IMPERIAL WIRELESS.
SOUTH AFRICA'S POLICY.
AUSTRALIAN LEAD FOLLOWED. Times. LONDON, Dee. 15.
Commenting on the position of the Imperial wireless scheme, apropos of the arrival of an engineer of the Marconi Company to erect a station capable of communicating all over the world under contract to the Government, the Capetown correspondent of the Times says that the steps being taken are similar to those of Australia and Canada. Parliament, will be asked to ratify tho contract in January. The original policy of the British Government was wholly inconsistent with these contracts. The South African contract arises from the conviction of tho Government and public that the British Post Office scheme would be inefficient and liable to intolerable delays. South Africa is eager to participate in tho Imperial chain providing it in consistent with the Marconi contract and involves no further disputes or delay regarding the erection of the local station.
