whereas with wireless transmits
sion we are, in general, con-
cerned only with attenuation.
Beyond these uses nothing much

And here 1t should be pointed out
that then, just as now, II was

training. II would be quite easy to
pick out a melody played by n

In radio this would be equivalent
to picking out a message, say, on q
30o-meter wave, while messages on

Land. viz, $50 to 425 meters.
It will therefore be seen that the

And this is what has just hap

in the United States. And as 1t
is plain that broadcasting is 20

tween individuals (save In very
exceptional cases). the use Of the
radiophone between individuals
must be strictly subordina.ed TO
the wishes of the majority who
will benefit by q good broadcast,
ing service.
The demand for receiving sta.
tons, on the other hand, is un
limited. When the saturation

facturers have sold the public

the future operate broadcastins
stations, apparently will have to
continue keeping up a broadcast

ity without the hope Of being
able to continue selling receivine
stations indefinitely.

II is safe 10 say that II radio.

this very question:

attracted by q lecture on China or

There Is no doubt that in the
near future great progress will be
made in tuning apparatus so that
broadcasting stations using slight.
ly different wave-length may be
built closer together than at pres.

stations may be built to send out

In this connection. however, an
important point should be borne
in mind. In most countries a Ger.

set aside for public broadcasting
purposes. In, England, for exam.
