§ Mr. CLOUGHasked the Postmaster-General the policy of his Department with respect to wireless telephony?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHAlthough wireless telephony has of late made great progress, it must still be regarded as in the experimental stage, even for those purposes (such as communication between ships and the shore or between aircraft and the ground) for which it may appear to be particularly well adapted. I am giving every possible facility for its further development; but its progress must be coordinated with that of wireless telegraphy. The questions of mutual interference between stations, and of electrical interchange between wireless and wire telephone circuits, are of great importance in relation to this means of communication; and to both these points my technical advisers are paying special attention.
