’PHONE SERVICE
EARLY INAUGURATION (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. If tests upon the Tasman radio telephone prove satisfactory within the next few days it is anticipated that a unique conversation will take place early next week, when the Hon. E. A. Ransom will speak from Wellington to the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, in London. A radio telephone service between London and .Sydney has been in operation for some time, and experiments upon the service between Wellington and Sydney have been in progress for several weeks. The director of the Commonwealth Postal Department. Mr. H. P. Brown, recently had several successful experimental talks with Mr. G. McNamara, secretary of the New Zealand Post and Telegraph Department.
There was a proposal that the Hon. P. A. dc la Perreile should speak to tho Lord Mayor of Sydney when the New Zealand offices were opened there last Monday, but this proved impossible, so that the conversation between Messrs. Ransom and Forbes will be the first official one to take piacq cn the new line of communication.
