Plea NOW MADE
FOR IMPROVED :
WIRELESS

In spite of the willingness of the CO.
lonial government of Hongkong to
meet the wishes of the commercial
and shipping interests of the colony
in the establishment of adequate
wireless connections with other parts
of the Far East, definite action has
been prevented by various circum-
stances and for. various governmental
reasons and apparently the colony is
no nearer a. realization of its demands
in this line than IL was, four years
ago when an American concern
sought a concession from the colo
NAL government for establishing
service in the colony. The colonial
government has made an appropria-
ton from year to year for the estab-
fishing of a plant and it is now prom
ised that something definite may be
done in the course of the coming
summer In, the meanwhile the col
ony is without wireless service ex-
cept such as is possible from the pres
ence of mail ships and warships in
the harbor from time to time which
may be in position to transmit mes
sages within the limitations and re-
strictions upon such service by local
law -.
In connection with the proposed
Hongkong service considerable local
Importance is attached to the conces.
sion granted by the legislature of the
Philippines in it's recent special ses-
SIGN to the Marconi Wireless Tele-
graph Co. of America for the establish
ing of a wireless plant for long dis
lance service. especially to Hongkong,
Singapore, Shanghai, Japanese ports,
and other points. .*.s
The company's concession runs for
so years and the concern is given the
right to construct plant in the ISL
ands for Iong-distance service, the ser.
vice not to be allowed within the ISL
ands without further authority from
the insular government. The COM
pany pays / per cent of its gross re-
ceipts as a tax on its franchise. II
must begin the construction of this
long-distance plant within two years
and complete it within four years.
The company's station may consist
of two parts, one for receiving and
the other for sending The plant is
subject to presumption by the federal
or territorial governments in case OF
war or instruction. .-.....
