26 OTTAWA MEETING FAILS T0 AGREE American Delegates to Radio Conference Returning With- out Reaching Settlement. BY MARTIN CODEL. While American delegates to the Ra- dio Conference at Ottawa are return- ing without having reached either a| tentative or a final agreement on the division of the continental short waves, the case for the Radio Corporation of America is being carried to Congress. Vigorous denials of charges of “trust” and “monopoly” are being entered be- fore the House committee on radio this week by Col. Manton Davis, vice presi- dent and general attorney of the R C. . A Apparently denied the right to en- gage in domestic radio-telegraphy, pending the possible allotment of more exclusive continental channels to the United States, the R. C. A. is chargmg and 1 1 1 that “persistent opaganda” “political pressure™ ve led the Fed- eral Radio Commission to conclude Adventures of an that an implicit congressional man- American Truck.” 00—Thirty Club. date exists to favor all others above R. C. A Col. Davis made such an assertion when he began testifying Saturday by reading & hensive statement in whicH he defended the radio corpora- tion and its affiliated companies as the “creators of radio.” He told the com- tertainers. mittee the oft repcated story of the! 7:55—“Washington's Community formation of the R.

S.). tain to the United States certain basic American patents, which the British Marconi people were anxious to obtain. Radie Growth Described. ‘The mushroom and altogether un- expected growth of program radio was described, and the nents of the R. C. A. in the manufacturing phase of the industry were characterized as “a body of men seeking to use the inven- tions of others without license.” Pri- marily concerned at this time with ex- tending its world-wide wireless system, the only one this country has otheri than the Navy's, Col. Davis maintained that “the propagandists do not even claim to represent any one connected with radio communication or radio broadcasting.” It was apparent that, while discuss- ing the manufacturing end of radio, Col. Davis was hitting back at the radio protective associations, groups of independent manufacturers ~organized e in Congress and it the courts 1 1 1 the R. C. A. spoke of munications and the alleged favoritism shown by the Federal Radio Commis- sion, it was plain that he referred to the Universal Wireless Communications “Who is behind this propaganda?” Col. Davis asked. “Their representatives will not tell you gentlemen plainly. They are a body of men seeking to use the inventions of others without li- cense. They denounce and accuse in order to build a smoke screen behind which to hide. And they seek the aid of the Government to help them. “Seeking the aid of the law, they are not willing to rely for protection upon the law, but ask that their identities may remain undisclosed lest they be brought to the bar of justice, where, though they do a business of one hun- dred million dollars a year, they never- theless may not be able to protect them- selves.” Message Service Barred. In communications, Col.” Dafis ;as- serted that the R. C. A. has since the war carried on competition with cables and that its system now connect the United States with 30 foreign countries. This service has given the United States thée supremacy in international radio, he said. Having been unable to reach an agreement for inland “pick- ups” of overseas radio- messages with the Western Union and Postal, both of which operates cables, the R. C. A. is now seeking short waves to establish a domestic radio system of its own for this purpose and for competition with the wire services, “The Federal Radio Commission,” sald Col. Davis, “has declared its in- tention to award to another organiza- tion all the channels now at its disposal for domestic service and has indicated that the R. C. A. may be awarded no channels permitting it to enter the field of domestic telegraphy. “It is no answer to assert that the R. C. A. applications have not actually been denied. The R. C. A. was an ap- plicant with the others and presented its application at the same time as did the others. All the facilities now avail- able_have been awarded, but none to the R. C. A. It is no answer to assert that as a result of negotiations with Canada other channels may perhaps be available.” Wemonstrated Ability. “The organization in whose interest the Federal Radio Commission has in- dicated an intention to establish a monopoly in domestic radio service,” he said, “has yet to demonstrate through service its ability technically and other- wise actually to serve. We do not assert that it lacks that ability, but we do assert that no informed person in the world doubts the ability of the R. C. A. to carry on a radio telegraphic service as well as any person or organization in the world and that this has been dem- onstrated not by experiments but by world-wide servicé successfully carrigd on for years. “The fact that practically every or- ganization manufacturing radio de- Vices in America is operating under li- censes and utilizing the results obtained in the laboratories of the R. C. A. group is conclusive proof that what others in America can do in radio R. C. A. can equal or surpass” said Col. Davis in conclusion. “The R. C. A. was not asked to compete in laboratory experiments, was not informed that such would be conducted, was not asked to observe or criticize experiments or to demonstrate in the laboratory or | even in the field circuits what it could | 1 1 1 1 actually do with respect to radio com- |}, munication. .
