New York, Feb. 16.—A new cable from New York to IFrance by way of the Azores, will be laid as soon as possible by the Commercial Ca“le Co., the stockholders were informed today in the annual report of President Clarence H. Mackay Applications have been filed with the United States, Portuguese and French gov- ernments for permission to land the line in their respective territories, he said. This projected cable 3,898 miles in length would supplement the present line of the Commercial Co. which lands at Havre and New York. The report reviewed the agreement with the German Atlantic Cable Co. for laying a cable from Emden, Ger- many, to the Azores and thence to America to be ready before October 1923, and the application, now pend- ing at Washington, for permission to land and operate a second Pacific cable linking San Krancisco and the J"ar lSast. Negotiations also are being conducted with the Dutch govern- ment for a direct wire from London to Rotterdam or Amsterdam. “A comprehensive and adequate ca- ble system is fundamental to the con- tinued leadership of the United States in world affairs,” Mr. Mackay wrote. He said the new position of the Unit- ed States made broad programs for extension imperative for American ca- ble companies which, he argued, should be “backed to the limit" by the government with moral and diplo- matic assistance.
