The company is now discussing with the British Post Office the terras of a license to erect and work stations to communicate with the Continent and European foreign countries, thus establishing a world-wide network of stations. In order to finance a programme of Empire and foreign services 500,000 new £1 shares arc being offered to shareholders at 27s 6d per share. BROADCASTING STATIONS. GREAT UNKING-UP SCHEME.
