Mr Milward, manager of the Pacific Cable Board, commenting on Canada's recently announced contract with the Poulsen Wire* Lss Company, foreshadows a i eduction in the cost of coded cables to London, from 3s to 35 Bd, a saving of fouipence per word- Though he had no infor-, mation from the London office as I to the matter, if the w.ieless j system proved efficient and a benefit to the publ.c, the Pacific Company would certainly make' arrangements with the Poulsen j Company to carry their messages to Australia at whatever reduc- ! tion rates could be obtained, and it would be passed on to -the public at the same time. He looked upon wireless communication across the Atlantic as in a ' somewhat nebulous state. Someth'n.j; would have to be done to make the system more reliable tiian at present before it can generally be used for commercial aad Press pui poses.
