§ 54. Captain CAZALETasked the Postmaster-General when telephonic communication will be established between this country and the Argentine?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHI am not yet in a position to make a definite statement on this subject.
§ Captain CAZALETIs it not the fact that nearly every important country in Europe has had telephonic communication with the Argentine, in some cases for years, and in every case for many months, and that we are the only exception?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHI may say that we have telephonic communication, but not direct telephonic communication. Only two countries in Europe have direct telephonic communication.
