It is a long standing problem in measure theory whether any exhaustive submeasure on an algebra is continuous with respect to a positive real-valued measure. This problem is known as Maharam's control measure problem and was posed (in an equivalent version) by \textit{D. Maharam} [Ann. Math. (2) 48, 154--167 (1947; Zbl 0029.20401)]. The author gives a negative answer to this problem constructing a suitable submeasure on the algebra of clopen sets of the Cantor set.
