GROUND CLEAR FOR ACTION. *1 CABLI—PRIM ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, July 24. Mr Gibson, commenting on the wireless agreement, said the ground was now clear for the Dominions to take action which had hitherto been impossible. It was most satisfactory that the Government was preparing to give Australia either a super or beam system. The former could not be erected within two years, and it was essential that communication should be established as early as possible. He was confident that ! the Commonwealth would take the necessary steps to connect the two countries with the beam system, although it might not be sufficient for all requirements, giving only seven hours’ service, none being business hours. Communications could be obtained within eight months, and it might then be necessary to erect a super station to ensure a continuance service.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. LINKS IN EMPIRE CHAIN.
