BEAM WIRELESS.
TELEPHONY TO AUSTRALIA. DISPUTE IN ENGLAND. LONDON, Jan. 15. The Daily Express says tho Government is considering the dispute between the Post Office and the Imperial Communications Company, which arose because the Post Office refused to use the company's beam stations for Empne wireless telephony instead of the Government's huge station at Rugby, where much of the plant is American. It is understood that the chief reason for the policy of the Post Office is to experiment at Rugby. It has been shown to be too expensive to use the beam stations when smaller and cheaper aerials achieve better They also pormit of the multiplication of aerials for alternate wave-lengths, by the use of which telephony experiments to Australia give greater hope of minimising fading than has hitherto been achieved by the beam.
