Extract from the letter of the Chairman of the Hongkong General
Chamber of Commerce, dated 25th. April, 1911.
"I would take this opportunity of directing the attention of the Government to the great disadvantages under which Shipping Companies whose vessels are equipped suffer through only being permitted to use their own wireless apparatus during the limited time of four hours, i.e. 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
"It is well known that messages can be despatched over longer distances at night than by day, but this advantage is altogether lost to the Merchant Shipping by the above regula- -tion.
"It cannot be really necessary in the interests
of His Majesty's Services that only service messages can be telegraphed during 20 out of the 24 hours.
"If a commercial wireless station is erected here, as we maintain is now imperative in the interests of the Colony, these messages must be received and despatched at all hours.
"What the regulations are which control the send- -ing of commercial messages on the coast of Great Britain so as not to clash with service messages, I am unable to state, but this information is no doubt in possession of the Hongkong Government, or the Commander-in-Chief of His Majesty's Squadron in the Far East.
"It appears, however, that some such system might be adopted as that in use on the Pacific Coast of the United States of America where service messages are despatched during the first half of each hour (by day or by night) while the second half of the hour is reserved for commercial messages.
