IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR TRADE Wider Use of Wireless Predicted?New Regulations Wanted Wireless telegraphy, now an indispensible factor to American commerce and shipping is destined for a far wider commercial utility, is the prediction of the National Bank of Commerce, in a survey of wireless and its relation to trade, says the New Yo?*k Times. Development of radio science has already provided the nucleus of a comprehensive system of world communication anc has largely eliminated necessity foi reliance upon cables dominated bj foreign governments.

"The conclusion of hostilities j found the United States a credltoi : nation compelled io finance dircctly much of its enormously cxpaned ex- i port trade and possessed of a merchant marinerivaling in carrying-1 capacity that of Great Britain. | American commerce lacked only its; own system of international commun \ ications, for as a result of tho sei- j ruvc of the fo*v>er German Atlantic | cables, Great Britian more than ever: dominated the world's cable system. "Whil^ it is not seriously contended that radio telegraphy will replace the telegraph and cable systems, it supplies a most valuable supplement to present cable facilities as well as, an extension of direct telegraphic! communication with centers which j cannot be reached by cable either be-1 cause of geographical position or because of the present prohibitive cost of new cable lines. "In addition to the progress made since the beginning of the war in direct international communication by means of radio teleghapy, wireless has begun to play a most important secondary part in the world's shipping industry. At any instant of the day or night any ship equipped with wireless can be reached and instructions issued to the captain regulating the speed, ordering diversion from one port to another or iriving any necessary information "At the same time the master of a vessel is not only provided with a means of communication which is almost certain to bring him speedy aid , in case of accident, but he can on approaching port advise the owner? ||as to tho hour of arrival, tne amount , of fuel and stores which he will reI quire and any special details which r might affect the preparations foi r docking the vessel or for discharging cargo. By means of this service th( i turnaround time of cargo steamer: e? can be materially reduced and a ma - terial economy in the cost of opera e tion effected. I Saving is Apparent. "When it is recalled that tho oper n ating expense of even a moderate - sized cargo steamer under presen r conditions are in excess of $100 pe v day. the importance of the total ag !- gregate saving effected by means o a radio communication becomes appar it ent. Messages ordering diversion e one reason or another are sent to a i average of ten vessels daily fror tho port of New York alone. r "The development of radio com il munication of all types during th s. past ten years clearly indicates ttia it j tho future holds large possibility lejfor the further rapid extension o h t the system and would seem to mak 9 THE HORRY COM ********* v \ at LOR J, as before.
