"I am sorry to say that on December 11 Isystem of low-priced, easy, and uniform means shall be far away on the seas, since I have been ordered to take a long vayage in the interests of my health. Otherwise I would gladly have sup ported what I understand to be the object of your meeting. The remarkable growth of the Imperial feeling in recent years--and without such a feeling "the Empire will not continue permanently to exist-has arisen in the main from increased knowledge; and this has been al- most entirely due to the immoase improvement"| in the means and instruments of communication. Cheap, fares, cheap postal rates, and a cheap and well-served Pross have all played their part. But in my opinion cheap telegrohnic service will do more than all of them combin- ed. It will keep the omigrant in touch with his home. it will enormously develop mercantile contexions, it will strengthen the feeling that the Colonial has for the Old Coun. try, and conversely, it will keep the Englishman in almost
class touch with what is happening in-Cape Tow or Caloatia, or Melbourne or Quebec, na with Dublin or Glasgow. Moreover, I hold most :
t strongly, that cable communications ought to be alministered, not in the interests of classes or corporations, but of the entire com manity identical in this case with the Empire at large. I have already lived long enough to see many things achieved which, to start with were denounced as visionary or impracticable or inexpedient; and my own belief is that in a quarter of a century's time, and I daremy long before, our present cable connexions and methods will be regarded as hopelessly obsolete and imperfect.

The resolation was carried unanimously. Sir Albert Spicer, M.P., proposed the following resolutionThat this meeting, composed of representatives of commercial and industrial interests, respectfully suggests Majesty's Government the convening of a conference of postal authorities of the States and Dependencies within the Empire for the wider recognition of the policy of State-owned- purpose of concerting measures tending to the wide and State-controlled cables, subject to respect for private rights." Speaking as the representa- tive of the London hamber of Commerce, bo said they recognized that existing private rights would not be disregarded. These should and must be recognized, but they believed that the time had come when, in the trust interests of the whole Empire, cables connecting the various States of the Empire should be owned and controlled by the different Governments and run, not in any private interest, but for the best interests of all.

If a company working under concessions from fursigu Powers assigned its cables to the British Government, one required no special knowledge. of international law to see that the concessiona must instantly lapse and the landling rights forthwith be abrogated, As to lower rates, would Governments be likely to work cables more cheaply than private enterprise did? That was not the usual work undertaken by Govern mente or municipalities. He was sure they were glad to hear Mr. Lemieux, whose charming speeches ought to persuade even a Chancellor of the Exchequer to shurs with Canada the luss involved in a 244. rate to be added to the loss of £60,000 a year on the State-owned Pacific cable, But why should our people be taxed to provide cheap telegraphy for other people?

How was that which he wanted other countries would agree to a foreign to be brought about F Surely it could bo done by the Mother Country and the States in the Imperial girdle recognizing that it was both expedient and politin to provide, consistently with a fair commercial risk, or even some tam. porary loss, an accessible method of intercourse for their peoples. It meant, in short, a policy of State-owned and State-controlled cables (hear, hear), which were also intended to have a strategic value. The idea first took root and matorialized in Canada. The Pacific cable, owned in partnership as an Imperial enterprise, had been working for five aix years, and al thongh still showing a balance on the debit side, the revenue from traffic was a growing one. But who could measure the incidental or enormens advantages which it secures by con- tributing to the breaking down of large solonial subsidies and high tariffs Referring to terminal taxes und rates generally, he remarked that as this was a family gathering they might indulge in some home truths. He observed that out of the 38. & word from here to Australia no less than 6d. was charged as a transit and terminal tae by Canada and Australia togather, 5d. as terminal by Australia, and 40. as transit by Canada; the terminal tar in New Zealand was Mr. Jesso Collings, M.P., moved "That the lil, while Great Britain only charged her usual Prime Minister be asked to receive a doputation rent on private land-lines, and took no terminaliarly next Sossion, composed of influential mon tax.

Now, if we wanted a scheme to succeed, we ought to give it fair chance of showing what it was capable of, and he would ask taptain Collins to lend thom a helping hand in eliminating this serious burden. The other day Sir John Wolfe Barry characterized this competition as very unfair. Why? Was it because it was supported by potential Government subsidies? If so, did he forget that, amongst others, kia company had drawn well over £1,000,000 in umbrentions fram. the Australian and other Governments, and that
an allieu company, the Eastern and Sonth
African, had drawn over £1,300,000. Was it to be wondered at that this private enterprise, enterprise, entrenched and fortified by all these copiona grants, should prove strong rivals to the infant State enterprise and that the Pacific cable should require some little nurturing and fostering in the initial stages of its development and working? In conclusion, he maintained that their proposals were eminently practical, and said that we should begin by linking up the Pacific cable. The boon of cheap and accessible
