LONDON, Oct. 29. The announcement that Signor Marooiii is readv to begin wireless l telephony to Australia elicited the disclosure that the matter does not rest in Signor Marconi’s hands. The Post Office has authorised the -statement that inter-imperial telephony remains its exclusive prerogative in co-opera-tion with the Dominions, and that the Post Office, acting upon that prerogative, is equipping additional buildings with apparatus for inter-imperial communications with all Dominions and supplementing the existing service to the whole of North America. Meanwhile Britain is consulting the Governments of India Canada, Australia, New Zealand and. South Africa with a- view to co-operating independently with Signor Marconi. . It is unofficially understood that British legislation, authorising the merger, will allocate cables and wireless exclusively to the merger, but will reserve- telephony, both national and inter-im-perial, for the exclusive control of the Post Office in co-operation with the Dominions, for which considerable plant has already- been, mustered.
