THE STATESMAN PUBUSfflNG CO. CHARLES A. SPRAGUE, Editor and Publisher Member of The Associated Press The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to' the use for publication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited to this newspaper. What Hath God Wrought?' It will be just a hundred years in May, 1944, since Prof. Morse dispatched! the famous mes sage over the "magnetic, telegraph from ths supreme court room in the national capitol to Baltimore, where his associate, Alfred Vail, was serving as operator. After nearly a cen tury of development, of refinement, of financial promotion, political controversy, prosperity and adversity the telegraph lines of the country are headed for single ownership with the blessing of the congress of the United States. In the present session a bill, long pending, was passed permitting Western Union and Postal companies to combine, and plans are now being prepared for submissionj to the Federal Communications division, whose approval is required. After that is obtained the actual consolidation will take place. The Western Union is the older company and the stronger one financially. It was organized in New York state in 1856 and proceeded to merge existing small companies which then connected various cities of the country. One of its prime movers was Ezra Cornell, who, after going broke in the panic of 1857, took the con tract for digging the trench for the cable - line of the government-financed first line from Washington to Baltimore. The underground cable system failed for lack of proper insulation of the wires, and then the wires were strung on poles with glass insulators as they remain to this day. Cornell stayed with the venture however, made millions, and founded Cornell university at his home town of Ithaca, New York. Considerable of the initial capital of the company was raised around Rochester. One of the early presidents was Hirma Sibley, also a benefactor of Cornell university. In the process of absorbing the segments to be , joined in a continental system Western Union followed the usual pattern of corporate financ ing. Its capital was expanded from $369,700 in 1857 to $41,000,000 in 1867. The company made money, paid good dividends, doubled its capital stock by issuing stock dividends. But it ran into competition itself. The Atlantic & Pacific Tele graph company was formed in 1865, made con nections via Buffalo from New York to Chicago, thence over' the Rock Island railroad lines to Omaha and over the Union Pacific lines to the Pacific coast. Jay Gould, daring Wall street operator of the latter half of the 19th century, picked up control, harried the Western Union till a deal was made, and then organized still another competitor, the American Union Tele graph which pressed Western Union so hard that William H. Vanderbilt called for a truce. The result was the customary corporate merger with more watered stock issued to close the deal. Western Union had one other whirl with corporate affiliation, this time with the Ameri can Telephone or Telegraph company, which had been established in 1885 and became the holding company for. the Bell telephone system. In 1909 the latter company bought a large block of Western Union stock, but due to the objection of the department of justice to the communica tions monopoly the affiliation was dissolved in 1913 and Western Union has remained inde pendent since. Postal Telegraph ic Cable company was or ganized in 1881, hoping to spring to fortune by V taking up two new patents, one the Harmonic telegraph, another a steel wire with copper overlay. In 1883 John W. Mackay. who made a fortune in mining in the Comstock lode in Nevada, bought into the ailing Postal, and in company with James Gordon Bennett, the younger, of the New York Herald, formed Com mercial Cable company which proceeded to lay cables across the Atlantic and the Pacific. Clar ence W. Mackay succeeded his father in 1902 and continued as head of Postal anT Commercial Cables. - Meantime othei- were emerging in the field of communications, particularly Sos . thenes and Hernand Behn, brothers, natives of the Virgin islands. They got their start in telephony by taking over the system on Puerto Rico from a friend who had acquired it on a debt. They expanded their business in the West Indies; acquired control of the telephone system f Spain, which they proceeded to mod ernize; then continued their expansion in Latin America, 'Rumania, Shanghai, Istanbul, and elsewhere under the corporate title of Inter national Telephone 8c Telegraph company. In 1928 International took over Postal Telegraph and Mackay cables as subsidiaries. The depression of the 30s nearly wrecked International but not quite. With great I re , sourcefulness Sosthenes Behn, his brother hav ing died some years ago, has kept his holding company, going in spite of depression and wars. But Postal has had hard sledding. Western , Union was more strongly entrenched, with the advantage of agreements with railroad com pawfes to string wires along their rights-of-way. The RFC loaned $9,000,000 to Postal, but its ; monthly deficit has been reported as run ning around $400,000 per month. Western Union too has suffered , from competition, not only Horror Advertising Granting that some Americans still act as though they "don't know there's a war on," and