VALUE OF WIRELESS.

FOR PRESS NEWS. POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENTS. “It Is most gratifying to witness, the enterprising spirit that is being displayed by the neighboring Commonwealth of Australia in the experiments that are in progress for the development of wireless communication between England and the Commonwealth, and it is with especial pleasure I have noticed that our friends, the Australian Press Association, are in the forefront in these experiments.” These remarks were made by Sir George Fenwick, president of the New Zealand section of the Empire Press Union, when moving the adoption of the annual report at the meeting of the section. After referring to the experiments in long-distance press work which were conducted between England and Australia last December, Sir George Fenwick said that these successful experimental messages gave food for thought to newspaper men, especially as they brought into greater prominence the question that had already received attention: Whether wireless was likely to become a powerful competitor of the cables, or, indeed, to supersede them, in the transmission of Press news from abroad. It was too early to pronounce either for or against the use of wireless for Press purposes. It had its recognised disabilities, but in these days of research and triumph in scientific matters, there had been such extraordinary progress that problems which had seemed unsolvable one year had been overcome the next. Perhaps this new power would one day prove so reliable and economical that it would supersede the cable. Meanwhile, the governing body of the United Press Association would, no doubt, keep a close watch on ft* further developments. -
