Actually they were thousands of miles apart. talking on the tclephone—perhaps the longest party line hookup since Alex- antler Graham Bell first in- vented the device. Alex, Mike, Bob and Keith all are prime ministers. who e new Trans-Pacific cable linking Britain, Canada. Australia and New Zeaiand was inaugurated Monday night by the Queen the four were given -an opportunity for a free long- distance chat. . ‘THAT YOU. MIKE?’ "Is that you, Mike?" said Sir t Alec Douglas-Home, prime min- ister of Britain in London. ‘'11.’: me. Alec," replied Prime Minister Lester B. Pear- son in Ottawa. Along with Australia's Sir Robert Menzies and Keith Hol- yoake 0 New Zeaiand. they cracked jokes, talked politics, ared the weather and comp praised science. _ The four PMs were talking via 15,000 miles of underwater cable and cross-Canada micro- wave facilities. Their wlsecracking conversa- tion, carried live by CBC tele- vision, marked the inaugura- tion of the telecommunications cable across the Pacific. At one point, . Pearson was asked how his throat was. ‘CUT EVERY DAY’ “Being cut every day." quippcd the Canadian.

She described it as a "prac- tical expresslon of the faith of the Commonwealth in its'own lfuture" and an example of what a partnership of nations can accomplish. Mr. Pearson hailed the new telecommunication system as “another monument to technol- ogy's dramatic mastery of dis- ance." For him, it was supper time —just after p.m. EST.

Dec. 3—for the New Zealand prime minister. and almost lunchtime—after ll la.m. — for Australian Prime iMinlster Menzies. I.MENZlES IMPRESSED 1 Mr. Menzies was so impressed with the idea of talking to his Commonwealth c on f reres by telephone, he suggested the cost of future prime ministerial conferences could be saved by lhoiding them on the phone. i After he hung up, Mr. Pear- son confessed he wasn't so sure about the idea. Canada was in the centre or the Commonwealth hookup.
