of monopoly through a super pow
cred radio chain
Many suggestions We're brought in.
One individual believed stations
should be limited to l,50O kilowatts,
another specified 5000 kilowatts,
while a third feared 10000 volts was
too high. Some writer's believed that
their sets would be destroyed by
these terrible super-power stations.
or that their tubes would be burned
out. Many fans appear to believe the
impending trust is backed by the
American Telephone and Telegrap phi
Co, others understand it is to be
operated by the Radio Corporation,
while one says the "Neutrodyne
trust" is responsible. A few are
confused as to whether the Western
Electric Co. or the Westinghouse
Electric Manufacturing Co. is at the
bottom of the gigantic effort to seize
the air for advertising and propa-
ganda.

substituting the broadcasters out of
the collected taxes, but it is believed
this is not the popular plan.
Serious difficulty is predicted If the
hogy of monopoly becomes real:
trouble for the War Department is
anticipated, bolshevism is foreseen
and lack of political support at the
polls is implied.
Actually there is no connection
whatever between these projected
high power stations and monopoly.

sufficient radio regulation as a means
OF rendering a public service, both
through official radio circuits and pri-
vate and commercial activities. AS
opposed to owning or controlling pub
lie communication facilities, the draft
of the policy states that the Govern
ment will encourage and foster the
development of privately owned and
operated radio facilities in such a
manner that in time of war or ma
tionai emergencies there may be
available the most efficient system
for tho national defense. This en-
couragement consists. in part. of
utilizing the services of commercial
stations wherever the Governments
interest warrants. Government-own-
ed stations will not solicit, nor, ex-
cept in an emergency. accept non
governmental traffic from outside in
terests whom and where CONNIE rcial
stations can handle it satisfactorily
But on the other hand, the Govern
ment will facilitate the use of it's cir
cults by private interests whenever
this does not interfere with official
business and when commercial radio

Army and Navy are also interested in
technical radio development. The In

and to certain extent for safety. The
Commerce Department regulates private
and commercial communication, and
through the Bureau of Standards con-
ducts scientific research and establishes
standards. The Labor Department en-

The only supervision placed by the
Government over private radio COM
inunication is that Of the Bureau of
Navigation of the Department of
Commerce, which, by law, regulates
and co-ordinates such service in the
interest of efficiency, insuring a mini
mum Of interference and conflict be-
tween commercial broadcasting and

The Government itself uses radio
communication in the administration of
its business to much larger extent
than the general public realizes. Ter
departments are concerned in radio COM
munication and at least three separate
establishments. The Department of State
is concerned with international relations
and regulations as means of world
wide communications. In the Treasury
the Coast Guard and Public Health
Service are interested through communi-

intention OF establishing a high

as has been done for some time.
Neither the Government. the Depart
ment OF Commerce nor the conference
has anything to do with the manu-
facture of apparatus. Although most
broadcasting apparatus is 500 watts
or less, there is no limit on what can
be made. The question arises as to
its use, not manufacture, and it will
be up to the purchasers of these

Importance of government serv-

which opened here last Monday, dis

The policy is broad in its scope. de-

and privately operated systems, as
well as regulations, especially appli-

the statement of policy drawn up in
1904 by a board appointed under
President Roosevelt.
