THE ALL RED CABLE
SIR W. HALL-JONES INTERVIEWED. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Received September 9, 11.15 p.m. London, September 9. Sir W. Hall-Jones, interviewed on the question of cheaper cables, said it was a monstrous proposition that Britain and the Dominion were unable to reduce charges on the All-British Cable, when messages were sent throughout under our own flag, without the consent of a foreign Power. The consent of the signatories of the Lisbon Convention was only necessary in international matters affecting foreign interests, and messages passing through foreign countries. The denial of deferred rates to code messages was undesirable. It was almost impossible to accurately define what "a plain language cablegram" meant. A better plan would be the reduction of the ordinary charge to eightpence, and double raites for urgent messages. Thus the best results would be secured by the Pacific cable.
