WIRELESS SYSTEMS.
A GERMAN MOVE.
TRYTNG TO BUY OUT MARCONI.
LONDON, July 25.
The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Express" states that a powerful German syndicate is endeavouring to acquire a controlling interest in the Marconi Company and dependent companies. The recent convention compelled a Marconi station to accept a message from German and other rival systems, thus depriving a British company of predominance.
The German syndicate, understanding that the Marconi Company had given evidence of chagrin at the British Governments agreeing to the Convention, has chosen this opportunity to bid for the Marconi properties. Mr. Sydney Buxton (PostmasterGeneral), replying to Mr. Henniker Heaton, expressed the opinion that the weight of evidence was overwhelmingly in favour of ratifying the Radio-tele-graphic Convention, which inter alia affirmed the principle of interchange of ethergrams without distinction of system.
