Government Ownership of Telephone
 Systems

Some of the leading newspapers of Europe have been comparing their tel. ephone systems under government control with the American Bell sys- tenn of this country with the advantage all in favor of the system controlled by private interests. In efficiency, num- Der of instruments in use, growth and development the United States is pointed out as being superior to Eng land and France, in fact the whole of Europe.
 It is pointed out that for every thous. and Europeans there is only one tele- phone while for the same number of Americans there are fifteen. In Great Britain at the beginning of the year there were 602, ,209 telephones in use. This is 30 per cent. less than the in- crease in America in a single year. The total of the Bell system is s 1.2 per cent. greater than the Great Britain system. Compared with the whole of Europe it is found that the Bell sys- tenn has twice as many telephones as that whole country. The entire group of twenty European countries with an aggregate population of 405, ,000, 600 has only 2,3S5,00 telephones as against the 5, 142,6 1892 telephones of single organi- zation in America, serving popula- tion of between eighty and ninety mil- lions.
 In comparing the efficiency of the service this country again takes the honors. An authoritative series of tests are said to have disclosed that the Paris system is at least seven and half times slower than the American. While it takes II seconds to get into communication in New York, the French capital is content to wait l minute, POS seconds.
 According to the editorial writers of the foreign press who have been mak- ing comparisons the deficiency of their service as compared to ours is due to the government control in their coun- try. 1t is also stated that the chief ob. ject of the control by government, the reduction in rates to the public, has not been realized to any appreciable degree.
