eges with regard to the control and use of such lines as were exercised by foreign governments.
 . It was obvious. the statement add ed that the United States could not be expected to allow the Western Union Company. an American ccr- poration, to charge for government messages twice the rates charged the British and other governments.
 While the natute and scope of ex- ecutive authority over the landing and regulation Of cables lacks con gressional or court definition, the present administration has taken the position that wide power was vestfd in the president through his consti- tutional control cf foreign relations. Examination by the state depart ment of the legal rights of the gov ernment has re'iealed that such a policy was held during the terms of Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur. Cleve land and Harrison.
 A contrary position was taken, however, by Secretaries Olney and Gresham. and as it Wa sllald a situ ation might arise to test the depart ment's power a legislative act to de clare and ratify tie governments authority was sought at the last ses- sion of congress.

Stock Market Enjoys Brief Respite And Then Takes Another Plunge; U. s.
 Steel Hits Lowest Mark in 3 Years

Today's bre3k was the more sur prising because the market began with a show of firmness, attribut- ed principally to the assurances from banking quarters that the protracted decline of securities and commodities had uncovered no points of financial weakness.
 These same assurances were tempered, however, with the state ment that further liquidation would have to be affected, espec- ially in retail branches of trade. before confidence in the general business situation coudI be restor- ed.
 Much of today's selling, which embraced a number of consp,rn- ous issues including the film stocks, probably had it's origin in these intimations. There were other unsettling developments such as the very unsatisfactory state of the steel industry and the sharp decline in values of shipping charters. Reduction of the quarterly dividend on Ajax Rubber directed renewed atten- ton to the motor industry and af filiated trades and s.ye rise to the belief that many more divi- dend disbursements would be re- duced or entirely suspendde. These same conditions were ap- plicable to coppers and other me tals, as well as feathers, tobaccos and food products.
 Rallies of one to three points in favorite issues at the weak finish were due to short covering rather than actual supporting or buying orders. Gilt edge rails paid toll to the days setback, losing two to fou points.
 General Chemical common, on a single sale of 100 shares, dropped 1912 points. and Famous Players represented the theatrical or film issues at a loss of II points. Sales amounted to slightly over : 100000 shares.
