However, the spread of these languages has never made great progress due to the obstacles of rapid communication. Radio offers the most effective way yet devised to overcome this difficulty. If a synthetic language for international use is agreed upon, its dissemination via the radio would be rapid and widespread. Ultimately, the broadcasting stations in each country would be delegated to broadcast programs in the new international radio language and this privilege would be rotated among the different nations. The possibilities of international understanding through this medium are far from visionary.
Broadcasting can look to to find an analogy in the development of motion pictures.
Broadcasting which attempts to confine itself to fixed patterns may finally reach a similar impasse . Perhaps television will lift programs out of the slough of uniformity in the same way that sound came to the rescue of the cinema. Radio which has been lazily satisfied to grab its talents from other fields of entertainment may thus be compelled to generate an entertainment formula of its own. In view of the vital influence of broadcasting in the life of the nation, it is worth considering the suggestion that the President of the United States be empowered to appoint an additional member of his cabinet to be known as the Secretary of Radio. Today nations have this means of reaching each other almost instantly.
