IN reply to this the premier received n
cablegram from Agent General Gillies
stating that none of the other agents gem
eral mad received instructions to coon
crate with him in urging the constr,Ic
ton of the cable. The South Australian
government alone had taken a stand On
the question and its attitude was de-

objection Is raised that statistics ON the
cable are very incomplete and unsatis
factory. and that cable touching only
British soil is-a somewhat quixotic prono-
sltlon not likely to prove acceptable In
the commercial world.
