LONDON’S WORLD-WIDE SERVICE. [BT CABLE —PEESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.] RUGBY, February 10. Sir Kingsley Wood, Parliamentary Secretary for Education, speaking at laying of the foundation stone by the Lord Mayor of a new London telephone building, said that London had become the telephone switch board of the world. The overseas telephone services had be-en extended to twentyfour different countries on the Continent, and the whole of Europe was now covered, except part of the Balkans and Russia. A great Trans-Atlantic service connected Europe via London, with the whole of the North American Continent, and was much the most important radio telephone service in the world. International services now provided from Britain, enabled a British subscriber to obtain access to well over 90 per cent, of tho world’s telephones, and forthcoming extensions would increase this figure.
