be obtained, demand direct cable circuits between principal centres of the two sides of the Atlantic, as well as special circuits devoted to .special business. Efficient Service Requires Sufficient Facilities To meet these requirements it is essential not oqly that, there be st all times sufficient cab(e facilities, under one control, but that they should bs operated interchangeably with each other and in close physical connection with land lines as one Ample spare facilities are necessary to provide against the very frequent cable interruptions. Neither the Western Union nor any one of the companies of the Western Union group has, independently of the others, facilities enough to handle the business which at times any one company might be called upon to take care of, because of some particular rush of business, or because of some cable interruption. Nor could any one company furnish all the direct circuits necessary for efficient service, although the combined facilities of these companies are ample if they could be used supplementary to each other and interchangeably. As it is, each company operates its own cables through separate and distinct offices and under separate and distinct management. All interchange of business is by actual transfer of the business from one company to the other, with the consequent delay interruption of a service in which seconds are valuable. i . • 'Yj* ■ V. 1 j Daily and Week-end Cable Letters So soon as the proposed arrangement goes into effect, the Western Union purposes, with the consent of the British Post Office Department, to introduce at least two new features or services in addition to the proposed deferred rede—the DAILY CABLE LETTER and the WEEK-END CABLE LETTER at a very low rate for cable service only. This will enable the pabßc to save the six to eight days consumed in the trans-Atlantic passage of made. Monopoly of Cable Business Impossible There is uo cable monopoly possible. The three systems—the Western UniaS, the French and the Mackay—will continue to exist. The Mackay Companies is a holding organization with no physical property, but exercising through stock ownership, lease or contract, operating control of various companies owning land lines and cables which make up the Mackay System. Through this control all the various properties are operated as one system to great advantage in service over what could be given by thise same companies if operated separately. The French cables form another system. The Western Union System, under the proposed arrangement for one operating control over the present segregated units, will be enabled to make two distinct advances in the trans-Atlantic cable business: i-BETTERSERVICE. Thiswillbe insured by more efficient and econom-. ical working resulting from single' direction over the operations of both cableq and land lines. *—PUBLIC ADVANTAGES. The greater part of the cable capacity haa been and is now unutilized. It will continue to He dormant and unutilised under existing conditions and traditions. The Western Union purposes to make these wasted facilities useful to the public by means of new kinda of cable service. In addition, the Western Union intends to nationalize its land hues by opening them to all trans-Atlantic cable companies. TELEGRAPH COMPANY Then. N. Vail, President
