CABINET TAKES OVER CABLE CONFERENCE
IMPERIAL IMPORTANCE VALUE OF COMPETITION By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. In view of its Imperial importance, Cabinet has taken over the cable conference, completely dissociating the Post Office, which is now placed in the same category as the Pacific, Eastern and Marconi Companies, each of which is submitting to the conference an elaborated statement of its policy, finances, equipment and service capacities. Cabinet has nominated Sir John Gilmour as the British representative instead of Sir W. Mitchell-Thompson, Postmaster-General, and it suggests that, Sir John Gilmour be appointed chairman, subject to the approval of the conference, because he is dissociated from both cables and wireless. The conference meets on Monday. While there is apparently a definite move toward some plan of co-opera-tion, there is reason to believe that the desirability of maintaining an incentive to improve the services, and give the public the best and cheapest possible, will not be overlooked.—A. and N.Z.
