MARCONI COMPANY OPERATIONS
TERMS OF LICENSE REQUEST FOR DISCLOSURE. LONDON, February 11. Mr Walter Baker, M.P.. who on February 21 will ask the PostmasterGeneral to disclose for the first time the actual terms of the license under which the Marconi Company operates, in the course of an interview with the ‘Daily Herald’ states: “I understand tlxat the cable companies and _ private wireless interests alike are striving to wre.st the operation of the Empire wireless’ services from the Government Their immediate goal is fusion of all interests—cable and wireless—in Empire telegraphic communication. _ This is obviously contrary to the public interest, which would be best served by a continuance of direct Governmental control of beam, Imperial cable, and kindred services. It is essential that the natural advantages of wireless should be passed on completely in the shape of lower rates, and the interests of cables must not prevent this or impede fuller development of wireless. ’ Mr Baker, who was formerly employed in the telegraphic service, added that the experience of the Union of Post Office Workers confirmed this viewpoint, which represents the union policy.—A. and N.Z. and ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
