This station, which is a 250-watt stan dard telegraph - telephone instrument, manufactured by Amalgamated Wireless, will be used to establish daily communi cation with Ocean Island, and through Ocean Island to Rabaul, so linking up with Australia. The Butaritari station will also communicate direct with ships at sea and generally will afford improved facilities for traders, planters and others who maintain touch with the outer world.
