GERMAN CABLES.
QUESTION OF DISPOSAL. (By Cable. —Prees Association. —Copyright.) (United Service.) PARIS, May 3. Germany will renounce her rights to 15 German main cables, but the Council has not decided how to dispose of them. President "Wilson opposed the British scheme of redistribution, and urged that it was undesirable that submarine cables, which were of great importance, should become a monopoly. He suggested that the Allied and associated Powers should act as trustees of these cables pending the establishment of an International Convention. The Council has authorised President Wilson to draw up a formula covering his suggestion and providing that, subsequently, the Allies and the associated Powers may determine under what national or international mandate they will be used.
