the compact between these companies, Is
beyond my comprehension"
Mr. CorIiss showed that these corpo-
rations now enjoyed a monoDoly Of cable
communication with China which. in 1900
granted them concessions for period Of
thirty years.
But even in the British Parliament"
remarked Nr. Corltss. there we're found
men who deemed this step hostile to the
best interests Of Great Britain and es-
pecially the United States. on this oc-
casion Sir Charles Dixie said that the
Governments were binding themselves to
maintain for The two companies con-
cerned-the Eastern Extension and the
Great Northern Telegraph Companies-a
monopoly in the working Of all Chinese
submarine lines.
1t was the declared policy OF the
United States Government TO establish
direct communication with China, and the
agreement would bind the British Gov
eTnment TO resist that. He contended
that the more competing lines there were.
the greater the advantage 10 this coun-
try. especially in war times.
The foregoing demonstrates the neces-
sity Of immediate action If We are to
preserve the open door in China"
Guam in It's Grnsp-
Mr. Corliss announced that under the
present plans Of the Commercial Cable
Company the naval station at Guam would
be without cable communication.
"Of what use viii the American naval
station be 10 the American navy at the
Island Of Guam with a cable held and
controlled by a foreign cable company ="
asked the speaker. 4 che rye that the
Commercial Cable is in fact the Eastern
Extension monopoly. this is shown by the
fact that Mackay made his contract with
them in August last before he applied for
the privilege Of extending the cable"
Engineering Nefarious Scheme.
NJ. Corliss then read from the testi-
mony Of Mr. Ward. the president Of the
Commercial Company, whom the Michigan
Representative characterized as a British
subject engineering a nefarious scheme.
In his testimony Ward practically ad-
mittcd an alliance with the Eastern Com
pany and said no other company could
give as low rate as his own. although
Mr. Corliss reminded him the proposed
rate from San Francisco to Manila was as
high as the charge on message through
10 China and Japan.
These admissions. added Mr.. Corliss.

that has been made between The CONNER
ciaI and the Eastern Extension Cable
conOpolists."
Great Britain's Precautions.
Two important facts should be recon-
mcHded. concluded Nj. COrIIss- First.
that Great Britain provided in her con
tract with the Eastern Extension Com
pauy that the employees In her cable Of
fees in China shall be British subjects
secondly. that for the protection Of her
military power and the expansion Of her
trade and commerce. she builds and pro-
poses to own and control a Government
cable through the Pacific Ocean, and has
established a rate Of only 30 cents per
word for the benefit Of her people.
How can we maintain peace in the Pa
cihc and properly direct our army and
navy through a foreign cable company, Of

How can our tradesmen compete with
