IMPERIAL WIRELESS.

a httmh,iati;ng becobd. LONDON", .Tune 3. The "Daily Telegraph," in a leading article on the "tangle regarding the Empire wireless chain,"' gives a list of successive Postmasters-Genera] who have handled the matter, which the article describes as a record of Imperial humiliation. It asks what account can be given to the Imperial Conference, and recounts the stepe taken by the Dominions themselves. The article proceeds: "The Post-master-General looking into this record cannot fail to be impressed with the opposition which has developed in the Dominions to his department handling the problem. They are wedded to private enterprise, but we recognise that private enterprise must be placed under some measure of restraint. To what extent the Government remains a free agont in view of the action of South Africa, Australia and Canada is debatable, but provision must be made for the Government assuming complete control in the event of war." The "Daily Telegraph" suggests that the British and Dominion Governments should institute a wireless board somewhat resembling a Pacific Cable Board. "If any progress is to be made," the article concludes, "there must be a fresh start, ignoring controversies and jealousies.- The past 12 years have been largely wasted, and the hour has struck for action.— (A. and X.Z. Cable.)
