We have most friendly sympathy

facilities are so cOngested that apart American cables would serve a press ing international need. The most acute need for additional cable facili- ties at the present time is in the Pacific ocean. While over the north Atlantic cables traffic has practically quadrupled since 1913 in the same period Pacific cable traffic has in creased nearly nine fold. Proposals for the laying of new Pacific cable have been considered tenta- lively. The cost of the New Pacific cable is large sum of money, but the s40,000,O00 which it is estimated Japan and the United States will expend upon each of their newest battle cruisers, would probably suf flee to duplicate the entire existing plant.
 British interests own and operate more than half of the cables now in use. At the present time, too, Great Britain possesses practical mon opoly of cable manufacture, which is strengthened by British control of the gutta percha market. Although far behind the British system in the point of mileage, the American anh in, i,,,r,n ,n,,t ance, and connect all the American possessions, as well as the Canal Zone and the Naval Base at Guata- mala, Cuba, with the continental United States. thus providing the nucleus of a comprehensive Ameri- can system. Next in importance at present to the American-Owned cable lines is the French system Prior to the war Germany had developed ambitious plans for a cabin system connecting the Fatherland with all the German colonies Under the reparations section of the treaty of Versailles, Germany was com pelled to renOunce on her own be- half and on her nationals all rights to the effective portion of these cables.
 "The experience of the last five years has conclusively demonstrated that the amount of business which is
 
 only by the physical capacity of the lines and the ability of the operat ing companies to keep rates at point which will attract business"
