Suggested Changes Sought.

All of the countries concerned nave
been asked to suggest changes In the
1912 regulations, and the Washington
Government, as sponsor or the con-
ference, has mapped out proposals 1or
limiting the effect of any international
convention strictly to questions or gov
ernmental policy in exercising control
by legislation or otherwise OF radio
companies. All questions OF practical
opera ton would be left to the COM
panies themselves to be made Neffec-
tive by contractual relations between
the companies themselves. The Amerl-
can point Of view, which represents
also the views of a minority group of
nations which have similar national
policy, grows oalt of the fact that
radio establishments Of the United
States are privately owned and oper-
ated.
The opposite view characterizes
suggestions by those countries where
all telegraphic communication is a
government function, and this in
cludes nearly all European powers.
It will be- the major task of the con-
ference to bring these opposing poll
cieS into harmony so that there can
be effective control of the interna-
tional use of radio which will foster
the widest and unhampered use Of the
air for international communication.
!AllOcatiOn OF Wave Lengths.
An essential part Of the work of
the conference will have to do with
ALLEGATION of radio wave lengths in
an effort to remove not only the actual
interference with communicat tions due
TO multiple use Of particular wave
lengths, but also TO prevent interna'
tional friction due to interference
