EMPIRE
COMMUNICATIONS.
COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER FULL DEVELOPMENT.
AUSTRALIAN PREMIER'S PREDICTION,
LONDON, July 7.
The Imperial Conference discussed inter Empire communications and decided to establish a committee with Mr. Winston Churchill as chairman and representatives of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India ́to consider in consultation with the Board of Trade, the Air Ministry, and the Post Office the question of practical means available at present for the development of imperial communications by sea, air, cable, and wireless and report as soon as possible. The speeches were very long. Mr. Hughes urged the need of the various parts of the Empire for having constant speedy inter-communication with each other also with Britain. He predicted that the day was not far distant ben the Dominions premiers would be in constant wireless communication. He saw no alternative if the real par ticipation of the Dominions in empire affairs were be to attained.
NEWS PROPAGANDA IN FAR EAST.
Mr. Hughes urged that greater attention be paid to imperial pabfc opinion. It would become a dominant factor with regard to the Empire's future, yet the columns of the British Press pitiably travestied the truth as regards conditions obtaining in all the Dominions. He admitted that the cause was due to the fact that every word cabled cost from 7.60. to 9a. He outlined the wireless situation throughout the Empire and laid stress on the need for complete modernisation of the system. He pointed out how America had flooded the world, especially the Far East, with pre- paganda news services.
Mr. Meighen, Premier of Canada, concurring as regards the paucity of new, drew attention to the fact that it was not that news was not signalled bot because the newspapers generally did not print Dominions cables. The press was in the position of simply selling what goods were in chief demand. Mr. Smartt, South Africa, who concurred, said that it was very difficult
to suggest a remedy but very important to find one.
