PACIFIC CABLE SALE
HOME PAPER'S COMMENT
(From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, 4th October. "G.K.'s Weekly" refers to SirJoseph Ward's statement in regard to the communications merger. "Our readers," says the .-journal, "will remember that we attacked tlie Imperial Telegraphs Bill when it was before Parliament. Our opinion is confirmed at last by the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Sir Joseph Ward; but it strikes us as, odd' that his attack upon the Bill occurs in the course of a speech wherein he introduced a measnre formally approving of New Zealand's acquiescence in the merger. "And at that late hour Sir Joseph regretted that New Zealand had had no opportunity of protesting against the sale of the Pacific cable. The only opportunity occurred last November."
