URGENT MATTER
EMPIRE PROBLEM.
Uneconomic Communications
Discussed. COMMITTEE TO STUDY. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 2.30 p,m.) LONDON, July 31. In his address to the Bristol summer school of the Royal Empire Society Mr. Edward Wilshaw, chairman of Cables and Wireless, Limited, made a reference to re-examination of the communications position in the British Empire as already agreed to in principle by the Empire Governments. Ho announced that Sir Campbell Stuart would preside over the committee considering the problem.
Mr. Wilshaw pointed out that up to the present time the British Empire had predominated in the matter of world communications, but the position was being seriously challenged and there was a grave danger of these communications becoming wholly uneconomic.
The Governments of the Empire had, moreover, agreed that a committee consisting of representatives of the Dominions and colonies should examine the matter. Mr. Wilshaw concluded by emphasising that the Empire telegraphic communications are an essential part of the defence problem.
