MERGER APPROVED
COMMENT IN THE PRESS
Australian Press Association.
LONDON, 22nd Nov. Both tlic Conservative and Liberal Press approve of the cable transfer. Editorials concentrate on the Socialist argument that the merger ought to have been in State ownership. The "Daily Telegraph" says: "The fact that the merger is the outcome of a conference representative of Britain, the Dominions) an'l the Grown colonies is sufficient answer to the Labourite theory that the Bill is the product of an international robber gang. National ownership is impossible in an Empire whose component parts will not accept the doctrine of nationalisation, which is fly-blowii." The "Financial N-ews" says: "Mr. Mac Donald assumes that State enterprise is a guarantee of public utility. It is because of the evidence to the contrary that experiments such as the Imperial Communications Company, ar% necessary."
