Referring to the second charge, What is going to take place is namely that the defendant did not that the Companies' office for proced to the quarantine anchor handing in and delivery of tele-age Mr. Blake said it followed grama, i.c. the Companies' counter from the first charge. He said that offiuss, at Shanghai will, in fu-

clusive control of the Companies themselves, will be formally hand- ed over to the Bureau at an early date but, at the same time, it has been expressly stipulated and ar- ranged that the working of the offices will be continued as hitherto so that, vis-a-vis the public, there will actually be no change as, far as the tcceptance and delivery ser vice is concerned. The Bureau will bake over the total staffs at pre- appt attached to the acceptance and delivery offices of the thres. Com panies, and at the head of each of the three offices there will be a Chief appointed by the Minis try of Communications and an As- socinte-Chief (Danish, British and American respectively) nominated by the Company concerned, and the Chief and the Associate-Chief of each office will jointly deal with al matters relating to the accept ance and delivery, of telegrame. Furthermore, assurances have been obtained from, and detailed ar- rangements have been made with, the Ministry of Communications ensuring that the acceptance and de- livery of cablegrams will be con- tinued exactly as hitherto and that the present high standard of effi- ciency will be maintained.
A Further Explanation.
It has also been repeatedly re- ported in the local press that the Agreements between the Ministry of Communications and the Cable Companies contain stipulations, re- garding the "recovery" by the Ministry of land cables and over- head wires and that "the lines of the Companies have already been taken over by the Ministry in con- formity with the said stipulations.
