CHEAPER CABLES
AX IMPERIAL SCHEME WANTED. London, January fl. The Hon. R. Lemieux, Canadian Postmaster-General, and representative at the Union celebrations in South Africa, in •an interview, said that his African experiences impressed him with the need for cheapening telegrams within the Empire. He hoped the Imperial Conference would deal with the matter in a concrete form. In Canada much news was colored through American channels because American dispatches were obtained more cheaply. He was afraid a State-owned cable would meet with formidable opposition from vested interests.
