OPEN RADIO FIELD IN BELGIUM
Radio telephony is still an unknown science in Belgium. Only recently King Albert listened to his first aerial conversation — a message from the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The Belgians have not yet fallen under the spell that has spread through the United States during the last few months. There is not a single radio telephone broadcasting station in Belgium, the few more scientific persons who have built receiving equipment depending entirely upon Paris and Scheveiningen in Holland for their entertainment. Such is the unique picture of aerial communication conditions in the little kingdom as pictured by L. Van Dyck, chief of the production branch of the Bell Telephone Manufacturing Company at Antwerp, who has come to the United States to study American methods.
" Belgium," Mr. Van Dyck declares, " has acquired the habit of looking to the United States for all suggestions in electrical matters. Once the radio telephone has proved its feasibility as a commercial enterprise here, Belgium undoubtedly will take steps to adopt it."
Reduced government budgets are having a very serious effect upon the improvement of telephone service in Europe, Mr. Van Dyck explained. One of the first appropriations abandoned by France when expenses were sliced recently was that authorizing the construction of more lines. As a result applications for telephone service continue to pile up without any prospect of the shortage being relieved.
Belgium is more than three months late in filling telephone subscriptions. So much material of German manufacture was used in patching up the Belgium system after the war that the government is having all it can do to replace the substitutes with standard equipment.
