convenient stopping places on the way
across the sea, the necessity for speedy
cable communication between the
United States ard all these Pacific is
lands has become imperative. Such
communication should be established
in such a way ats to be wholly under
the control of the United States
whether in time Of peace or war, A;
present the Philippines can be reached
only by cables which pass through
many foreign countries and the
Hawaiian islands and Guam can only
be communicated With by steamers,
involving delays in each instance of at
ieast Il week. The present conditions
should not be allowed to continue for
i moment longer than is absolutely
necessary.
The time has now arrived when
cable in the Pacific must extend as far
AZ Manila. touching at the Hawaiian
islands and Guam on the way. Two
methods of establishing this cable
communica don at once suggest them
selves. First, construction and main
terlncc of such a cable at the eXpens"
of the United States government. and,
second, construction and maintenance
Of such a cable by a private United
States corporation under such guards
as Congress shall impose.
II do not make any recommends
tons t. Congress as to which of these
methods would be the most desirable.
\ cable of the length Of that proposed
requires so much time for construction
and laying that il is estima ted that al
least two years must elapse after Civ
ing the order Cor the cable before the
entr system could be successfully laid
and put in operation. Further deep
sea soundings must he made west Of
the Hawaiian islands before the best
route for the cable can be selected.
Under these circumstances. it becomes
i param ount necessity that measures
should be taken before the close of the
present Congress to provide such means
as may seem suitable for the estab-
lishmert &C Il cable system

tareful consideration of the Congress
and to such prompt action AS may
