LONDON, Dec. 5. - The
change in world telegraphic com
munication to a field into which
nationalism has entered strongly
was remarked upon by Sir Basil
Blackett, chairman Of 1nterna-
tional Communications, Ltd.
He told members of the Royal
Empire Society that when it was
desired to establish wireless tel
egraphy between Britain and
America or Australia and Japan,
the wireless stations here should
be British-owned and those at
other ends owned and operated
by foreign companies or govern
mentS.
Sir Basil said:
"The swing toward local own
ership and control is not with
out its advantages, but If the
world communications Of the
future are to be rapid, efficient
and cheap it will be only by
world cooperation. If any
country tries to work in selfish
isolation, its communications
will not only have to be heav-
lily subsidized by that State but
they will not be as rapid,
cheap or efficient as they ought
to be-"

 States Attitude

Istanbul, July 30 LPl-Relatlons between Turkey and Persia have been disturbed by the Turkish cam paign against the kurds in the re- zion of Mount Ararat because of al legations that Turkish troops crossed the Persian frontier in pursuit Of the Kurds.
 An authoritative Angora source to- day disclosed a new sharp angle in the frontier dispute, stating that Persia had demanded that Turkey pay an indemnity for the alleged penetration of Persion territory by Turkish forces.
 That the Turkish government is disturbed over the highly strained frontier situation was evinced today in an editorial published by the Of f1cial newspaper Milliett saying:
 Turkey is determined to defend even at the price of its blood the revolution and the republic which she created at the same price. No political or individual consideration can deviate us from this supreme determination. Those who commit hostile acts against US had better learn this truth without delay

 Comes Into Bethlehem Case

Youngstown. O.. July 30.-(UP)- Trial of Cyrus s. Eaton's suit to block the billion dollar Youngstown Sheet 6, Tube Bethlehem Steel Cor poration, dragged today as attorneys for Eaton slowly laid technical groundwork for a new assault on .Bethlehem's offer.
 Though the morning proceedings were extremely dull, an attitude of expectancy pervaded the court room. Eaton counsel had intimated they would delve into the salary paid Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem board. which reputedly is more than s1,000,000.
 The lawyers also were slowly opening an avenue which, If suc- cessful, would enable them to go into Bethlehem's books. The books were examined by the accounting firm of Ernst 6; Ernst and auditors of the concern were called to testify
 Eaton and his allies are opposing the merger which was ratified last April, on the ground that it would be poor bargain
 They again assailed proxies cast in favor of the merger, calling tTo bank officials who testified about the authority of their banks to vote proxies on stock held in trust.
 The attorneys then introduced a number of contract between Bethle- hem, Sheet & Tube and Pickands. Mather & Co.,, swelling the list of documentary exhibits to 500.
 No mention of whether Schwab's salary would be gone into had been made an hour before the noon recess.

 This executive committee was created to heal the breach existing for years between the city organiza- ton long headed by the late Colonel I. M.

 The committee of nine is now try ins to reconcile differences over prospective nomination of a senator from the ninth district, for four years represented by Colonel c. F. Hall. Former Judge Jacob Caplan claims a promise in the past that he should have the nomination. There are other candidates and the com- mittee desires to iron out the diff ferences prior to the caucuses.
