A Mighty Concern
-_----- £53,000,000 Cable and Radio Merger NEW page in the history of Empire communications started Monday last when the all-British cable and radio systems were operated by the new Imperial International Communications, Ltd.. which has a capital of £53,000,000. Sir Basil Blackett, the chairman, on the eve of the mighty concern’s debut, told the "Evening News" that the physical transfer marks a further big step in the rationalisation of Imperial communications. "In the interests of an improved service we are very conscious of our great responsibilities as an Imperial public utility company working with the Governments of the Hmpire and supervised by an advisory committee representing all the Dominions," said Sir Basil Blackett. "We are servants of the public and of the Empire and will spare no pains in endeavouring to serve the interests of our customers and forge even closer invisible links by wire and wireless to keep the several parts of the Empire in intimate communication."
