The final splice in the Common wealth Pacific Cable (Compac), is expected to be made on October 8.

At the end of September, only one 700-mile section remained to be laid from the terminal of the Suva- Hawaii section north to Keawaula Beach in Hawaii.

Compac will link New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Hawaii and Canada with stable telephone, telegraph, tele printer, telex, photo-telegraph and broadcast programme facilities.

Mr. Lloyd Hurrell ... in two minds.

Mr. Mick Leahy . . . likely candidate.
