65. Parliamentary commission has reported adversely to ratification of radio contract with Marconi. Notwithstanding this action of commission, Government’s bill was read first time yesterday in Parliament.
[Paraphrase.] I am requesting delay for the second reading but apprehend the Government’s determination to award the radio contract to Marconi. [End paraphrase.]
