Ships would be in future be able to telephone and telegraph either to ships at sea of to the coast without any possibility of interference. One of the great difficulties of the just, particularly in base thorough fares, such as the Channel, had been in obtaining communication, in consequence of the very large number of stations which might be speaking at the same time, thereby causing interference and jamming of the stations endeavouring to speak. That was a thing of the past. ship would now be able to speak without any danger of interference.

With regard to the air, he would not indulge in any prophecy; he would speak upon those things that had been achieved. There was a great a deal said on the sub- jeet of wireless telegraphy and telephony which must not be believed. (Laughter. They all recognised that europlanes and nirships would play a very great part in the future, both in respect of travel and communication.

In 1915, not be done by private enterprise they nine years later, we had only Eddled and fouled with wireless telegraphy, and the only part of the Empire which was in commercial communication with this coun:

A cable required a very big capital outlay. Its cost of maintenaner was very considerable, and its capacity for traffic was limited. The cost of wire. Less telegraph stations was moderate, the cost of maintenance was small, and the capacity for traffic was practically un limited. He gave Sigures with regard to traffic as a result of a reduction in tarifs, and referred to the introduction of the deferred message rate, and said every re duction in tarifs produced a very hig increase in traffic.

When they renched 40,000, a shilling rate could be introduced, and when they reached 80,000 per day a threepenny rate could be introduerd. and give the same meniptans the 2 rate, and that three penny rate would compare with the 38. enble rate of to-day for such a distance.
