OVERSEAS SEAS SERVICES VALUE OF WIRELESS COMPETITION London, May 6.

He announced that the union was presenting Mr. Townend, the principal guest, with a portrait, in oils, in commemoration of his seventy-one years of newspaper work. He added that English newspapers could improve the service to the Dominion if the cable companies, instead of conserving their surpluses, would reduce cable costs and also if competitive wireless were available the service would be better still. Sir Hugh Denison. Sir George Fenwick, and a host of London editors were present.—Sydney “Sun” Cables.
