Out ot the deliberations now in prog- ress before the Federal Radio Com. fon comes a promise of lower rates for a certain amount of trunk line tele- the United States, if sanction is given the establishment of several more inter- | city radio telegraph projects. One such | project linking cities in every State Is already under way, and three other ap- | plicants for wave lengths for similar services are now being heard. It is inconceivable that all the radio telegraph networks, if authorized, can appreciably dent the $150,000.000 worth of telegraph business done annually by the wire companies. This is due to the physical limitations of the radio spec- | trum. Even today there are few, if any, | continental wave lengths left for the purposes proposed. An effort is being made to encroach upon the oceanic bands to secure more. Much remains to be done to overcame the variability of the short waves to | make them more thoroughly reliable. Sharper tuning, or the utilization of narrower channels for code transmis- sion, and multiplexing simultaneous messages to make possible-the manifold use of single channels may conceivably increase the amount of traffic that ra- dio later can bear. Right now, how ever, there are multitudinous tions to the ambitious uses proposed for the ether. Nevertheless, the public service tele- graph business the proposed network would take away from the Western Union, whose land line revenues aggre once RS TSSR IR ISR IAIRSAFNTTG T Model 72 Mighty Monarch of the Air.

Since the, world-wide American radio system was formed, rates have been reduced to practically every coun- try with which the United States is In communication. The word rate to England. for ex- ample, has been cut from 25 to 20 cents; to France, from 25 to 20 cents: to Germany, from 36 to 25 cents: with Brazil, from 50 to 42 cents; with the Philippines, from 62 to 60 cents; with | | Japan, from $1.21 to 72 cents. These cuts may partially be due also to in- creased traffic with such countries due to our increased foreign commerce and the consequent reduction in overhead expenses of the communications com- | panies. At any rate. it is estimated they have already saved the American public and its foreign correspondents more than $60.000.000. tem already building irel Communica- inental chan- |nels by the commission for a system covering 110 cities.

Some of the channels sought would be extensions of those al- ready being used for transoceanic serv- ice, especially during the daytime.
