Mr. Vail J art ol tbe Electrical Trantmi— ion ol Intelligence, and by dc-cribing the hit- 1 tory, metbodi. development and achieve- > mentt ol the art. maket an.unantwcrabli argument for a univi-r-al aytiem of lhgreatest benefit to the public and yet properly regulated and controlled from x tingle federated source. He tays thwire ayatem of the future will be om ! nation-wide system under tingle cont mi " by or over which direct communicatioi sua be eataMisbed between any twe placet lor the electrical trantmisvion ol any communication or of the tpokrr word: and every individual place wil' - be tbe center of the ayatrm for transmitaion in any direction to the limit of Mr. Van's second premise is contained in the following question: "Should Ihe United States become the center ol the cable system commensurate with and sufficient to fully protect its political and position ? " The world's system of international electric communication has been built, up primarily on the basis of connecting the commercial world with the old cenfocusing these world facilities, as it were, on the old world's centers of tiooal prestige. local interests, competitive enterprise have influenced' location. these facilities are not in all cases arranged to be productive of tbe maximum possibilities of either broad efficiency or thegrcatrst economy. The United States is connected with this world aystrm but on one side as a contributing field to be_ reached and exploited. ana not primarily as a center. We must give our commerce what it needs and what the commercqpf the old ctHintriea already has. Oor international wire service has become a "utility of neevarity," and must be treated accordFrom the United States to the greater part of the world electrical intercomYmunication is expensive and roundabout . By utiliring and unifying the operations of the -existing and abundant transatlantic cable facilities, direct connection can be established with every country in Europe through some immediate rearrangement. and at toon as possible some relaying, relocating, some extension ol the old and tbe laying of some new cables. While private property must I* respected. proprietary rights should not be allowed to obstruct this solution anymore than proprietary rights of any utility ahould prevent regulated or controlled operation. The constitutional rights in each case are identical. ' The United States must be brought into the center of a world system of electrical intercommunication. Its ships and merchants must not depend upon the gracious courtesy of any other country to get direct home-wire communication. This country is spending thousands of millions of dollars to build ships to compete for foreign commerce and yct-leaves the very "essential" to the building up of foreign commerce— quick, reliable intercommunication— entirely to private initiative and to foreign enterprise. With at many tent of nuHions and the paSsscontrolled in tbrTinftrf Smtes?a ayatem could be built up which would put the business ol the United States, as >t were, at the front door of every business house of the srorld. Of what use will be the expenditure of money and effort in lie hall of American commerce if i here are to be no abundant available facilities of communication for the agents who spread that commerce and if the ships that carry it cannot have a ready communication without tbe consent of any foreign nation? ft is to be regretted that the questions ol Government ownership and superior foreign rights have been brought into this cable question to handicap the soluof this big ,nd most important problem, which must 1* settled from an American standpoint by some co-ordi-nated exxrdated combination of Govern- y ment authority and private operation or operation founded on the best traditions of private operation free from political I interference and combined in a federalired corporation. , ■ "n*** ** no question as to the nght or *he^ necessity of the United »am tc teald ui commcuul jaur> '
