VICE-PRESIDENT
Mr. D. Gow then proposed Mr. B. Wylie as vice-president and in doing so remarked that there was little need for him to speak on the qualities of Mr. Wylie, who had already filled high positions in the Cub with great efficiency. Mr. J. S. McIntosh second the nomination and Mr. Wylie was unanimously elected.

"Official World Figures.
The official id-figures-for-1939- were not yet available, but the pre sent indications were even more unfavourable so far as the world's telephones were concerned. It ap- peared that the United States had lost a further 1,500,000 telephones up to September last, and there was little prospect that Europë had made any such additions as would

In these circumstances the net in- crease of 68,300 telephones in 1932 in Great Britain could, he thought, be regarded, even by the most cri tical, as not unsatisfactory, though there was still much leeway to make up.
At the end of the year Great Britain had secured a total of 2,133,000 exchange telephones. Dur- ing the year the number of ex- changes had increased by 206 to 6,270 and the number of call offices
by 9,200 to some 38,850. There had been considerable development in our automatic system. We had opened 67 new automatic exchangea, and in addition, there were 318
