POST OFFICE CONTROL. INTER-EMPIRE COMMUNICATION DOMINIONS BEING CONSULTED. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). (Australian Press Association). Received October 30, 10.25 a.m. LONDON, Oct. 29. The announcement that Senatore Marconi is ready to begin wireless telephony to Australia has elicited the disclosure that the matter does not rest in Senatore Marconi’s hands The Post Office has authorised a statement to the effect that interimperial telephony remains its exclusive prerogative, in co-operation with the Dominions, and that the Post Office, acting upon that prerogative, is equipping additional buildings with apparatus for inter-imperial communications with all the 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 Senatore Marconi. It is unoffiially understood that the British legislation authorising the merger will allocate the cables and wireless exclusively to the merger, but will reserve telephony, both national and inter-Impenal, for the exclusive control of the Post Office in co-opera-tion with the Dominions, for which considerable plant has already been mustered.
