It is doubtful whether it Will ho possiblo to arrango for a material alteration in the charge of code telegrams to Australia Wliilo tho terminal charge in tho Commonwealth for full Tate messages remains as high as sd. per word. It would be difficult for tho Imperial Gov--1 ernment to support a State-owned Atlantic cable, sinco it would be unable to bo worked on a commercial basis without a deceit of £20,000 per annum.
