proposed reduction, the situation so far as the public is
concerned would be exactly the same, namely, a parity of
rates via cable and radio. At present our radio service
has the prestige of having offered the public reduced rates
and when the opposition reduces their rates, we will have
the added credit of having brought about this reduction.
Furthermore this agitation by the cables, and any future
action which they may take, is of course a direct admission
of the efficiency of the radio circuit.
I have simply acknowledged the communication
of the Cable Companies, stating that I was communicating
with the other administrations concerned. Will you be good
enough to let me have your views on the matter so that when
our two administrations are in agreement thereon I may make
suitable reply?
Yours very truly,
