Britain'e immense scheme for Melbourne in through Manchester linking all its Dominione by radio) and London. may be completed within 18 months.
For several years, leaders in British foreign affairs have been contemplating just such a system of intercommunication among the dominions and possessions of Great Britain. The ships of the greatest maritime country in the world weren't enough to tie the interests of all these varying pationalities into one. So they are resorting to radio,
And radio promises to accom plish what they desire,,
That is, an Empire "upon which the sun never sets" with many varying interests and idesis com- bited under one major influence öf a unted nation.
Besiler, more lines of com- munication are planned. Such, for instance, as a direct line from London to Peking and Tokyo. At present, London roaches these oriental cities by relay lug through Vancouver. The new line would "shorten the dis- tance by more than one half and would save considerable time.
In India, lines are contemplat ed to join Madras to the im- portant inner centres. Similar plans are being worked out for Africa and Australia..
It is the greatest plan for world- intercommunication ever contem- plated.
