TARIFFS AND TALKIES
POSITION IN AUSTRALIA TO BE INVESTIGATED TWO EXPERTS ARRIVE The present business slump in Australia and the raising of tariffs has provided sufficient consternation to the R.C.A. Photophone Inc., of New York, to dispatch two of its experts for the Commonwealth to investigate the position. These are Mr. E. O. Heyl and Mr. A. B. Tyrrell, who were through passengers on the Niagara this morning. Both of these visitors are chiefly* concerned with the talkie pictures and, after their investigations in Australia, of which they did not feel disposed to say a great . deal, they intend to return to New Zealand and make inspections of the various talkie plants which have been installed by thenfirm in the four main centres. When interviewed. Mr. Heyl denied the rumour which had gone about, that a merger was about to take place between the R.C.A. Incorporation and the Western Electric Company, two of the leading systems in the world. Both firms, however, combine their efforts to a certain extent in research work, and this was possibly how the the rumour originated. But generally, both firms were absolutely separate and worked apart.
