Cables Growing More Popular. In spite of the expansion of the Beam Service, it was pointed out that the cable service was becoming more and more popular. Just at preserit, for instance, arrangementa are being made to lay more cables across the Atlantic as the traffic there has fargely increased, al- though wireless services have been operating for several years.

Plans for dacreased operating efficiency have been effected on several table lines, which will en hance communications.

It was asked whether these huge organizations would be undertaken if it were thought likely that the Bean Radio Service would affect the cable system.

It is also pointed out that if wireless has not been able to affect adversely the cable in other parts of the world like England and America, there is little likelihood of it ever doing so in this part of the East, as atmospheric distar banees are more frequent in the Tropics than in temperate climates.
