Oct, 18.—With the view of making still further use of wireless telegraphy and telephony in the transmission of diplomatic notes between this country and Europe, representatives of the Department of State and of the Ambassadors of the nations allied in the war to-day will begin an inspection of all the largest wireless stations on the Atlantic Coast, Their inspection trip will last at least three days.
'A vision of calling up American Ambassadors and Consuls in Europe daily, originated in the American State Department, and more and more of ithe diplomatic business with Europe has been handled by wireless telegraphy in the last few months.
Although representatives of the State Department and radio engineers have been looking forward hopefully to the day of the establishment of regular wireless telephone service over the seas, there hag been as yet only one example of its use by any high-ranking Government officer.
That was on Ma reh 20, 1919, when Joseph Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, from the Naval Radio station at New Brunswick, NI., talked to President Wilson, who was on the transport George Washington in the harbour of Brest. His voice was wafted 3,200 miles on the my-serious currents of the air.
"How long will it be before President Wilson in the White House can take down a receiver and pass the time of the diplomatic day with Lloyd George or President Millerand in France?" was a_question asked last night of E. J. Nally, President, of the Radio Corporation of America, over the telephone (not wireless) at his home at Ossining.
