DOMINION NEWS SERVICE
LEADING WORLD AGENCIES. SYDNEY, May 12. The cost of collecting and transmitting the Australian Associated Press service to members now exceeded £150,000 a year ; it was stated at the half-yearly meeting of the A.A.P. "It is doubtful," said the acting-chairman (Mr F. Lloyd Dumas), "if any previous great event in history has been so well prepared for by the newspapers and news agencies as the coming invasion of Europe. "The Association/ has in addition to its own staff of men the benefit of the services of the leading world news agencies such as Renter's, the Pres 3 Association, the Associated Press, the United Press and such newspapers as the Times, the Daily Express, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail and of the New York Times and New York Herald-Tribune. "All these organisations have thoir representatives accredited and posted to the various strategic points, and they will operate on sea, in tho air and on land. They combine to provido an extraordinarily complete cover for Australian and New Zealand newspapers." The cost of operating the A.A.P. was a high figure for countries with combined populations of 8,500,000, but Australian and New Zealand newspaper readers receive a world news service that would compare favourably with that of any country in tho world.
