Carlton in Heated Tilt With Davis
On Landing of Foreign Cables;
Admits Censorship by British

Of the State Department, was that
for half a century It was the policy
of this government to permit the
landing of ne cables where the for
eign end of the cable was In the
hands of foreign monopoly.
Carlton replied that the policy
was a dead letter, as practically
every cable from the United States
to foreign countries was in the
hands of foreign monopoly. Davis
explained that in many cases for
eign governments refused to live
up to their agreements after cables
were laid. He further charged that
the Western Union Company chare.

mission of official messages. where
1t gave Great Britain and other for
eign nations half rates, and that
the United States was compelled to
pay cash for all service, where for
eign governments were permitted
credit.
TT does not seem fair to us that
this company should charge twice
as much to transmit official mes.
sages as 1t charges the British and
other governments for the same
service" said Davis. I'VE hold that
the government has the right, to
compel this company to accord US
the same privileges given to foreign
countries. This bill should be fur
ther extended to give government
control of all land connections and
radio stations in the United States,
The government was not inform
ed Of the intention of the Western
Union to land a cable at Miami until
the project was near completion"
That is untrue" said Carlton.
The government of the United
States was fully Informed before we
began the work. and only refused
when we were about to complete
the operation"
A wordy argument followed. SEN
ator Kellogg raped for order
Questioned by Kellogg with regard
to British censorship of American
cables, both commercial and oficial,
Carlton frst refused to answer but
later admitted that copies of all
cables were placed in the hands OF
British ofhcials and presumably
were censored.
