one who comes along to lay a cable. 1t
is the one thing this country should
work for, cable TO connect the outer
world

subsidy would be sufficient.
Minister Peterson said he thought it
would
Noble J M Horner asked several ques-
tons OF the Attorney-General, which
were satisfactorily answered.
Noble Widemann said the law was not
his making, but he warmly supported It.
| am told by good authority that the
authorities in Washington are anxious TO /
bring a cable to these islands, III they can |
get the consent of Congress. The cable |
would end here. / hope shysters will |
not come along and let the Ministers en-
courage them.
Noble Muller explained the changes
made by the Committee on Commerce
Noble J NJ. Horner moved the adop-
ton of the report with the subsidy
stricken out.

| Section the words ''sole and exclusive
right"

| anxious to have cable. He did not see
that they should strike out the sole and
exclusive right. To say that those who
lay the cable shall not have right to
keep others out would not do.

exclusive right would keep others out,

of this country.
