PRESS CABLE SERVICE.
MOTION IN FEDERAL SENATE. COMMITTEE OF~ENQUIRY SET UP. Received October 22, 10.30 a.m. MELBOURNE, October 22. The Federal Senate adopted Senator Pearce's motion for tbe appointment of a Select Committee to enquire into the conditions of the press cable service. v The Minister for Customs expressed the opinion that the Cable Association was not a newspaper association; it was merely a business venture. Enquiries had utterly failed to show that any monopoly existed or that the association was doing anything detrimental to the interests of the public. The proposal regarding a committee was unreasonable and unfair. Senator Trenwith considered it would be improper to spend public money for the purpose of enquiring into a monopoly which was non existent.
