| NEW STATE OWNED CABLE
TO CANADA IS PROPOSED

Imperial Conference Favors Naturalization of Atlantic Cables in
Order to Cheapen Rates and Establishment of Chain of
British-Owned Wireless Stations Throughout
the Empire---Resolution Passed

cable rates throughout the Em-
pire. In addition to this he was
in favor of the establishment of
a chain of British-owned wireless
stations and moved a resolution
to this effect.

New Cable Across Atlantic

Both resolutions passed after
some discussion, but the subject
was again brought on a question
as to whai force could be brought
to bear upon the owners of Atlantic
cables to induce them to make the
needed reduction in rates.. This
ended with the passage of a
further motion on the subject
which was made by the Postnaster-
General of Great Britain. It
was to the effect that if owners
of Atlantic cables could not see
their way clear to reduce the rates
from time to time as the growth
and popularity of cabling increased,
the several Dominion governments
would consider the practicability
of laying a new state-owned cable
across the Atlantic. It is believed
this resolution will aid in bringing
the Atlantic cabie owners to terms.

(Canadian Press Despatch)

London, June 16.—The nation-
alization of the Atlantic cable and
the complete governmental con-
trol of all cables embraced in
the All Red Route was the most
important topic of discussion at
the Imperial Conference this mora-
ing. It was introduced and strong-
ly advocated by Premier Fisher
of Australia, who stated that in
order to cheapen cable rates and
render more effective the com-
munication between Great Britain,
Canada, Australia and New Zea-
land the nationalization of the
Atlantic cable was a_ necessity.
By this action the Imperial Gov-
ernment would be in complete
control of all the cables and
telegraph lines comprised in the
proposed All Red route.

State-owned Wireless Also

Premier Ward of New Zealand
also advocated this nationalization
project, arguing in favor of a
state-owned cab!e between England
and Canada and the reduction of
