The signing of the international radio convention and supplementary regulations commenced, after more than three hours spent by a plenary commission of the conference on the final readings and minor modifications. Seventy-six countries, including colonies and mandatories, aie entering the convention, which is designed to eliminate international interference in radio communications through the agreed allocation of wave lengths between fixed stations, mobile services, broadcasters, amateurs and other types of services. The convention will take effect at the beginning of 1929.

COMPREHENSTVE COMMUNICATION Trie convention is the most comprehensive communication instrument ever adopted. It is accompanied by regulations governing the technical handling of radio practice. They are divided into two parts, one of which is non-obligatory on the United States, because the latter's radio communications are handled by private companies. The conference rejected proposals for combination ol international telegraph and international radio conventions into single documents, but expressed general hopefulness that this niav be accomplished in the near future. Mr Hoover stated that there had not been aj single important difference of opinion among the conferences. and thev had arrived unanimously at the solution of a problem of high technical difficulty. "This is not only proof of the progressive capacity of the world to resolve its international problems, but a tribute to the character and spirit pf all nations.” Count Hamilton of Sweden, dean of the convention, replied appreciatively on behalf of the conference. Important provisions of the new convention are compulsory arbitrntin in radio disputes and the creation of an international technical .»d--vistory committee. The convention will be subject to revision at Madrid in 1932. Meanwhile the" International Bureau will be the general international agenev for radio information. The question of plural voting in radio matters was not settled at the present conference, and not mentioned in the convention, which also avoided discussion on the Cartina report, which will be left to the Madrid congress.—(A. and N.Z.)
