USE OF WIRELESS

MR, FISK'S EVIDENCE

(United Press Association.—Copyright.)

(Eeceived 16th June, noon.)

SYDNEY, This Day. Giving evidence before the Wireless Commission, Mr. Fisk (managing director of Amalgamated Wireless) said that there were too many broadcasting stations in New South Wales. They interfered with each other. He did not advocate a curtailment, but favoured an allocation of wave-lengths, relative power, .and the proper placing of stations. The difficulties in connection with wireless to-day arose through the miscellaneous growth of stations, everybody wanting to do publicity and broadcasting wanted to own their own station. He would like to see an arrangement whereby everybody with a legitimate desire to broadcast for publicity purposes could do so through a broadcasting service, available to all on equal terms. There must bo a limit somewhere, and that should be on the number of stations rather than on the people entitled to broadcast. He suggested that the ownership of stations bo vested in the Federal Parliament.
