CABLES AND WIRELESS
POLICY OF WESTERN UNION COMPETITION WELCOMED. Press Association—By Telegraph' Copyright LONDON, April 11. (Received April 12, at 11 a.m.) The annua! report of the Western Union Telegraph Company, commenting on the extraordinary advance of radio invention and its effect on the Atlantic and Pacific circuits, says; “We are frequently asked: What is the effect of radio upon the cable business? Our reply is that radio has increased the volume of communications, stimulated the service, and developed trade to countries where cables are less effective because of our terminal delays on Government laud. On the other hand, the cable traffic lias materially increased bo tween points where cable companies control the terminal facilities. The policy of the Western Union is against telegraphic cable monopoly, because compeliion is salutary, stimulating, and in the public interest, and should be maintained.”—Australian Press AssociationUnited Service.
