SUPPLEMENTARY TO CABLES
At the Economic Conference in London on 19th October, the Postmat,ter-General (Sir L. Worthington-Evans) dealing with Imperial wireless communication, said: "I do ndt suppose there is any fundamental difference of opinion between us as to the importance of wireless services. A few enthusiasts anticipate that wireless will supplant communication by cable, but I think its proper function and probable development is rather to supplement than to supplant cable communication. In the present stage of wireless service it certainly does not provide either as accurate, or as reliable, or as swift communication as cables, and it is, moreover, open to interception, but all of us recognise its enormous potentialities. Improvements are developing every year, and the provision of. up-to-date wireless services will increase the existing capacity of our means of Imperial communications, and tend ultimately to the reduction of rates."
