By ROBERT RICE

OTTAWA (OPi—Alec, M.ike, Bob and Keith chatted Monday night like old pals seated in the same room.

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.

l in Ottawa. more than 200 ldignitaries listened to the cere- imonlal opening by the Queen- each monitoring the conversa- tion on an individual telephone.

“Today a new link has been forged between the peoples of the Northern and Southern Hem- ispheres," sa' the Queen. praising the imagination and skill that produced the commu- nications hookup.

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. But for Sir Alec in London. it was bedtime—almost midnight.

Halfway around the world, it was just after breakfast-—about 9 a.m. Tuesday. 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. The

“There was no capitulation: there was no ultimatum." Mr. Pearson said.

“T h e r e was consultation. There were concessions, and there was an agreement.’

Mr. Pearson referred in de- tail to last week's conference discussions on the federal gov- ernment's p r o p o s e d Canada Pension Plan for contributory. portable retirement pensions.

He said the position of the provinces who will be co-operat- ing with the federal plan—-Que- bec will not -— "ls much closer than it was before the confer- ence took place."

As the result of conference discussions, the federal govern- ment would examine its plan the light of provincial sugges- tions and submit further details to the provinces in writing.

The trans - Pacific cable is the second link of an eventual round - the - world Common- wealth cable system. The first link between Britain and Can- ada was openedby the Queen in December. 1961

The Pacific cable joins Can- ada at Port Alberni, B.C. from there, it runs 8,700 miles under water to Australia, passing by Suva in the Fiji Islands and Takapuna in New zeslsnd1n route to Sydney.

The third leg of the Common- wealth project will be the South- east Asia link, from Sydney to terminals in, Singapore and Hong Kong.

_ The Atlantic ca-bie starts in Scotland. reaches Canada at 71-Ismpden on the northeast coast of Newfoundland, crosses over- land to Corner Brook. Nfld., and continues under water across the Gulf of St. Law- srence to Grosses Roches, Que.

The Atlantic and Pacific cables are linked by land-based facilities leased from the Trans- Canada Telephone System be- tween Grosses Roches and Montreal, and the Canadian Na- tion and Canadian Pacific Railways between Montreal and Port Aiberni. ‘
