548 COMMERCE YEARBOOK New York to Buenos Aires without relays. It is believed that a similar service in the reverse direction will be established in the near future. The program of the All America Cables company calls for the construction of about 3,000 miles of submarine cables during 1926, involving the expenditure of over $1,500,000. These additions con- sist of an 800-mile cable from Balboa in the Canal Zone to Santa Elena, Ecuador; a 1,700-mile cable from Lima, Peru, to Valparaiso, Chile, also touching at Iquique, where an extension of 130 miles would provide a connection with Tocopilla; a 785-mile cable from Fisher- man’s Point (Guantanamo Bay), Cuba, to Balboa in the Canal Zone, thus eliminating the manual relays required by the present system. A new office has been opened by the All America company at San Salvador, connecting this capital with the station at La Lib- ertad. Permission has also been granted the same company to estab- lish an office in Guatemala City, which will be connected by land- line with their station at San Jose. The cable operations of most American companies show a marked increase during the year. The Western Union Co.’s revenues from cable transmissions were $10,390,406, as compared with $9,907,275 in 1924. The Postal Telegraph Co., in which system are included the Commercial cables, does not show cable receipts; however, the net profit on cable business for 1924 was slightly in excess of that for 1924. The All America Cables, including the subsidiary company, the Mexican Telegraph Co., shows a net income from operations of $3,026,955 during 1925. The volume of cable traffic between the United States and foreign countries continued to increase during the past year. The use of deferred services at low rates was extended to countries heretofore not enjoying these privileges. AERONAUTICS In December, 1925, a bill was passed by the Senate authorizing the Secretary of Commerce to designate and approve commercial air routes, to provide aids to aerial navigation, and to inspect and register airplanes and license pilots. This legislation was similar to that before the previous Congress in that it provided for applying to air services the existing laws on immigration, customs, etc., and for the regulation of civil air navigation generally. Since the end of the year this measure has become a law. Air services by commercial companies were in regular operation between Seattle and Victoria and between New Orleans and Pilot- town for the transportation of passengers, goods, and foreign mails. A number of operators carried out flichts from fixed bases to various
