AT A PENNY A WORD.
"CABLE POST FOR THE MILLION." By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright Sydney, June 16. Sir Henniker Heaton, in a long letter to the press, enumerates the claims and advantages of cheap cables. Ho says: "We want cable post for the million, and vested interests alone stand in the way. Millions of years in time would be saved by the people of the Empire by electrio .communication being made general to the southern portion of the Empire fllone."
gir Henniker suggests, as a first step, meetings of the Postmasters-General of the Dominions. If they resolved to have land lines, costing only £20, in place of cables costing .£2OO per mile, and political frontiers for telegraph lines abolished, a near approach of the ideal of penny-a-word messages would bo secured.