that none of us on the home front realize it in just the way the Russians do, or the Norwegians, or even the British, it's still an unanswered question just how much war-awareness is de sirable for the good of our souls and for in suring our all-out cooperation. We Americans haven't gone hungry, our homes haven't been bombed, we haven't seen the human shambles left by enemy bombs and gunfire. Some of the peoples who have ex perienced these things are working harder and with less complaint. Some of the pictorial magazines are en deavoring to enlighten us and with their pur pose we have no quarrel. Their pictures show war as it is the gruesome along with the thrill ing. . On the other hand some of the national ad- vertisers have taken to depicting only the grue some; spotlighting the mangled body of an American soldier, death agony written on his face. Accompanying the picture is an appeal for purchase of war bonds or for some other item of cooperation in the war program. These ad vertisers' intentions are good. The reaction, we think, is not. If we are to be shown war's deepest tragedy, let the lesson be entirely un associated with the commercial. The effect upon that growing number of families whose loved ones have died in battle, and particularly upon the relatives of men "missing in action" is hardly matched by what ever value the lesson may have for the rest of us. The headlines are supposed to be the very essence of the news, and therefore "new." But don't they often have a familiar ring; "Spring mud slows up fighting in Russia." "Tons of bombs dropped on Berlin." "Jap flotilla is driven off near Aleutians." "Meat ration is cut. "Chinese repel Jap offensive." "Germaps flee ing in North Africa." But it will be news when, some day, one reads "Hitler dead" without any maybes, and another reads "All fighting ceases." Enthusiasts for the Ruml plan say the op position stems from the fact the treasury didn't think of it first. That objection may have car ried some weight in committee but should not affect congress as a whole, for congress can't afford to be touchy about things someone else thought of first One can only hope it doesn't bump into prejudice based on confusion of "Ruml" with "Rommel." World Language Human beings speak 2796 different languages, including the Scandinavian. Many of those; who are officially listed as speaking the same lan guage; can't understand each other. Indeed as G. B. Shaw once remarked of the English; and Americans, those who actually do speak the same language have difficulty in understand ing each other. People just don't understand each other. And sometimes when they do, they can't get along. We understand Herr Schickl gruber, but we're fighting him just the same. Seriously though, language diversification la a barrier to that international understanding we've been striving for these last two centuries or longer. If this barrier could be broken down, there! would be one less. Talk of achieving uni versal understanding has now gotten around to the discussion of a universal language, as it oft en has before. Talk has a habit of going in cir cles, or cycles. That suggests that it never gets anywhere and illustrates one of the limitations of a universal language's benefit, if we had a universal language. At least thirteen systems aspiring to be uni versal languages have been devised since 1879 but instead of being spoken and written by evervbne, they are used by no one with the sole exception of Esperanto, which is said to be used! occasionally by a million and a half per sons.! The nazis suppressed its use in Germany. If they win and then lick Japan the problem will be solved. German will be the universal language. We, on the contrary, are going to win. The uninformed layman's guess is that - if there ever lis a universal language it will be one previously in use by a large and aggressive frac tion of all human beings. To date, approxi mately 270 million people speak something that passes for English; their numbers are exceeded only by those who speak Chinese, about 488 million. Hindu, Russian and Spanish follow in that order. With all due respect to our valued allies the Chinese, the extension of English to date sug gests that our language has the best chance of becoming universal. But not contrary to our prejudice in its behalf on its merits as a language. In some ways it's one of the worst. j Prodigal's Return j ' New Nov'll by!

The announcement that high officers ef the United States forces in the Pacific have been in Washington for war plans con sultations is grim warning to Ja pan that a new and for her un pleasant chapter of the Pacific war is about to open. It will demonstrate how far the United States navy has recovered from the wounds suffered at Pearl Harbor and what a difference even a small part of America's huge warplane production can make. It may be too much to expect that this new phase can produce decisive results' in 1943 but it is likely to be marked by a bold ness of American planning and action which was impossible while Pearl Harbor still cast it shadow over the Pacific outlook. The Washington announcement indicated that these consultations 1 But both President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill have declared that the Casablan ca program calls for action in the Orient as well as in Europe.
