COOLIDGE TALKS TO PIONEER PASSES
KING OF SPAIN
AT PORTLAND
W ashington, D. C.—Speaking over
a radio and cable circuit 6500 miles
long, P resident Coolidge and King Al­
fonso of Spain inaugurated a telephon­
ic service betw een th eir two countries,
acclaim ing the new m eans of com­
m unication as a g reat factor in the
perpetuation of friendship and peace
betw een them.
Availing him self of his first oppor­
tunity to speak by radio-telephone
w ith Europe, Mr. Coolidge told King
Alfonso th a t with the possibility of
com m unicating with far countries by
word of mouth, ‘‘the danger of any
serious disagreem ent Is im m easurably
lessened.”
P resident Coolidge’s voice required
about one-fifth of a second to reach
the king of Spain, 6500 miles away in
Madrid. The circuit employed Included
wire transm ission from W ashington to
Rocky Point, Long Island, whence Mr.
Coolidge’s rem arks were broadcast
across 3000 miles of ocean to Cupar.
Scotland. From C upar 1154 miles of
