CABLE CHARGES.
If the sitting of the Press Conference-■ in London results in any considerables reduction of cable charges the Conference- will have justified itself. The present charges are virtually prohibitive ii* the caso'of individual newspapers. Thsfeis to say no newspaper can afford anything approaching an exclusive cableservice. Newspapers of course- do not want an exclusive service ; but it is perfectly reasonable to believe that if rates?were so far reduced as to make exclusive messages occasionally possible^ newspapers would often be more interesting than they are sometimes at present. It is not always easy to see out what system the news now cabled £g^ selected. Items occasionally wired art^' of no interest at all to Australasia, and ono :e constantly seeing interesting:, news in English papers which is notwired. Fiere again there will be artadvantage in the cheapening of cable rates. It will be poesible to send fuller messages. And it would probably becomo possib'e for the newspap.ers tomake better arrangement for tho collection and editing of news at the otherend of the wire.
