lest Americas international communi-
cations be subjected to domination by
the unified systems of foreign countries,

to combine. urging the Senate COM

called golden opportunity to formu-

He supported the principle OF the
Couzens bill, seeing in the creation OF a
communications commission step to-
ward such a policy.
That an equalization of broadcast1ng

not been achieved, in spite of the con-

Latin American countries in which the
I. T. g. T. has its chief cable, radio,
telephone and telegraph operations. At
present the Radio Corporation OF Amer
lea has a virtual monopoly OF the radio
that links this country with nearly all
the leading countries OF the world. SO
that the I. T. & T. looms as potential
competitor in the radio field.

law has been the main purpose OF the
testimony before the Senate committee

vice president. of the Radio Corporation
of America. They have tentative ar
rangement to dispose OF the n. 9. A.
communications systems to the /: T. q
Just what effect the independent
radio plans of the 1. T. g. T. will have
on these negotiations is subject OF
speculation. Sosthenes Behn, president
of the 1. T. & T., told the Senate COM
mittee last Spring he favored the pro-
posed unification with the r. G. A.
On the other hand, the Western
Union, large competing operator OF
transatlantic cables, has never made
known Its views on the necessity OF
unification. although its president, New
comb Carlton, has several times de-
clared he does not fear radio competi-
ton.

of the I. T. & r. into internationa,

Der of stations and the amount Of power
used in each zone.
Some disparity in wave lengths and
hours of operation is also shown, but
the greatest variance Is in the amounts
of power used. Failure to eQualiZe
power. the commissions statement says,
is due to no fault of the Federal Radio
Commission"
1t is said to be due to the fact that
many States have not availed them
selves of the opportunity of obtaining
their proportion Of power, and also to
the fact that many applications for
higher power could not be approved
because of the interference that would
result.
The commission, tacitly at least, ad-
mitS that an equalization Of all facili-
ties is unavoidable If good radio recep-
ton conditions are to be maintained
unless many stations are removed and
power limited to avoid interference. The
great variance in the sizes of zones
aside from their population, has also
proved a stumbling block to territorial
equalization.

RADIO SERVICES
First Link in Proposed Sys-
tenn Connects With New
Station in Peru.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

In the face of its inability under the
existing law to purchase the maritime
and international radio systems of the
Radio Corporation of America, this
country's only worldwide radio system.
the International Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. is extending its own radio
services to foreign lands.
The first link in its proposed inter-
national radio telegraph system was
forged this week by the I. T. & T. with
the Inauguration of circuit between
its high-powered station at Sayville,
Long Island, and radio station it has
newly established in Lima, Peru, in
connection with it subsidiary, the ALL
American Gables. President Hoover
exchanged fluctuations with President
Leguia of Peru when the circuit opened.
While here to attend the hearings
before the Senate committee on inter-
state commerce and to listen to the
testimony of owen D. Young, who urged
the unification Of American cable-radio
facilities in the interest of solidifying
this country's position in international
communications, Frank c. Page, vice
president of the I. T. & T., stated in
formally that his company has no in
tention of abandoning its plans to ex-
tend independent radio circuits from its

A mile or two Of immense con-
