CABLE MERGER.
REPLY TO SIR JOSEPH WARD
(United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph • Copyright.) ("Times” Cables.) Received 1.50 p.m., to-day. LONDON, August 27. The “Times” city editor says Sir Jospeh Ward’s criticism of the cable and wireless merger seems to be based on a misapprehension, since the merger was recommended after careful consideration by a. conference on which Sir James Parr represented New Zealand. The Government cables were not remunerative or likely to become so, wherefore it was decided to sell them, the Governments obtaining very generous terms. Sir Joseph Ward’s suggestion that the merger company can dictate terms, ignores the Imperial Conference’s decision that the Imperial Government, through an advisory committee, shall control the merger company’s policy and shall approve of nominations of certain board l members.
