WIRELESS AND CABLES
GOVERNMENT’S INTERVENTION. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, January 15. In view of its Imperial importance, the Cabinet has taken over the Cable Conference, completely disassociating the Post Office, which is now placed in the same category as the Pacific, Eastern, and Marconi’s, each of which is submitting to the conference an elaborated statement of its policy, finances, equipment and service capacities. Cabinet has nominated Sir J. Gilmour as British representative instead of Sir W. Mitchell Thompson, and suggests that Sir J. Gilmour be appointed chairman, subject to the approval of the conference, because he is dis-asso-ciated from both cables and wireless. The conference meets on Monday. While there is apparently a definite move towards some plan of co-opera-tion, there is reason to believe that the desirability of maintaining an incentive to improve the services, and give the public the best and cheapest possible service will not be overlooked.
