DESTR0yERS GUARD COAST
President Opposed to British
Monopoly Of Wires to
South America.

The British embassy has given the
State Department assurances that
the British cable ship Colonia will
not attempt to lay a cable from the
Barbados to Miami, Fla, until this
Government has acted upon a request
for permission to lay the cable, Sec
retary of State Colby announced to-
day.
DESTROYERs TO REMAIN.
Secretary Daniels stated that he is
awaiting reports on the situation
along the Florida coast. and that de-
stroyers will be kept on duty there
until the incident is closed.
Officials pointed out today that
while the action taken is against a
British ship, and is TO prevent the
establishment OF British-owned COM
munication, the request fer a permit
comes from the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. and that company
will be held liable II there is any
violation OF the law. The fact that a
bTltlsn snip Is laying the ChDie. is VI
nc Importance. officials declare, for
they stated that it is probable this
was the only ship available.
President Wilson, ii is understood,
feels very keenly on the question.
and is most strongly opposed to the
granting of any permits which would
further establish the monopoly or
English-owned lines of communica- =
tion. The proposed cable, connecting
with the Barbados, would connect
with an English-owned cable to
Brazil, to which country there are no
American-owned cable lines. Efforts
have been made and are being made
to establish American lines of COM
munication with Brazil.
During the war. the British con-
troll of communications made ii i'm
possible for communication between
this nation and Europe without all
messages being subjected to the scrn-
tiny of the British censorship. This
condition was annoying to the Presi
dent, it is known, and one of the
great interests which he had at the
peace conference was the right or
free communication without control.
1t is in furtherance of this policy
that the permit for the landing of
the new cable to the Barbados has
been delayed, pending investigation.
and officials stated today that this
policy of careful examination of all
new lines of communication, to estab-
lish their control, will be continued.
