Thus far, however, that suggestion has remain- ed in an informal stage and confer- ence leaders are going ahead on the assumption that the provision will re- main in the naval pact.

MMUNICATON I GERMANY TO BE RESTORED Contract Between Commercial Cables!—Postal System and German Atlantic Company Signed Calling for Operation by October^—War Played Havoc With Cable Connections —Liries Will Be Connected at the Azores NEW YORK, Jan. 19—Clarence H. Maekay, president of the Commercial Cables-Postal Telegraph system, an- nounced yesterday that his company had just completed a contract with the German Atlantic Cable Co.. a Ger- man corporation, under the terms of which direct cable communication with Germany will be restored after a lapse of about eight years. This contract, which has just been signed, calls for the laying of a new cable between New'York and Emden, Germany, with tlie cable touching at the Azores. It is to be completed and in operation by October and the ar- rangement provides for the Commer- cial Cable company to lay a cable from New York to the Azores, (28021 miles) aud for the German company to make the. connection between the. Azores and Emden (1SS8 miles). The two sections will be joined at the Azores station and all messages will be trans- ferred automatically from one to the other, thus giving what virtually will be instantaneous service between 'the two countries. The contract further provides that the Commercial Cables- Postal Telegraph system shall hand to the German company all messages col- lected by it in the United States des- tined for Germany, and that the Ger- man company shall reciprocate by sending all of its American traffic, via the Commercial Cables-Postal Tele- graph system. ' The laying of the new cable is the first atempt at resumption of direct communication hetween the United States and Germany. During the war there was no cable communication be- tween Germany and the United States. Since, the signing of the armistice, all cable messages sent between the two countries have had to pass .either through England or France. This plan has not proven satisfactory to Ameri- can business interests-and the new (Continued on Page 2.)

BIRD OF PEACE DQLLAR AN EAGLE, NOT A DOVE WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The bird on the new peace dollar is an eagle —not a dove—in case there' be any ornithological disnute about it.

Bird sharks have been horrified to hear the .eagle described as a dove of peace on a mountain top. In truth it took some digging among mint officials to find out what kind of a bird it\ really was. All the other eagles are spread eagles. i Vice President Called to Te's* I tify Before Lockwood i Committee NEW YOE.K, Jan. 19.—An admis- sion that the General Electric com- pany controlled \perhaps 95 per cent\ of the incandescent lamp business in America, was made today by .one of its vice-presidents, Ansoii W. Burch- ard, before the Lockwood Legislative committee. Mr. Burchard. said he did not con- sider this a monopoly.\ Even if the. General Electric company, exercised 100 per cent control over the indus- try, it would experience competition if any other concern tries to get some of the business, he contended. About 200,000,000 lamps are produced annually in the United States, the witness said. It was partly through ownership ol! thousands of patents .that control was acquired, by the General Electric, the witness, explained. The Westinghouse •Electric company, he said, made about 17 per cent of the lamps'under licenses from the General Electric on which the latter received royalties, and the output of miscellaneous li- censes accounted for anther S per cent. The licenses permitted the pro- duction of a fixed quota and if this is exceeded an additional royalty of 10 per cent must be paid the Gener- al Electric. Samuel Unteroiieyer, committee, counsel, maintained that this added royalty would prohibit' licenses from making more lamps than, the Gener- al Electric wished, thereby permitting that corporation to limit production, but Mr. Burchard denied that such was the case. Then Mr. ITnterineyer commented, profits must he large if a licensee can stand the added 10 per cent.
