Court Gdufd ' r Hand Down Its Decision. '."" 'I ; By David Lawrence . t (CMpjrright. by the JdnMU) I Washington. itay 21,Tne dra matic fight between -the Western ifrfioh telegraph company and the JJriited States government over the right to lay a cable at Miami, Fla.. Vhich would connect up with ft ferlt-Jh-owned company In controlling American communication to South America, has come to an end. with victory for the government. ; JNot by aeciaion 'of a court, not by aval action as seemed at one time pecea &.ry, but through the Influence of Sec ;tary of State Hughes. jiosrOEESS ACTED i . ' I Both houses 'of congress have how jessed a bill absolutely removing all jioubt as to the right of the chief ekecu- - ilve to refuse or grant permit to- land ' va blea In the United States. The measure vill be signed by President Harding jid will become law- in a few days. The. race between the Western Union, ; whk'h hoped that the supreme : court fould hand down a decision before con- , jiresg' could - act; and the g-overntTtent. -hlch successfully urged congress to rush he measure through and beat the court's (eclfel0n, is at ah end. - Congress has acted. The cases Before i .the courts now become hypothetical Or "moot cases, and as such can have no ; v validity. . -., .f . . -- ESTEBX UJTIOX WATCHED 3 I The reason for the Western tmldti'S ;?Iope that a favorable decision of the i $urt might be handed down before Cbh c w-ess could act was a supposition that , the United States naVy would be unable ! Jto prevent Ihe landing of the cable at "5 1 ami if the courts upheld the We At 4 m ' 'Union,- and then if the cable was dnce lid-it would be difficult for the gtjVern .ient to displace the Western UhJOjl ! It would be an accomplished fact and lie courts have, in effect, held that the rctual lahding of the cable l In luc'.f a p that cannot b upset by executive , " Tl-Ata. why the navy has kept watch rfn th . Western Union cable boat la ! Vda nttr a nd 9 fV st .-- r ; -ttrj-i't to connect .American territory wtuj the , British cable running from ; rasll. . , " 'SYEB STEP FOUGHT Several attempts to test the cables" ihave been "misunderstood" by the navy, -according to the Western Unions, and gashes have occurred in the vicinity of , Mlaml. All this tension has been Oo csioned by the knowledge of the gov Jtnment en the on hand that the fights the executive to Issue cable permit! jnls never been sharttv defined arid th jiieling. f the Western Union that If -they once landed the Cable, hd law could pset uie arrangement without a big ?amage suit, for it would .fn effecfc.be onflacatlon Of property.

The .WUsOn Admin Utrmilon m4i- Western Unlonr at every step5 Id Its effdrt jy jana a camei v ' -V" "j i . - : rtDOPTS witsdsr potict And fiow the "Hardin administration Jtas adopted exactly the stand of the ; Jireceding administration and has gene step further. It has secured the en actment of a law that will hereafter Hijve the president Of the United SUtes Jie right to- say Whether any foreign jcjncern can land a cable on American . ityrritory. . X ;V jiThis is oi Vast Importance as' a reel p rocal rlsht. lor H Is a known tact that tome European countries have not been i " ' ' - - -'- giving American concerns the same priv ileges that the Europeans have enjoyed in this country and there has been no way to' compel equality iC -treatment until the American government obtained Jurisdiction over the whole thing. FOtt fcltAJiE i)ZAl-. ' it IS not an attempt to bring about government ownership or control of cable communication tmt ah IffBrt to prevent foreign concerns from taking undue . advantage of I American com panies. For example, a French concern could fcpen Ulegr'apir --offices in ,the United Stitet for the distribution of its cables And so cbdld a British company. but the government of France has thus far refused to permit American cable or wifeless concerns to distribute their mes sages throughout France by their own system of local telegraph offices. There Is, oi conrse, back of the dispute between the Western ; Uiiloh and the American government something besides mere law. It Involves aruestton of saving an Americart-owne'd cab com Mnv front' th destructive COmcetitkm of a British company which has formed alliance wltn the Western. Union. 1 .
