§ 57. Colonel MORDENasked the Postmaster-General if the fact that the United States was connected by telephone with this country before the Dominion of Canada is due to the action of the Home or Canadian authorities?
§ Viscount WOLMERSince, as my hon. Friend is no doubt aware, there is no wireless station in Canada capable, at the present stage of technical knowledge of commercial telephonic working with this country, the opening of a service with the United States was necessarily the first step in establishing trans-Atlantic telephone communication.
§ Colonel MORDENIs it not a fact that the first wireless messages to America were sent through Canada?
§ Viscount WOLMERNot the first, wireless telephone messages.
