CABLF RATES.
SIR JOSEPH WARD’S VIEWS. A PRESSING QUESTION. (Jnitkd Piiksh Association-- Copyright LONDON* August 5. Sir Joseph Ward, interviewed, favored a reduction of cable charges by stages as giving confidence to administrators to gradually lower charges. Personally he considered reduction one of the most pressing questions of the day. He disliked anything that might be unfair to the cable owners, but it was most regrettable that people of the great, growing overseas dominions should be kept in a position of isolation through inability to use cables which were' so much unoccupied. He strongly favored Statc-owncu cables between the Motherland and her dominions. Ho was hopeful that the existing conditions would not last much longer. He also -entirely favored an AllRed or all British steam service. He recognised that many difficulties existed, and added: “But the more you reduco distances and give the people the opportunity of meeting the greater becomes the tendency to do business mutually.”
