UNDER BRITISH CONTROL
MARINE COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, December 14. An extraordinary general meeting in London of the Marconi international Marine Communications Company made alterations in its articles of association, providing that at no time should more than 25 per cent, of the issued shares of the company be in the hands or under the control of persons not of British nationality. The amended articles also provide that no person other than a British subject should be qualified to hold office as a director of the company, provided always that this prohibition should not apply to the present directors. Senator Marconi, who presided, said that it would be unfortunate _if the impression got abroad that their company was not now and had not always been under British control. Mr Kelleway, tho managing director, said that the board had not been inspired by any academic opposition to tho employment of foreign capital. They would always bo glad to see foreigners interesting themselves in the fortunes of tho company.
