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 world-wide radio syste 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 a circuit between its high-powered station at Sayville, Long Island, and a radio station it has newly established in Lima, Peru, in connection with it ssubsidiary, the All- American Cables. President Hoover exchanged felicitations 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- STAR, WASHINGTON, include connections with various Euro- | pean countries, as well as with the Latin American countries in which the I T. & T. has its chief cable, radio, telephone and telegraph operations. At present the Radio Corporation of Amer- ica 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 a potential competitor in the radio field. The present radio law expressly for- bids the combination of cable and radio facilities if the effect is to lessen com- petition. Repeal of that section of the law has been the main purpose of the testimony before the Senate committee given thus far by Owen D. Young, chairman, and David Sarnoff, executive | vice president. of the Radio Corporation of America. They have a tentative ar- rangement to dispose of the R. C. A. communications systems to the I. T. & | T. if and when the law will permit. Just what effect the independent radio plans of the I. T. & T. will have on these negotiations is a 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. C. A. On the other hand, the Western Union, large competing operator of transatlantic cables, has never made known %ts views on the necessity of unification, although its president, Ne comb Carlton, has several times d clared he does not fear radio competi- tion. That the R. C. A. regards the advent of the I. T. & T. into international radio on its own hook as an intrusion that will weaken the systems of both and strengthen foreign domination over international communications is a clear interpretation that can be made from statements of both Mr. Young and Mr. Sarnoff. B Mr. Sarnoff’s testimony yesterday was Go to Eiseman’s for D.: €., FRIDAY, largely along the line followed by Mr. Young earlier in the hearings, particu- larly in his emphasis of apprehension lest America’s international communi- cations be subjected to domination by the unified systems of foreign countries, notably Great Britain. He urged legis- lation that will enable cables and radio to combine, urging the Senate com- mittee to take advantage of what he called a “golden opportunity” to formu- late a communications policy on the part of the United States Government. He supported the principle of the Couzens bill, seeing in the creation of a communications commission a step to- ward such a policy. ‘That an equalization of broadcasting facilities among zones and States has not been achieved, in spite of the con- gressional mandate placed in the radio law, was admitted by the commission State radio quotas and assignments to the Senate. Although a.formal statement by the commission says that equality has been achieved as far as possible in the allo- cation of wave lengths and hours of operation, a close scrutiny of the chart prepared by the commission discloses in submitting a report on zone and| that wide disparities exist in the num-sible to give each State its just and STANDARD DECEMBER 13,1929, l\)er of stations and the amount of power used in each zone.
