CABLE AND WIRELESS LTD. TO CREATE A CHAIN OF RADIO STATIONS Throughout THE COLONIAL EMPIRE.
The offer to establish the chain of wireless stations was made by Mr. Edward Wilshaw, Chairman of the Company. It has been accepted by the British Government.
The new scheme for Hongkong envisages the construction of high-power radio-telegraphic and radio-telephonic receiving stations,
With these stations, the Colony will be brought into direct communication with all parts of the world.
It will be possible for the ordinary telephone subscriber in Hongkong lo speak by radiophone to 98 per cent. of the 35,000,000 telephone subscribers throughout the world.

Ho did not blame Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, who had a close knowledge of the problem, and a keen sympathy for the races in- volved, but he advocated firstly, restoration of order, and second. ly that the Government should make it understood that the Kal- four Declaration would not be withdrawn.
Viscount Samuel pointed out that this was the first debate on Palestine in the House of Lords since July, 1987. The ro commendation for partition was bad, and all partition proposals should be discredited at the ou sot.
