CABLE COMPANIES TO
OPPOSE CENSORSHIP
Extension OF Time Granted
Commercial Concerns To
Protest.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Final decision
as to the policy of the Washington gov-
eminent toward the extension Of the
censorship recently applied on wireless
stations to cable offices has been de.
ferred several days. Representatives o.
some of the commercial companies in1
terested, it is understood, have asked
for an opportunity to be heard, and 1T Is
expected their counsel will confer with
Attorney General McReynolds on Mons
day as to the legal questions involved,
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan conferred about the cable censor
ship today, but took no action, decld-
ing to study the situation further.
One cabinet officer said that, as the
situation created had no precedent, the
Washington government was e%ndeavor-
Ing to arrive at a conclusion that would
be in strict accord with it's announced
attitude of neutrality. He justified the
placing of censors at the wireless sta
tjons because from these stations the
American government should not per-
nit information to go direct to bellig-
erent ships and indirectly be the means
of causing naval engagements, with
consequent loss Of life. As to the cen
soring of cables, he was non-committal.
CALL CENSORSHIP FORM
OF UNREASONABLE SEARCH"
New York, Aug. 17.-The Commercial
Gable company officially announced
that it would contest "as a form Of un-
reasonable search" the placing Of CEN
sors in its office by the government.
THE submarine cables differ In a
very important way from wireless
telegraphy,' reads a statement issued
by George Clapperton. the company's
vice president. THE wireless COM
municating with a warship at sea is
the same as the warship cutting a sub
marine cable and taking the end on
board.
THE sending Of a cablegram may be
considered in the same light as traf-
fic in supplies or munitions of war.
Our citizens are not prohibited from
furnishing b~elligerents with supplies.
The subjects of neutral states may even
supply belligercnts with arms and am
munition without interfering with the
neutral status of the state itself.
"a cablegram is in many respects
similar to a letter, ~nd it certainly is
not the duty of any neutral government
to censor letters to a belligerent coun-
try. The secrecy of kilograms is pre-
served In many states by statutes
which make it a criminal offense to di-
vulge their contents.
During the Spanish-American war,
while the United States exercised rigid
censorship, the nations who are now
belligerents did not impose any r%estric-
tions on messages to or from the United
States or to or from Spain. The Com
mercial Cable company would feel
obliged to contest the placing Of censors
in it's offices as a form of unreasonable
search"
