On obtaining its concession the German Transradio Com- 
pany had already founded the Cia. Transradio Argentina, 
which now, in accordance with contract, was converted into a na- 
tional company, in which the four world firms held equal shares. 
The Cia. Transradio Argentina at the same time changed its 
name to “Transradio International”. In 1923 the station was 
completed, and since this time Argentine has been in con- 
tinuous reciprocal connection with the American, French, 
German and English high power stations. 
In founding the Argentine Company, the four firms decided 
not to confine the adjustment of their mutual relations to 
Argentine only, but to enter on a co-operative scheme for the 
development of communications in the whole of Central and 
South America. This led in 1921, to the formation of a common 
committee, the Commercial Radio International Committee, 
with its headquarters at Paris. Each of the four companies 
nominated two delegates to this committee, who meet twice 
a year under the presidency of the chairman, in one of the 
four capitals, for discussing questions on communication in 
Central and South America. In this way the fruitful work of 
the Committee was extended to other countries in South 
America, and a high power station was erected in Brazil. Not 
only was the capital for this undertaking provided by the four 
companies, but the technical design and construction was 
carried out by them jointly. Each of them undertook a fourth 
part of the total work of manufacture. This is the best proof 
that the hopes, which were centred in the Committee at the 
time of its formation, were fully justified both from the 
economic and technical points of view. The Committee has 
now set itself the further task of including Chili in the world’s 
wireless system. 
The development attained by the four countries, undisturbed 
by patent disputes, has within a short time advanced com- 
munication by means of short waves, to such a state of tech- 
nical improvement, that short wave as well as long wave trans- 
mission is now widely used. Short wave transmission holds 
out great promise for the development of wireless television.
