Cable Combine

I mportant Effects (GENERAL HARBORD, at Minneapolis,. delivered an address in which he referred to the merger of cables and radio in Britain. "This new combined British communications interest will," he said, "affect American relationships in every part of the world. There will hardly be a port or principal city in the planet not reached by British communications. American trade in every quarter of the globe cannot but be profoundly affected. National defence must reckon with the planetary combination of communications by the British." General Harbord deplored the White Act of 1927 forbidding the purchases of radio systems by cable companies and vice versa in the United States.
