Motta, speaking on the re port of the committee; recalled the rejection of Germany's appli cation for admission by the peace conference, saying that Switzer land had always regretted it and that there were now three places vacant in. the league, which ought toi be" filled by the United States, Russia and, Germany. . At the mention of Germany, M. Viviani sprang to his feet and asked for the floor and. upon the conclusion of M. MottaV speech. In which the Swiss delegate ap pealed to the assembly for jus tice. M.

Mr. Carlton's statement was made in testimony before a sen ate interstate commerce sub-committee, which has before it an administration measure giving the executive department abso lute control over the landing of cable lines on American soil. He was one of four witnesses exam ined at the opening of an Inquiry j into the whole subject of cable testimony the committee develop ed, among other things, that the All-America Cables, Inc., an Am erican concern, is engaged with Ihe support of the state depart ment in a fight against the West ern .Telegraph company of Great Britain and the Western Union, in an effort to break the cable monopoly enioyed by the British company in Brazil. There also was- testimony that the all-America-company enjoys cable monopolies in several Cen tral and Sooth American coun tries; that the international com munications conference here had reached a tentative agreement that no censorship shall be im posed upon cable messages mere ly passing through relay points; that there is no cable communi cations between the United States and Germany except over British controlled: lines; that some for eign governments are subsidizing news agencies disseminating reports-in other countries and that the Western Union plans further independent connections through American cable lines to Italy, Holland, and Scandinavia. Independent Lines lrnposeI. The committee will continue it inquiry tomorrow and again next week and it plans to inquire par ticularly into the matter of the dissemination of American news abroad and handling of cable messages of American firms seek ing foreign businers. These sub jects were touched upon gener ally today and the committee re ceived suggestions from Mr. Carl ton thati independent cable lines be established between the United States and Japan and the Untied States and China for the exchange of news, between those countries Mr. Carlton said that the cen sorship of foreign cabr.es was not to be feared in time of peace. He said it required a very big organ Ization to censor communications and that those had been broken up by European countries gener ally since the war. Mr. Carlton discussed at lenrth the refusal of the American gov ernment to permit the landing at Miami, Fla.. of his company's ca ble from Baradoes. which is to connect with the British lnei there to Brazil, and charged that by its action, the government was seeking to preserve "a United States-South American . monopoly In favor of another company." Elihu Root Give Opinion. Elihu Root Jr., appearing for the All-America cables, gave an entirely different version. He said the question in stopping the Mi ami cable landing was that it might lead to the British company giving up its Brazilian monopoly and charged that the Western Un ion entered into a contract wilh this British company by which the American concern would direct to the British line all the. business collected by it in the United States. Mr. Root said this contract with the! Western Union was a counter attack by the British company on .the All-America cables as a result of the latter company obtaining through litigation In Brazil per mission to build Its own lines to Santos and Kio de Janeiro. He added that the All-America was given the option '"of retaining its west coast monopoly and giving ut its lines on the east coast of South America, or taking on in a commercial war the two greatest commercial communication com panies. Action Conforms With Tradition. The All-America company, he said, refused the offer.
