FIGHTING FOR THE
TRADE OF THE WORLD.
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 !

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. Holland in turn won it ,
I from Spain, which had ;t at the timr-
j she provided the ships that doscov- 1
j ered America and bean the oolonisa-
f tion of the. American continent Spain
I took it from Portugal. Portugal from

1 to Carthage and Tyre."
I ALLIANCES TO SUPPLANT

Now that the United States Is not to
i become a member of the League of Na
1 tions. the French people see the nr-' h
J sity of safeguarding France bj enter
al lng into an alliance with Great Brlt
J ' ain. This is made necessary by reason
jj of the fact that, when the central
'I powers onco more become strong,
3 Franco alone will be too weak to resist
any encroachments from over the
i Rhine.
M This means that Europe cannot de-
"a pend on the League of Nations as now
4 constituted to ward off war Already
, disintegration has srt in. ArKentino
j has given notice of withdrawal.
1 Without the United States the
- 3 league must fall to pieces, and Europe

Jj are the forerunners of war
J3 Within twenty years, or as soon as

RULE OFBRITISH
Speakers at New York Meet
ing Condemn "Exploitation
of Indian Empire
NSW Y'Milc, Dec. 6. Appointment'
of a committee to go to India to in-1
vestlgnte charges of alleged British
misrule In that country was provided
for in resolutions adopted here Sun
day at the ful convention of thei
Prlenda of tVee'dom of India.
Among the charges alleged were!
thst "Great Britain has ruled and'
dominated India In the exclusive In-,
terests of the British empire" and
that "as a din . t resull of British
exploitation the native industrial sys
lem has broken down " 1 thei . harges
made were that .Great Britain has
steadily cut off the means of cduca
tlon; imposed exresshe taxation: en
forced exportation "which has liter
ally starved millions of the people, of
India," and that under British rule
deeds of Violence, deaths from plague,
sickness and misery have Increased.
The convention ended with a ma.'-s
meeting. The speakers Included Sen

After senator .Norrls' declaration
that the peace treaty was a betrayal
of the principles for which the war
u.i fought, a member of the audi
ence yelled:
"How about Russia?"
"I .think that is one of the blackest
spots in American history that the
president of the I'nlted States with
out a declaration of war on the part
of congress, should have sent Amori-
l M
can soldiers to die on the snows of
Siberia ami northern Russia." &LLw
At this juncture, another voice from BaaBBa
the audience cried. hbbbbI
"Impeach him!" SiH
To this statement, the senator re- Jafil
plied that "every man and every of- IHh
