PRESS CABLEGRAMS.
SHARING THE REDUCTIONS. (Received 10.:i0 a.m.) LONDON, February 4. The. Pacific. Cable Board at its last meeting rc-cived a letter from Lord b'lirnham stating that the Press Union understood that while the Board was averse to hearing the whole suggested 20 per cent reduction on Press cables, here was reason to believe it was agreeable to equally sharo the reduction with the Imperial and Commonwealth Governments.
The board replied that it was communicating with both Governments. The Australian and New Zealand Press Association understands that the British Post Office some time ago indicated its willingness to reduce Press tolls on Imperial cables by one halfpenny. There arc good grounds for believing that the Pacific Cable Board is now prepared for a similar reduction on condition that the Commonwealth foregoes the halfpenny from landing charges.— (A. and N.Z.)
