Sir Edward Sassoon, M.P., in view of the expiry next March, of the Anglo-French Con vention, has written to the Postmaster-General,
on behalf of the House of Commons Imperial Telegraph Committee, suggesting the reduction of telegraphic rates between this country and France to one penny per word. lle expresses the belief that the expansion of traffic, conse 267.36 yltent upon a dirainution of charge, would more then recoup any preliminary deficiency of revenue. This view was confirmed at an inter- view he had with M. Mougeot, French Minister f Posts and Telegraphs. The Duke of Norfolk, 83.17 in acknowledging the communication, said :- "I shall be happy to consider the statements £3
contained in your letter respecting telegraph charges between England and Fmace, and as soon as practicable a reply will be sent to you."
