Develop National Radio Policx

Whether or not the United States
takes an official part in the intena-
tfonal telegraph and radio conference
In Paris next Spring, private commu-
nication interests in this country are
considering the organization Of a
communication committee This body
is being formed by representatives
of the radio, cable, telegraph and
telephone companies operating in the
United States in the interest of an
efficient American communication sys-
tenn. 1t plans to Cooperate with the
government, probably through the
State and Commerce departments, by
furnishing data and technical advice
in preparation for future interna-
tionI conferences on communica-
tions.
1t is understood that the Radio
Corporation of America, the Ameri-
can Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany, Western Union, Postal, ALL
American Cables, Tropical Radio
Telegraph Company. and Independent
wireless Telegraph Company are
among the American communication
companies which will soon appoint
representatives on the private COM
nunication committee.
To date the United States Govern
ment has not ratified the conventions
OF the International Telegraph Union.
formed in 1903, and as a consequence
has not been invited to the next con-
vention. On the other hand, prac-
tically all private radio, cable and
telegraph companies of the States
have been asked to communicate sug-
gestions and recommendations for re-
Flslng the present regulations of this
union when the next session is held
IN Paris, probably in April or May,
1925. This they may do through the
intercompany committee being or
ganlzed in the event the United States
does not participate officially or
through unofficial observers. In re-
vising international regulations on
to suppose that the United States, as
country, could be left out. If off,
cial delegates are not sent, private
representatives will be. The voice of
North America is essential in revising
universal communication regulations
When the original international
convention was drawn mp in 1908 ra-
dio was literally in it's infancy. and
the. only provisions pertaining to ra-
dio operation were for ship-to-shore
service. Now, however, radio Is as
much a part of world communica-
tions as is cable and telegraph work,
which necessitates the rewriting Of
the conventions. .-s saz 49,
In view of the fact that the United
States delegates to the recent Mexi-
can conference encountered a lack of
interest on the part of the Latin
American representatives to propo-
sails designed to provide better service
for the peoples of the Americas and
for the development of privately
owned commercial systems, the for
nation of national committee by
the North American operating COM
panies seems to promise valuable as

Is everything suitable for broad
casting? Should there be any censor
ship over material put on the air by
private broadca asters? These are
questions which are very likely to be
raised at, the third National Radio
Conference, soon to be held in Wash
ington, beginning October 6.
Secretary Hoover has announced
himself as against any form of GEN.
sorship, and yet, as the governmental
administrator of radio. he is apt to
be called upon to decide such ques-
tionS when complaints come from
listeners-in who disapprove of some
sorts of entertainment, the acknowl-
edgment of kilograms, raw" jokes
and expressions of opinion subject to
criticism.
For. example. what could be done
with an individual who continually
cursed and swore in the course of a
speech he was making or who chose
to interrupt the broadcasting of a
sermon with impertinent remarks and
possibly obscene CALCULATIONS from his
own transmitter?
These things have occurred, and
may be repeated unless some law can
be unearthed or created to prevent
such practice. Under present radio
laws, it is doubtful if the offender
could be handled with anything like
justice to the incensed fans or the
clergyman who was interrupted.
There is apparently no law against
saying what one pleases on the air.
Radio regulations, which were orig
inally promulgated for commercial
and amateur radio telegraph trans
mission, provide that mo person shall
transmit or make a. signal containing
profane or obscene words or Ian
guage' 1t is understood pretty gen.
orally that transmit" applies to voice
transmissions by radio phone, but it
would probably require a court deci-
sion to settle this point satisfactorily.
1t is hoped that the broadcasters
themselves will voluntarily agree to
abide by the telegraph rules as inter-
preted by the Commerce Department.
Most broadcasters like to acknowl-
edge congratulatory kilograms, which
in general has been banned, being
considered private, point-to-point
service, and not strictly broadcasting.
But the question Of whether a sta
tion is not entitled to do this is sure
to be asked at the conference. Some
advocate the granting of at least a
few minutes during an evenings pro-
gram to acknowledgements address ed
to individuals. Others say this would
become a. bore to 999 out Of 1000
listeners unless there was some news
in it.. such as thanking the fan the
greatest distance from the station
who reported or acknowledging the
first telegram received following a
certain number. Such a practice
would certainly be unfortunate, un-
less limited to few messages.
Broadcasters would lose their audi
ences if it was continued for any
length of time.
The last radio conference agreed to
refrain from broadcasting advertise
ments, and it is believed further reg
ulations, thought desirable by ma
jority conference vote, can be en-
forced by a voluntary agreement to
keep the air clean and free from OBJ
jectionable matter without any form
of governmental censorship.

although the greater number of re-

that more stations are silent on Mon

Old Documents Indicate Chinese Found America
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

In 1851 the distinguished sinologist,
De Guiges, published paper which
he had found in the works of early
Chinese historians, in which appeared
the statement that in the Fifth CEN
fury certain travellers Of their race
had discovered a country which they
called "Fu-sang," which from the dis
lance and direction described by them
appears to have been northwest Amer
lea. The original document, according
to the author Of "Fu-sang, or the Dis
coyery Of America by Chinese Priests
in the Fifth Century" was the report
of the missionary, HoslisShin,
in the year 400 A. D., who returned
from a long journey to the East. The
report was entered in the year book
of the Chinese empire, and while the
evidence offered is limited, it has
every appearance of being a serious
state document.
Archie Bell, In his Sunset Canada:
British Columbia and Beyond" says
there is history of Vancouver island
that is clouded In the vapor and in
cense of China. The stranger or the

An Arizona Wonder

The Palo verdes, those wonders OF
Arizona, are like nothing we have In
the East, unless one could imagine an
asparagus plant twenty feet or more
in height, writes Anna BOtsford Com
stock in Nature Magazine. The trunk
usually divides rather low into two or
three large, spreading branches which
in turn divide into several irregular,
rather crooked limbs that bear masses
of intricate branchlets and twigs. and
which in aculeata carry the bare
rachises-midribs of the fallen leaflets
that give the tree a resemblance to
the long leafed pine. There it stands,
an object of beauty because OF its
vivid greenness and fringiness which
softens it's outline SO that the eastern
er classes it mentally as to loneliness
with the ferns and larches.

"PaIatinate''

This term is a survival of feudal
times. In the days when a mans
house was actually his castle which
he had to defend by force of arms,
kings were not anxious to assume re-
sponsibility. Therefore they found it
convenient to assign their adherents
to districts, giving each the power to
be master, collect taxes, and admins
ter justice as he saw fit. The term
"palatinate" was appropriately ap-
piled to such a holding as 1t comes
from the same Latin root word as
palace" and castle" Three hun
dred years ago palatinates were COM
mon. Many English counties have
been palatinates and this form of
governorship was common over here
For instance, Maryland was the
palatinate of the Calvert family.
Maine the palatinate of Feriinando

is the only territory of any Importance
