ENGLISH CONTROL OF CABLES HELPS
 BRITISH BUSINESS
Western Unions Effort to Land Cable Over Federal Veto Discloses Benefits Now
 Enjoyed By Britain
By Associated Press

Washington, December 16.-Direct testi- mony that AmeEican business messages sent over British cables during the war had come into the possession of British business interests was given to a Senate committee today by F K. Hill, formerly an American naval attache of the South American countries.
 The committee also learned from New comb Carlton, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, that the Brit ish naval intelligence authorities now were holding up for examination all cable messages from Great Britain to the United States. MT Carlton was unable to say whether messages to Great Britain or diplomatic messages of the American government were being subjected to such examination, but promised to let the com Inittee know as to the latter
 Captain Hill testified that the most gtaring instance of American messa ges getting itno the hands of British concerns was when the General Electric company submitted a bid for certain electrical installations for Brazilian who re- ceived next day a bid from an English concern to supply the same articles at s. lower price than the American firm of fered
 CARLTON PROTESTS
 This testimony was adduced at further hearings by the committee into the gen. eral question of cable communications and the three-cornered controversy over the landing of South American cable at Barbadoes which involves question of British cable intercoastal monopoly of Brazil.
 Mir Carlton, in discussing the holding up of American messages in Great Brit ain now, said there was some justifica- tion on the practice as the action was to throw light on the international situ- ation, especially with reference to Ire- land. He added that his company had taken a firm stand on the matter, but had been assured that no censorship would be imposed.
 The Western Union president, testifying further as to the attempt to land the Mi ami cable, said his company was pro ceding in an orderly way through the courts to get the cable connected. While the hearing was in progress it was said at the state department that the company had been informed that if it landed the cable via Cuba the permit under which the existing cables were landed at Miami would be altered so as to prevent the trans mission of through messages to Brazil over the British Western company's lines from Barbadoes.
