EMPIRE WIRELESS CHAIN.
DELAYS JN_BRITAIN. * SETTLED IBr A MONTH. STATION BEADT IN 18 MONTHS (By Cable.—Press Association Copyright.) (Berelved 12.30 p.m.) LONDON. July 23. Lord Burnham introduced a deputation from the Empire Press Union to Sir L. Worthington Evans, PostmasterGeneral. It was representative of all the Dominions. Members urged the pressing forward of the Imperial wireless service. Sir Lamery said that the question was one of national and Imperial importance. It was imperative to evolve a workable commercial scheme. He denied that there had been unnecessary delays. The points at issue should be settled within a, month, and after that there would be nothing to'prevent the erection of a high-power station which should be operative within twelve to eighteen months. The Government's object in the present negotiations over the licenses was to secure the enterprise with the minimum of Government control. He hoped that the wireless rate would always be lower than cable rates, though there would doubtless be competition.—(A. and K.Z. Cable.)
