Shanghai, Jan, 27.
With reference to the Reuter message from Tokyo, published here, stating that the transmission time for wireless between Japan and London would be 30 minutes "compared with the present three to four hours for cables," Reuter is informed by the Grout Northern Telegraph Ca, that the average transmission time between London and Nagasalct by cable is 25 min, and between Kobe and London (which includes transmission over the Japanese line between Kobe and Nagasaki) 66 minutes.
Tt is questioned whether the reported 30 minutes wireless tran mission time includes transmission between the point of origin in Japan and the point of despatch in Japan,—Reuter.
