The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Germany ( Gerard )

[Telegram]

Please inquire of the Foreign Office whether the German Government has itself any connection, direct or indirect, with the radio station at Sayville, Long Island, now operated by a corporation known as the Atlantic Communication Company, or with the radio station at Tuckerton, New Jersey, built by the Hoch Frequenz Maschinen Actiengesellschaft für Drahtlose Telegraphic. We feel bound in fairness to the German Government to make these inquiries for our guidance in performing our obligations under the third article of the Hague convention of 1907.
