Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements 1t is
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated INTERCHANGEABLE with each
other and in close physical connec-
ton with land lines as M system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
TO provide against the very frequent
cable Interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one of the companies Of the Western
Union group has, independently of the
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon TO take
care of, because Of some particular
rush Of business, OF because of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities Of
these companies are ample if they
could be used supplementary to each
other and INTERCHANGEABLE.
AS it is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tinet Offices and under separate and
distinct management. All interchange
Of business is by actual transfer of the
business from one company TO the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption OF a service in which
seconds are valuable,

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
he Western Union, the Anglo Amer
lean and the Direct U. S. companies
will bring the eight cables Of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
The Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
The Western Union to make such inn
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height Of folly,
Duplication of the existing trans
Atlantic cable fac lities at a cost OF
many millions, when there are more
han ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already July burdened
business and would probably postpone
he reduction of rates or introduction
IF new services.
