broadcasting stations be founded
and endowed with the same object
in view? A lecturer at a big
broadcasting station in New York,
say, might be able eventually 10
reach 10000 or 400 900 people in an
evening. whereas on a lecture plat
form II might take him several
months to reach the same number
Of people.
To 60 still further, why should
not municipalities, or even Gov
ernments, endow broadcasting sta
tions?
Many cities spend money on free
courses OF lectures and on city or
chestras which do not reach more
than a few hundreds at a time,
whereas from a broadcasting cen
ter they might reach tens of thou
sands.
Why, therefore. should we not
some day see a millionaire endow-
ing a broadcasting chair of Eng.
lish literature or Of geography at a
municipal or government
broadcasting station?
I firmly believe that there are
many probabilities in favor OF the
development OF broadcasting In
some OF the directions I have indi-
Gated.

will be broadcasted in the future.

about the encroachment on Chinese

European interests had been told:
Hands off the national iron ore

Respecting this decision, we had
told our people that concessions
for iron ore could not be obtained.
We could not in justice to them
now consent to a change Of policy,
without rejecting our interests.
Japan had already one-half Of
China's iron ore deposits. Was
she to get the rest? Also, were
Chinese armaments to be stand

There are today probably 600

General Tuan said he had long
been urged to buy a "iirntted
amount" of war material from
Japan. The japanese minister
chimed in with the statement that,
inasmuch as the United States re-
fused to sell steel to Japan-under
the war restriction--the time was
come for Japan to control China's
ore deposits.
Japan Is to sell China arms.
Why may she not have the raw
materials for them?" he asked.
The disproportion involved in
this demand served to amuse the
Chinese. The deposits on which
Japan's eyes were fixed amounted
