character consisting of news messages in English was
started from the Dutch Wireless Station at Kootwijk.
This was stated by Reuters to be a determined attempt
to establish Amsterdam as the chief centre in Europe
for the dissemination of wireless news. In order to
counter this move the Reuters service now in question
was started from Rugby on the 2nd March last. The
service consists of a series of four messages each
weekday containing an aggregate of about 1200 words.
Reuters have notified that the messages are at
present intended for reception either wholly or in
part in India, South Africa, Argentina, Batavia,
Estonia, Greece, Albania and Turkey; and the
Telegraph Administrations in those countries have been
duly advised in accordance with the terms of Article
70.
The British Post Office receives payment from
Reuters for the transmission of the messages but has
no responsibility for their reception. It is for
each Telegraph Administration concerned to decide
whether the messages may be picked up in its country
for use by Reuters’ clients and, if so, on what
terms. *
Information is being sought regarding the arrange
ments made in South Africa for the reception and delivery
of this service and will be forwarded to you when received.
I am to add that with regard to the possible effect
of the service on the revenues of Imperial and International
Conmunications Limited, in reply to an enquiry, the Company
has stated that "although the extension of Reuterian
broadcast services must be considered to affect our own
press services adversely, no evidence is yet forthcoming
that the service referred to has adversely affected us".
I am, etc.

Secretary.
