ments for sending out the speech by

it is said that his majesty himself
had no objections. But the cabinet
ruled that as the address actually
would be a political declaration by a
political party and as the govern
nent which controls all radio activi-
ties in this country had already for
hidden the use of the radio tclc-

would not be desirable to establish

Shipping Boards Record.
Shipping Board vessels established
new ong-diStance radio record in
both the Atlantic and Pacific during
the past year, according to recent
statement of the board. Successful
communication was maintained be-
tween Bremerhaven, Germany. and
Bar EIarbor, Me; between shipping
board vessels off the coast of China
and San Francisco. The transmits
sion and reception of messages over
such long distances have proven very
valuable in many ways, especially
because of the economy effected by
eliminating cable tolls and the ex-
peditious handling of communica-
tionS, the statement points out.
The maximum distance for recep-
and transmission, 1000 miles. While
on a cruise around the world, the
radio operator on board the S. 5.
East Wind. kept in almost daily con-
tact with MSS, the Navy's high-power
station at Annapolis, until almost
midway across the Indian ocean.
However, as the ship approached this
station from the west the signals
faded out completely. until the ship
was in the Pacific ocean. While in
the Indian ocean stations NPM, Homo
lulu; NPL, San Diego, and MR..
