WELLINGTON, May 2.
Regarding a oable massage from Sydney to tho effect that the managing director of Amalgamated Wireloss, Ltd., was hoping to establish a radio telephone service between Australia and New Zealand, the Prime Minister (Sir Joseph Ward) by telephone from ltotorua, stated to-day that the Government in New Zealand had been in communication with tho Australian postal authorities sine© September, and that negotiations were almost completed for tho introduction of a radio telephone service between Wellington and Sydney. Most of the material was already at hand, and the balance waa expected within the next two months.
It was hoped that this telephone service would be of groat assistance to business men in New Zealand, as it would enable any business man connected with tho telephone in Wellington, and perhaps elsewhere, to communicate with any business man in Sydney. It was also hoped that later those who wished to communicate with London could bo switched through at Sydney to tho now telephone service opened the other day.
