asked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been drawn to the automatic system of exchange for telephone service which is used at Munich; and whether he will consider the advisability of introducing such a system into this country?

The automatic telephone exchanges installed at Munich have been inspected by officers of the Post Office, and I hope shortly to be in a position to proceed with a trial installation of the type of equipment in use in that city. Other types have already been tested with satisfactory results.
