EASTERN MAIL SCHEME

Sir L.

UNDERWRITTEN IN NEW YORK.

There is a deadlock between the Post Office and the Marconi Company regarding the issue of a license to the latter to erect stations in Great Britain, communicating from wire- less stations and crecting in the Dominions. It is explained by Sir Worthington Evans that the dead lock is due to a question of the division of traffic | between the Government and company's stations. An agreement was practically reached on pooling lines in July but the company changed its mind and rejected the arrangement. The Post Office "how proposed a division of the traffic on a regioffal bäŝts. For the example the services in South Africa and 6 per cent.
