PLEA FOR A PRIVATE CABLE
Argument is Made in Minority Report
Against Government
Ownership.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-The minority
report on the Pacific cable bill, filed today,
dissents from the view that the government
should build the cable and states that a
private organization. the Commercial Pa
.cinc Cable company, already has con-
tracted TO lay a cable to Hawaii by No
vember 1 next, intends to extend the line
to the Philippines within two years there
after. The minority report adds: b
We believe the government can obtain
ership and avoid the risks and dlsadvan-
tages' of governmental ownership. by al.
operate this cable. Moreover. we do not
think IL right for the government to lay
this ts cable lie after s,, a pT n eas, corporation mas
The report also sets forth that the pri-
vate company will sell to the government
at an appraised value the cable. and 1t is
urged that this gives the government am
pie assurance that its interests will be
protected. There is added to the minority
report the contract which has recently
been fled with the attorney general by the
Commercial Pacific Cable company. This
contract makes as a basis of considera-
ton" the government lease to the cable
company OF an 0fice in the general post
once building at Honolulu.
The cable company binds itself to charge
the public so cents a word between Cali
fornia and Honolulu for the first two years
with a reduction to SO cents a word there
after, to charge not exceeding 81 a word
between California and Manila or China,
TO accept such rates for government mes
sages as the postmaster general shall an
nually fix, to give priority to government
messages, TO sell the cable to the govern
ment at an appraised value II ever the gov
