HUGE CABLE CONCERN
COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY TAKES OVER CAPITAL OF £53,000,000 [United Service) LONDON Saturday. A new page in the history of Empire communications will be turned on Monday when the all-British cables and wireless systems will be operated by the new Imperial and International Communications Company. Limited, which has a capital of £53,000,000. Sir Basil Blackett, chairman of the company, on the eve of the mighty concern's debut, told a representative of the “Evening News” that the physical transfer of the services marks a further great step in the rationalisation of Imperial communications. In the interests of an improved service the company was very conscious of its great responsibilities as an Imperial public utility concern. The services would be worked in conjunction with the Governments of the Empire and would be supervised by an advisory committee representing all the Dominions. The company was the servant of the public and of the Empire, and would spare no pains in its endeavour to serve the interests of its customers.
Even closer invisible links would be forged by wire and by wireless to keep the several parts of the Empire in intimate communication.
