 FEELS CERTAIN OF SUCCESS
HOOVER IS AGAINST ANY RADIO MONOPOLY
Says BrOadcasting Control by Single Corporation
 Would Be Bad

Washington. March b. Secretary
 Hoover in q Statclncnt today said it would be most Unfortunate for the people Of this country" if radio broad-
 sting should come within the con e'ol of any single corporation, in
 hNidua' or combination. The depart mcnt ot cOmm'rCc. over which Nr.
 Hoover prcSd"s, has charge of the Issuance Of license for hroadCasting. The secretary emphasized his desire not to express amp opinion on par tcuar issues involving the subject which recently has been brought be- for" the courts and the federal trade commission in litigation in connection with patents on broadcasting devices.
 "l am in receipt Of many reuIcsts for my views as to issues now before the courts bearing on the control of radio broudcasting," he said. While it is impossible for me 10 CXprcss any oplhlon on particular issues that are before the courts or the federal trade comimssion l can state emphatiCalIv that it would be most unfortunate for the people Of this country to whom broadcasting has become an important incident of life ii its control should come into the hands of any single corporation, individual or rombina- tion. IL would bc in principle the same us though the entire press of the country Was so controlled
 The effect would be identical whether this control arose under a patent monopoly or any form of com bination, and from tho standpoint of the peoples interest the question of whether or not the broadcHsting is for profit is immaterial In the lictns- Ing system put in force hy this de- partmcnt the life Of broadcastfng R- ccnScs Is limited to three months so that no vested rights can be obtained either in a wave length or license. l believe it ia saer to say, irrcspcc- tive of claims under patent rights of apparatus, that broadcasting will not cease and neither win our public policy allow it to become monopol- iged
