MIDDAY CABLES SUGGESTION TO PACIFIC BOARD
EVENING UP THE WORK. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) (Received March 26, 10.20 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The Sydney Telegraph, in a leader referring to Mr. Rhodes's statement that the Pacific cable stands unused during the day, suggests that a system of cheap midday cables would meet the needs of private persons, thus encouraging an even distribution of messages all day. Then there would be no excuse for not reducing the rates and keeping them reduced. CONCESSION TO NEW ZEALAND. (Received March 26, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, 25th March. At a meeting of the Pacific Cable Board, Sir Matthew Nathan moved the rejection of the concession on New Zealand cable rates. Discussion on the motion was deferred at the instance of Sir Henry Babington Smith, Chairman of the Board. [In connection with the proposed concession (<W a word) on cable rates to New Zealand, which was decided on by the Pacific Cable Board, there was considerable disagreement among members of the Board, resulting in the resignation of the chairmanship by Sir Henry Primrose.]
