No RTat Importance was attached to the action of our Rovcrnmcnt in rc H, fusing to allow the Western rnion to land a cable on the const of Florida until the disclosure thai the purpose of the move is to protect Anicriean ca bio interests from ilx- undermining cf- forts of British cable companies. Mark Sullivan sees in this action of our government one of several ma H. neuvers to battle with Great Britain for the trade of the world, and he j II appears that the cable which H the Weatt rn Union I to . land runs only to one of the Brit- ish islands in the West Indies. At Barbadoes it is intended to con nect with a British cable line which runs to South America and which has a monopoly of the cable ' business in Brazil. If the Western ; rnion were permitted to land this cable, it would foliow thai cable messages for South Americ a origi nating in Western I'nion territory in the United States would be rout- ed over a British cnble and would be to the benefit of a British com pany which aims to maintain a mo nopoly in Brazil. The point can only be under stood when it is further br rne in mind that ihere is an ail-American cable, originating in New York, touching at Panama, going down the west coast of South America and competing with the British company in these countries of South America win re the British company does not already have an exclusive monopoly. The action of our governmt m is intended to protect the interests of the Arm : ican company This bare outline of the facta H does not purport to be complete Q and is not enough to form a just Judgment without rhe knowledge Hk of further minute and technical 1 details. This whole subject of the fair and proper control of inter national cables is very big and - tremely complex. Cables are, so to speak, an international public M But thifl cable incident does not H stand alone. It is merely one as- H pect of a world-wide competition between the United States and Great Britain in foreign trade and foreign shipping In this field B' hitherto Great Brttlan's posse-. -ion H of a large proportion of the world's j cable facilities has given her ;t great advantage In the newly- awakened national self -conscious- j ness of the United States and in H our ambition to be a larger factor in world shipping and world tirade. America is disposed to regard Great Britain's possession or con H j trol of so much of the world's cable facilities as a handicap H against us which we cannot afford aaaaaaaS to let continue If Mark Sullivan Is rlKht, the United B States is proceeding to make possible H the taking frcm Great Britain of mas ! MM I H ten.' of the commerce of the ocean. That writer believes we are witness-1 I lng and participating in one of th? I great shifts in trade dominance which ' occur only once in several centuries, and which in the past have been as j "Great Brillan v on her supremacy , I from Holland.
