BRITAIN AND AMERICA. CABLES, SHIPPING, AND OIL. STATEMENT OF THE AMERICAN CASE,

[Mr. Mark Sullivan, a writer who before and during the war, was very friendly to England, contributes an article to the "New York Evening Post, owned by Mr. T. W. Lamont, a partner of Messrs. Pierpont Morgan's, on the subject of cables, shipping, and oil, which is of much interest as showing the American point of view. We reproduce the article, which is dated Washington. Dec. 3, in full.]

THE TROUBLE OVER THE CABLES.

Three incidents in the news that has arisen in Washington during the past week are related to one an other and are phases of one of the most important conditions in con temporary history. None of these incidents has been made wholly, clear to the public in all its bearings, and one of them at least is quite imperfectly understood.

The first that I refer to consists of the various dispatches stating that a caval cruiser is on guard off the coast of Florida to prevent a cable which is owned by the Western Union from being landed on the American coast.

This spectacle,, as pictured by the bare dispatches, is most extraordin ary. But I do not use the word extraordinary" in any sense critical of the Navy or of the Govern ment. On the other hand, having loaked into the matter with some care, I think the Navy Department, the State Department, and President, who personally refused the permit to land the cable, are all quite in the right. But the incident has a bearing which will only appear later and which, it is not too much to say, will affect the course at the world.

The whole subject of the fair and proper control of interna tional cable is very big and extremely complex. Cables are so to speak, an international.public utility.

BRITAIN, G

At this point comes the significance of the Mesopotamian incident. Coal

take wise, appears destined to its place. Knowledge of this fact will enable anyone to see the very great, necessity lying upon Great Britain to own or control oil supplies adequate to her dominance in ship- ping.

But this, cable incident does not and alone. It is merely one aspect of a worldwide competition between the United States and Great Britain

So long as coal was the fuel, she is foreign trade and foreign shipping. In this Held hitberto Great Britain's owned abundant supplies on her possession of a large proportion of home island; but if oil is to be the the world's cable facilities has given fuel, she must have her supplies her a great advantage. In the newly wherever she can acquire them. This, awakened national self-consciousness it may be taken for granted, explains: of the United States and in our new her concern about the Mesopotamian ambition to be a larger factor in fields, and, to a degree, our world shipping and world trade ambition to compete with her in America is disposed to regard. Great shipping explains our concern that Britain's possession or control of so the Mesopotamian oil shall be open much of the world's cable facilities to all comers equally. as a handicap against us which we. cannot afford to let continue.

The next incident, superficially has no connection with the cable incident, but seen in its true bearings is a part of the same situation. I refer to Secretary Colby's note protesting against Great Britain's apparent dis position to assume an exclusive at titude in its relation to the oil resources of Mesopotamia.

THE FANAMA TOLLS.

дет

The third incident bearing on the same general situation is the emergence of discussion of the Panama Tolls Act. If we are to be a shipping nation, it is felt that we should give our coastwise ships the benefit of the fact that we built and own the Panama Canal.

If we are to achieve a position in shipping and foreign trade, compar- able to that which Great Britain has BRITAIN'S DOMINANCE IN SHIPPING. The British Empire, on its economic had for many generations, "we can side, rests upon commercial shipping. only do so through time, patience, and commercial skill 1ac British islands have no great re- and the building up of the reputation sources such as we have favourably for located iron ore, enal, and other.raw integrity that makes Great Bri material; no fruitful wheat and corn tain's prestige in every part of Asia lands, and the like.
