MARCH OF WIRELESS.

IMPORTANT NEW PROPOSALS. By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright. (Received July 2, 11.50 a.m.) LONDON, July 1. ' Before the Dominions' Commission, Mr Godfrey Isaacs said that shortly aew wireless stations would be opened at Carnarvon and Belmar, near New York, enabling the. transmission or receipt of a hundred words minute for the greater part of 24 hours; He hoped that the company would soon establish land wireless between Glacebury and Vancouver, linking up the Pacific eable. There was no reason why Mr HennikerHeaton 's messages should not ultimately be. realised.

FEDERAL POSTMASTER'S VIEW. (Received July 2, 11.50 a.m.) .MELBOURNE, July 2. The Hon. Agar Wynne, Federal Post-master-General, referring to the "Allred cable 'route,"'said, in his opinion, •wireless was going to' supersede the cable system. Very - shortly messages ■would be transmitted from England to Australia, chiefly by this means. At jfresent they were erecting a powerful Btation at Port Darwin, thus enabling direct messages to be sent to Singapore, and continuing by an all-red wireless station. It, was much cheaper to erect And equip ; wireless stations than to Jay a cable across the Atlantic.
