M.P.'S SENSATIONAL SPEECH:

DEALS IN MARCONIS:

Another remarkable attack in connection with the proposed co- ordination of cable and wireless services under an Imperial Com munications Board was made in the House of Commons on August 2nd by Mr. Walter Baker, the Socialist M.P, who on May Sist last attacked the Marconi Com- pany.

That right honourable gentle man said to me, 'There is nothing furprising about that It is going on all the time and you cannot stop it'

Mr. Baker held that the heam service should be kept in the Gov- ernment's hands, and that the cables, if they could not continue, should be bought at scrap rates, not on the terms proposed.

"That fundamental change in methods," added Mr. Baker, is. not particularly observable.".

He referred to an alleged com- plaint to the Stock Exchange Com- mittee some months ago against the Spanish and General Corpora- tion. This complaint, he said, was rejected on technical grounds, and Mr. Baker took that to mean that there were grounds for the com plaint.

“Manipulation"

"I assert," he went on, "that the company has no assets of real value whatever, and that the enor mous rise that has taken place in their shares from about lid, to 38s. 6d. is pure manipulation, in which the directors have participated.” "He declared that the Marconi Company in February disposed of nearly 200,000 shares in the cor- poration to a broker for a con- sideration which was less than £5,000. Either, be observed, "these shares, which are so valu- able to-day, were sold for less than 6d., or else the inland revenue was not being treated quite fairly.”.

Dealing with the opposition raised to a former reduction of Marconi capital from £3,200,000 to £1,600,000, he said that a circular was issued, signed, among others, by Sir Robert Kindersley, urging shareholders to agree to the reduc tion. He added that Sir Robert Kindersley had been supplied in the previous January with a copy of in investigating accountant/a report; and through the Cushion
