CABLES AND WIRELESS

PRESS UNION’S MEMORANDUM. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 23. (Received January 24, at 12.50 p.m.) The maintenance of some element in wireless and cable competition in tlm interests alike of the Press and the public is emphasised in the Empire Press Union’s memorandum to the Wireless Conference. It further points out that in the absence of com petition—the possibility of which is now apparent—and of scientific research, there will be stagnation in commercial enterprise as shown by the cable administrations before wireless came in. It is essential in the interests of international understanding and co-operation that there must be the quickest and cheapest Press facilities, with due regard to the possibility of luturc reductions in Press rates. The memorandum finally quotes the Geneva Press' Conference’s resolution advocating the maximum -of competition.—A. and N.Z. and ‘Sun’ Cable.
