The rapid development of Interna- 4^ , _ ~, »,.,- . ~ tloaal telephone communication dates pttenda St. Martine, - Que., from 1922 when only Cuba and Cana- da were iinked to the United States. At j with her parents the present time telephone service con- j T _ u ^.,,1 * nects this country with more than fifty foreign countries located on every con- tinent, also with many of the inlands of the world. The 8,700-mile direct radio telephone circuit recently opened be- tween San Francisco and Java illus- trates the tremendous distances which have been overcome in order to extend the scope of telephone service. Today more thau nine-tenths of all telephones throughout the world can be quickly reached from telephones in any part of the United States. The significance of this appears clearly from the total number of tele- , 'phones in the world. The latest official figure gives this as close to 33,000,000. . More than one-half, or 53 per cent, are in the United States; 33.6 per cent, or one-third, are in Europe; and 3.8 per cent are In Canada. The remaining 10 per cent are distributed throughout the rest of the world. The United ' States, which leads in total number of * telephones, also leads by a large mar- j^n in the number of telephones rela- tive to population. For each 100 people there are approximately fourteen tele* phones in this country, nearly seven times the number for each 100 of pop- ulation in Europe. Even comparatively rural areas in ; this country average about 10 tele- phones par 100 people.
