Washington, Dee. 9. —Technical recommendations of the delegates of the five allied and associated powers who have, been in session here at the preliminary international communications conference to be submitted to the general conference of all nations for approval, as made public' here through the state department, show that-dis-position of the former German cables seized by France. Great Britain and Japan in 1914 still remains unsolved. This was one of the principal questions for settlement with which the Conference was charged. Desirability of more cables between North America and the Orient and between America and Australia, and a cable connecting North America and Italy, as well as a proposal for the amalgamation of the telegraph and radio conventions formerly governing international communications were among some of the important recommendations made by the conference.
