CABLES AND WIRELESS
1 ♦ THE LONDON CONFERENCE. NEW BRITISH DELEGATE. (A.P.A. and "Sun" Cables.) (Received This- Day, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON January 14. In view of its Imperial importance Cabinet has taken over the Cable Conference, completely dissociating the Post Oflice, which is now placed in the same category as the Pacific, Eastern, and Marconi conferences, each of which would submit to the conference an elaborated statement of its policy, finances, equipment and service capacities. Cabinet has nominated Mr Gilmour as British representative insteadof Sir William Mitchell-Thompson '(Post-master-General) and suggests that Mr Gilmour be appointed chairman, subject to approval of the conference because he is dissociated with both cables and wireless.
The conference will meet on Monday. While there is apparently a definite movement toward some plan of co-oper-ation there is reason to believe that the desirability of maintaining incentive to improve the services and to give the public the best and cheapest possible will not be ovrlooked.
