Reuter’s send their news cables, at their town
exp ense, to one centre. Their Indian representatives,
working with the Associated Press, then repeat by
inland telegrams to their various subscribers. The
cost of these telegrams is presumably either added to,
or allowed for in, the charges made to subscribers for
the news service.
The Government of India are subscribers, and the
news service is supplied to various officials in India,
apparently including local governments. We do not
know whether the Government of India’s subscription is
for one service delivered say at Delhi, or for several
services telegraphed at Reuter’s expense to different
places. That is, we do not know whether the news is
repeated to various Government officials by Government
telegrams, or whether the subscription covers, the
cost of inland telegrams sent by Reuters to such-
officials ..
Apparently however, .judging from Mr.Simpson’s
minutes, the service to Persia was not an additional
subscriber service, so far as Reuter’s were concerned.
The news telegrams received and paid for by the Govern
ment of India (as subscribers) were apparently repeated
to Persia by Government telegram, via. Karachi. The
cost being divided between British (Foreign Office)
and Indian revenues in the normal manner of Persian
legation charges.
