Sir Joseph Ward: It is controlled to a very large extent by British people. It is on ships of war. Mr. Bell: British? Sir Joseph Ward; I nm not here to answer questions. (Laughter.) I know what lam talking about. Marconi is one ot the directors of the British Telel'uuken system. , "He is not," Mr. Bell interjected. "You aro quite wrong." Sir Joseph AYnrd: It is a British Company—so far as I know . (Laughter.) Later, the Hon. R. H.
