In March 1934, the Post Office issued an official circular stating: “Approval has been given for one common routing indicator Via Imperial to be adopted for Cablegrams (in lieu of the existing separate indicators Via Eastern and via Pacific) as from 1 April 1934. The new message forms printed by the Cable Company will show the route Via Imperialonly. Stocks of the existing Via Eastern and Via Pacific forms will, however, not be exhausted for some time and these forms may, in the meantime, continue to be presented at Post Office counters”.
