89. Captain HUDSONasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that Press telegrams can be sent to Buenos Ayres at a cheaper rate via New York than by the direct route; and whether he has made any representations to the Imperial Communications Advisory Committee on this matter?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Viant)It is true that Press telegrams can be sent from this country to Buenos Ayres at a cheaper rate via New York than if sent by the direct route of the Imperial and International Communications Company. My hon. Friend has no responsibility in the matter but he has communicated with the Imperial Communications Advisory Committee who have certain functions in regard to the company's rates.
