asked the Postmaster-General whether he has any official information to the effect that the wireless station Sayville, Long Island, has exchanged signals with the Telefunken station at Nauen, Germany; that communication was direct, and that the test was witnessed by Commanders Bullard and Todd of the United States Navy, who represented the Navy Department; and, if so, what system was used in these messages?

I have received information through the Foreign Office that statements have appeared in the New York Press to the general effect stated in the question, but. I have no official confirmation of the statements themselves. The system used at Sayville is presumably that of the Telefunken Company.

asked the Postmaster-General whether the evidence taken before the Scientific Committee which is at present investigating the different wireless systems will be published?

The Committee have informed me that, after consideration of the statements of representatives of firms who have been invited to give evidence as to the capabilities of their systems of long-distance wireless telegraphy, they have decided to treat the evidence as confidential.
