the entire country
and this is the point of view from which a
national work of such ma gnitude should be
regarded. II those specially Interested in
the promotion of the project, whether from
national or personal standpoint. look into
this argument carefully they will be sur
prfsed at the strength that it will develop
The great argument in favor Of national or
at least American, ownership is the posi-
bly, vital Importance of control in case Of
war, especially in the early strategtcal
operations. where a single message sent or
suppressed might mean a victory or a de-
feat. EVERETT HAYDEN.
