REPORT ON QUESTIONABLE

The Merchants Association has just
sent to Alvey A. Adee, Second Assist
ant Secretary OF State, a letter which sup
PIGMENTS a recently published report on
defects in the cable service between the
United States and other countries. The
letter covers the results of a question
naire directed to the large importing
and exporting firms Of this country and
was undertaken at the request OF the
State Department, which suggested that
another ouestionnaire would be helpful
In order to determine whether any i'm
provement had been made in the cable
service, The majority of the 200 busi-
ness houses which replied reported that
service was worse. II anything. than it
was at the time of the first inquiry.
AS was done in the first investigation,
the association asked for data regard
ing cable correspondence with Europe,
Latin America, the Orient and other
parts of the world. separately. with
statements confined TO conditions as they
have existed since March ~. 1919. In
addition, the association asked two
questions not touched upon previously
the opinion Of the business houses upon
the removal Of the censorship, and the
cause OF the delay of their cable mes
sages.
OF a total Of 100 houses 100 said that
they thought the cable censorship should
be removed. and Of fifty-five houses
giving reasons for the delay of messages
forty-three ascribed It to the censorship
and ten to the cable companies. The
two others laid Il to Government own
ership and general carelessness.

ported improvement still complain that
continued delays put their service on n
basis which was far from satisfactory
and that, with a higher charge for each
message because of the limitations as
to the use OF codes, the entire situa-
ton was most dscouraging
'As pointed out in our letter Of March
13," says tho associations letter to
Secretary Adee. certain houses cannot
use cables in their business transactions
under existing poor service. and trust
their communications to the mails which
also are slow and uncertain. II It is not
possible to do business by mail these
firms are patiently awaiting the time
when the Government will bring about
former conditions in cabling

most firms frankly stated that they were
at loss in placing the blame positively.

DOCK PROJECT
Will. NOT BE
GIVEN UP YET
Stock Subscription Cam
paign Closes But $40, 900
is Yet to Be Raised it is
Announced.

Although upon the closing of the
Bruce Dry Docks Company's subscrip-
tion campaign. last night at O'Clock
a shortage of approximately $4,000
was shown in the amount needed,
100000, to meet the Emergency Fleet
Corporations proposal to construct a
5000 ton lift capacity dry dock here,
it was stated by officials of the COM
pany following a meeting of the board
of directors, that the project will not
yet be abandoned.
Hope of an optimistic character was
expressed by the officials in other
plans that were outlined at the meet
ing OF the directors to raise the
amount and it was stated by Thos. A.
Johnson, secretary and manager for
the Bruce docks. that he felt very
hopeful of being able to announce
within few days that work will pro-
ceed on the enterprise The inference
was left that efforts viii be made to
raise the balance of the amount need
ed among members of the company
The campaign has been considered
a most successful one from a stand
point of number of subscribers, the
local labor organizations especially
lending a liberal part, for which the
Bruce dock officials express them
selves as highly gratified.
For the project to be permitted to
be lost. so near the goal, would come
as a great disappointment to many
loyal Pensacolians and officials of the
company signify their determination
to use every possible effort to put it
over.
