CABLE AND WIRELESS CONFERENCE
IMPERIAL IMPORTANCE (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (A.P.A. and “Sun ) (Received 10th January, 8.1)0 a.m.) LONDON, 14th Jan. In view of its Imperial importance Cabinet lias taken over the Cable Conference, completely dissociating the Post Office, which is now placed in the same category as the Pacific, Eastern, and Marconi companies;''each of which is submitting to. the conference on elaborated statements of its policy, finances, equipment, and service capacities. Cabinet lias nominated Mr, Gilmour as the British representative instead of Sir William Mitchell-Thompson, and suggests that Mr Gilmour be appointed chairman, subject to the approval of the conference because he is dissociated with both cables and wireless. The conference meets on Monday, and while there is apparently a definite move towards some plan of co operation, there is reason to believe that the desirability of maintaining the incentive to improve the services and give the public the best and cheapest- possible, will not be everlooked.
