NUMERALS IN CABLE MESSAGES
♦-: Chambers oi! commerce and oilier associations have for some time boon endeavouring to obtain some revision of fclic international regulation restricting numbers, whether in words or figures, in cheap-rate telegrams, whereby they may not exceed one-third of the number of chargeable text words. Recently the Wellington Chamber of Commerce received word from the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire that "the London Chamber of Commerce and other chambers throughout this country, contending that the oxclusion of code words from deferred messages is wrong in principle and tends to restrict the development of inter-Imperial trade, have already made representations to the authorities urging that the regulation bo rescinded. A further effort in this direction will bo made on the occasion of the next meeting of tho International Telegraph Conference in 1930, which body alone is competent to impose or withdraw regulations controlling internationl telegraphy."
