United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) Received 11.10 a.m. to-day. LONDON, July 1. The “News of the World” understands that the Cable Conference is advising handing over the Government cable and external wireless systems to the merger, but it insists that the latter must be owned, controlled, and operated by British subjects, and that while the Governments of Britain and the Dominions are relieved of certain financial liabilities they should retain power to regulate the cable and beam rates. Finally, control should revert to the Government in the event of war.
