THE RADIO CONFERENCE

GRATIFYING RESULTS. INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT. (Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.) WASHINGTON, November 26. Mr Brown, interviewed, said that he was particularly gratified with the result of prolonged negotiations and discussions at the Radio Conference. “ Delegates necessarily were very apprehensive regard mg the outcome of the conference to individual nations if restrictions were imposed which might have been found necessary for conserving general international interests. The problem presented was one of considerable technical complexity and the successful issue of the conference is to be attributed to the earnest desire of all concerned to pay regard to their neighbours’ interests while striving to maintain the position of their own counti-y. The density of radio traffic in different parts of the world varies greatly, and it would have been a matter of no slight difficulty to ensure that a remote country like Australia should not have fettered wireless services, because of the need for prescribing stringent regulations for the control of communications in territory where traffic is congested, but fortunately, owing to the attitude of mutual accommodation displayed, it has been found possible to reach an international understanding which will obviate any handicap on development of wireless services in the Commonwealth.”—A. and N.Z.
