CANADA WILLING, AUSTRALIA NOT,
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
MELBOURNE, May 19. (Received May 19, at 10.40 a.m.)
Mr Drake has received the text of the proposal for free Press messages from Canada. The communication states that by way of experiment, and with a view to other arrangements being eventually entered into, Australia and New should be invited to join with Canada, in asking the Pacific Cable Board to transmit 500 words daily either way. Mr Drake officially replied that the Postal Act precludes the Commonwealth entertaining such a proposal.
