COMMERCIAL WIRELESS
CABLE MEN ARE NOT AFRAID.
(Received 10th May, nooa.)
. SYDNEY, This Daj, Mr. Milwasd, manager' of the Pacific Cable Board, says the duplication of the cable between Canada and Fiji is held up pending tests of a new cable which is calculated to increase considerably the speed of transmission of messages and to bring about a reduction in rates. All cable companies recognise that if the tests are successful they will bring about a revolution in cable telegraphy. The carrying capacity is expected to bo increased eight times. Mr. Milward added that while he admitted that wireless would play an important part for strategic purposes he did not fear it commercially, in the near future in any event. If commercial wireless developed, the cable concerns hoped, by an ultimate reduction of rates, to compete successfully against it.
