PRESS WIRELESS
COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS REQUIREMENTS. (Rec. 11.5 p.m.) Sydney, June 9. Giving evidence before the Wireless Commission, Mr Shakespear, of the New South Wales Country Press Association, referring to the proposal for the Country Press Association to broadcast news in Morse, said that the association was menaced by the question of royalties. They did not know where they stood, and had it not been for this question, the scheme of broadcasting to the country Press would have been already in operation. Mr H. Brown, the secretary to the Post-master-General, said that the time might not be far distant when it would be necessary to link up the whole telephone system of the Commonwealth with some wireless service. He added that telegraphy, telephony, and wireless were so related that it was essential that the Postmaster’s Department should have its own research branch. —A. and N.Z.
