WIRELESS BENEFITS
SHOULD BE PASSED OX TO PUBLIC. (N.Z. and Aust. Press Assn, and Sun.) (Received Eeb. 12, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 11. The Commoner, Mr Walter Baker, who, on January 21 will ask the Postmaster-General to disclose, for the first time, the actual terms of the license under which the Marconi Company operates, in the course of an interview with the Daily Herald, states: “I understand the cable companies and private wireless interests alike are striving to wrest the operation of the Empire wireless services from the Government. Their immediate goal is fusion of all interests in cable wireless in the Empire’s telegraphic communications. This is obviously contrary to public interest, which would be best served by the continuance of direct governmental control of the beam, Imperial cable and kindred services. It is essential that the natural advantages of wireless should be passed on completely in the sfiape of lower rates. The interests of the cables must not prevent this or impede the fuller development of wireless. Mr Baker, who was formerly employed in the telegraphic service, added that the experience of the union post office woi leers confirmed this viewpoint, which represents the union policy.
