5. That similar communication be established by valve stations between England and Canada, subject to decision in conference between the Imperial and Canadian Governments.
6. That the stations be planned by a Wireless Commission of about for members, as herein described, whose functions would probably cease with the com- pletion of the stations, and that the construction of the stations be entrusted to the Engineering Department of the General Post Office and the corresponding Dominion and Indian authorities, according to the plans furnished by the Wireless Commission.
We find :-
1. That an Imperial wireless scheme established in this manner would afford reliable, expeditious and economical communication for commercial, social and press purposes throughout the Empire, and that it would meet essential Imperial strategic requirements.
2. That estimates of revenue and expenditure indicate an initial annual loss, after paying interest at 61 per cent, on capital, and allowing for complete amortiza. tion of buildings and plant within a proper period, of about £100,000, divided as shown between the Imperial Government and the other Governments concerned, but that (a) this loss, which was to be expected, may reasonably be regarded as likely to decrease annually, until after ten years the service will show a profit; (b) the system recommended is probably the most economical that will produce the results required, and at the same time be in accord with present wireless science and future wireless developments; and (c) the small temporary loss is negligible in comparison with the Imperial benefits to be conferred.

Our colleague, Rear-Admiral Field, having been prevented by his new duties as Third Sea Lord from attending some of our meetings, deputed Captain J. K. im Thurn, C.B.E., R.N., Director of Naval Signals, who also signs this Report, to represent him on those occasions.
It has been of great advantage to us to have Brigadier-General Wilson as our Secretary, and we desire to express our high appreciation of his very valuable help.
We have also to thank Lieut.-Colonel Crawley and Mr. F. W. Phillips, our Assistant Secretaries, for their efficient services.
JOHN K. IM THURN.
