TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES
BOARD MEMBERS VISIT NEW ZEALAND
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, March 24. Although radio had been developed for telecommunications throughout the Commonwealth, it was hot likely to displace the use of cable routes, said Colonel Sii Stanley Angwin, chairman of the Commonwealth Telecommunications Board, in Wellington today. Sir Stanley Angwin, who will be in New Zealand for about a fortnight before going to Australia, is leading a delegation from the board on a tour of constituent members. Another member of the delegation, Colonel H. Myers, representing South Africa, who arrived in New Zealand before Sir Stanley- Angwin, is also in Wellington. Other representatives, including the New Zealand member of the board, Mr H. W. Curtis, will arrive later. When radio first “burst over the horizon” some of the cable people thought that it would replace their c 3bles. Sir Stanley Angwin said, but that had not proved to be the case. As a result of research and developments in cables, and because of atmospheric limitations on radio, it was now realised that the two services were complementary, and must be developed together.
