CHINA'S TELEGRAPH
COMMUNICATIONS:--
OPEN LETTER TO THE PREMIER AND THE MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONS.
Gerstlemen:-The new régime laa brought substantial relief in the matter of domestic telegraph-rates, both Chinese and foreign, together with the notable universal domestic press-rate of six cents a word for forsign messages, and three cents for Chinese messages. These im provements are remarkable, and the Gov- ernment, particularly the Minister of Communications, deserves every credit for having made such prompt reforms at a time when so many disagreeable probleius monopolize attention.
Whilst these internal reforms are the subject of general approbation, when we come to the hardly less important ques- tion of telegraph rates between China and the rest of the world, there is general re- gret that no relief is in any way foreshadowed. The open-rates between China and all foreign stations are uni- formly so heavy that, compared with the

Now, China, like many other countries, is boand by a series of agreements giving concessions which presumably cannot be modified without compensation. matters now stand there would appear be only one means of modifying a state of affairs which effectively isolates China from close daily contact with the rest of the world excluding the possibility of u volantary reduction of the rates on the part of the concessionaires. This is the adoption on the part of China as a busi- ness undertaking of the Marconi wireless system, which I venture to bring to the attention of the Government,
The development of wireless telegraphy all over the world, owing to great and continual improvements in the transuiit ting and receiving apparatus, has lately been very marked particularly in such & region as Canada, where subsidiary Marconi companies are just now very much to the fore, the parent Marconi companies of both England and America having virtually amalgamated and decid ed on a great forward campaign, which is to make wirelessing a business proposi-
