WIRELESS AND CABLES
GOVERNMENT CONTROL. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) ■ LONDON, March 23. “The Times,” in a leader on the cable and wireless companies’ offer to take over the Government Atlantic, and Pacific cables, says: It is a businesslike proposal, and has apparently attracted the Dominion Governments which are not unwilling to be relieved of the unprofitable cables, but the British Post Office is reported to be unwilling to part with the profitable beam stations. American wireless cable competition tends to increase, and British enterprise must be prepared to compete efficiently therewith, although it not necessarily regards it primarily as a mattei’ of cutthroat hostility. If British control is absolute in the British sphere there is no disadvantage from friendly cooperation elsewhere. The Imperial Conference will be guided by public interest, deciding whether the British Post Office retains the beam stations, but competition undoubtedly requires a most efficient form of unified administration.
