The Genoa Conference.

When the Genoa Conference
evolved from the protoplasm stage
and took definite shape it was name d
and purported to be in fact strictly
an economic conference. AS an in
ternational economic conference
clearly it would not have been COM
plete without American representa-.
tion.
THE NEW YORK HERALD so urged
at the time and would continue so to
urge if the Genoa Conference were
still to be what it started out to be,
an international gathering to dis
cuss economic problems and to de-
velop ways and means for bettering
world economic conditions.
Since the Genoa Conference viii
not be what it was in its inception;
since it is to be more political than
economic; and since America does
not wish to be, and should not be,
mixed in and mixed up with Euro
pean politics, President HARDING

to send an American representation
to Genoa.

Rushing to the Radio.

tt would be impossible to get a
thousand New Workers together for
n discussion OF civil service reform
or the nebular hypothesis, but 10000
persons stormed the convention Of
the amateur radio operators the other
night, 5000 OF them being turned
away for lack OF room.
Wireless is the passion Of the day,
and il is ono to be encouraged. Its
recent advance in popularity is due
to the fact that, through the enter.
prise OF American inventors and
manufacturers the radio has found
its way into the home. When the
family can gather and listen to con.
certs, stories and news, all shot
through the ether waves by the new
magic, the abstract science OF yes
terday becomes the concrete pleasure
OF to-day.
There are few radio stations within
reach OF the moderately priced receiv
ing instruments OF this region and
they have been established only a
short time. Hut the rush to hear
what they have to offer is an indi'
cation OF what the radio service will
soon grow to be. Some stations will
