PUBLIC DISCUSSION DEMANDED. "DAILY EXPRESS" ATTACKS CONFERENCE. (bt cable—peess association—copyright.) (AUSTRALIAN AND K.2. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received January 18th, 6.55 p.m.) LONDON, January 18. Complaining of the secrecy of the meeting between representatives of the caßTe and wireless interests, the "Daily Express" says: Oheaper communications affect the business world and news agencies. The Empire's trade intelligence services cannot afford to have costs raised against them by deals behind the scenes or any Government Department's notions of commercial diplomacy. An issue of such public importance demands public discussion."
PACIFIC CABLE. CANADA'S ATTITUDE. (BT CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) OTTAWA, January 17. Mr L. J. Garboury, Deputy Post-master-General, and Mr C. P. Edwards, Director of Radio, at the Cable Conference in London, will stress the point that Canada's attitude has not altered since 1926. Beam wireless cut the revenue of the Pacific cable, wiping out £11,000,000 of accumulated profit. The Board was facing recurring deficits. Canada will oppose further expenditure till the possibilities of wireless are fully investigated.
