MELBOURNE. - The recent with
drawal Of the wartime embargo on the
issue of private wireless licenses IN
Australia has led to renewal OF pub
lie interest in empire wireless schemes.
The Amalgamated Wireless Company of
Australia is proposing here a new
scheme for the establishment OF high
power, high speed duplex station near
Sydney. Brisbane or Perth In order to
communicate directly with a correspond
ing station in England. There Is also
to be a medium power feeder station in
each of the other States to pass traffic
to and from the main trunk station.
All these stations will be able to COM
municate with the main trunk system
without affecting simultaneous distant
traffic thereof.
The company offers to handle all
classes OF messages at one-third OF the
present rates, to give the Common
wealth % per cent. of the profits. to
undertake to have the stations working
within two years, to hand over the sta
tions at any time III the event of ma
tlonal danger and to grant the Govern
ment the right of resumption at all
times. The company also offers to
transfer the undertaking to the Gov
ernment free at the end of q term or
years.
