Mr. Keith Murdoch, London editor.and manager of the United Cable Service (Australasia), on the eve of leaving for Australia to take up the position of editor-in-chief of the Melbourne Herald publications, was entertained at luncheon at Printing House-square by Viscount Northcliffe and the directors of the Tint Northcliffe presided, and pro-
posed the toast of Mr. Murdoch's health. The distinguished company present, he said, had assembled to bid farewell, God- spood, and success to one who "in the short space of fewer than six years had made many

It was cot for him, Mr. Murdoch continued, to offer advice or suggestions, but there were two subjects on which he felt bound to say something. One. was the need of im- proving vastly the supply of news to the outer Dominions They could not be satisfied with their present quantity, or even double that quantity. Distances were bridged and cables frequently lacked work, but the news that could go did not go because the price was prohibitive. They did their best, and met astonishing bills.
