WIRELESS AND AIR SCHEMES. . (Received This Day at 12.25 p.m.) LONDON, Aug 2 Mr Hughes succeeded to-day in rescuing the wireless and airship schemes from the most adverse possible position from the Australian viewpoint. He is arranging that the Commonwealth Parliament shall decide its special phases iu its own way. When the Conference met, it was (juiekly apparent that a majority favoured the adoption of the exploitation of the Norman scheme. Mr Hughes was the only determined opponent. The facts laid before the delegates showed the capital cost of establishing the scheme was heavy, while in the case of Australia an annual loss in working was estimat’d at £20,000, in addition io Lso,<>oo deficiency on the existing wireless installation. Mr Hughes point- *- ~ut out this loss would be accentuated by the fact that each relay took a toll of the revenue.
