LONDON TRAFFIC.
GOVERNMENT CONTROL SUGGESTED By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 26, 1.40 a.m. London, Jan. 24. The newspapers are discussing a proposal that the London traffic combine should hand over the "tubes" and omnibuses to the Ministry of Transport on similar terms to the railways, by which the Government is guaranteeing shareholders pre-war dividends. The papers point out that the combine's move is due to widespread protests against the Combines Bill, seeking Parliamentary sanction to substantially increase fares. The Government might be willing to take over the "tubes," but not the omnibuses, which are responsible for seventy per cent of the estimated deficit.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
