MACDONALD ATTACKS
POLICY OF CHAMBERLAIN
Says British Foreign Secretary Is
Falling Back on Old Mill
tary Alliances.
BY the Associated Press.


ny Ine ASSOCIATED tresS.
LONDON, March 16-Ramsay Mac
Donald, addressing a labor meeting
In London last night, strongly criti-
cized Austen Chamberlain's Geneva
policy. He said the Tory party re-
jected the protocol simply because
the labor party had created 1t.
Er. Macdonald averred that he had
never read more pettifogging speech
than that of the British foreign Sec
retary at Geneva. Mr.. Chamberlain,
he said, had never visualized the big
ness OF the things he was dealing
with.
Denying that the protocol assume d
the sanction of force. Mr.. Macdonald
asserted that when Mr.. Chamberlain
rejected it he fell back on pacts,
which meant nothing but military
alliances. Security could never come
by mere military pacts. The protocol
would have become operative only
when the nations had agreed on dis
armament, and II was rubbish to say
that the protocol made the provisions
OF the Versailles treaty permanent.
These proposals of military security
In the form of pactS, Mr.. Macdonald
said, were just the Old World raising
It's evil head again. He predicted that
no one self governing dominion would
put its name to any pact Mr.. Cham
berlain must prepare as a substitute
for the rejected protocol.

Radio vs.. Movies.

Radio. especially the broadcasting
OF grand opera in Barcelona, Is
threatening the movies, and the
Spanish exhibitors are fearful that
the radio craze will continue.
When II was announced that Mozart 8
Magic Flute" was to be broad
cast from q new station at the Teatro
Liceo more than sc, 900 receiving sets
were sold in but 10 days. according
to reports to the Department of Com
merce. In view of the fact that only
10000 sets were sold in the entire
year OF 1924. II may be imagined what
happy surprise the radio distribu-
tors received. Recently il has been
announced that a second broadcaster
will be erected in Barcelona, and the
"wildness" for radio continues un-
abated.
Naturally il affected the sale OF
tickets 10 the movies on the evenings
that the grand opera was transmitted,
throwing that industry into consider
able confusion. During the first. radio
tran emissions in January attendance
at the moving picture houses fell off
over 90 per cent. The moving picture
interests are very pessimistic; they do
not expect the craze to pass, but to
increase, and they are uncertain
where il will stop. In an effort to
win the support Of the government, I,
the association OF moving picture in
terests in Barcelona has prepared a
memorial showing what heavy taxes
the ctnemas pay the national treasury
and incidentally what a number OF
employees they use in their industry.
They go further, suggesting that a
substantial tax be levied on the
owners of receiving sets and a heavier
enc on transmitting stations, hopin &
TO discourage broadcasting and listen
ing in, in an effort TO save their own
businesses. AS yet the government
has taken no action, although each
concert broadcast brings out more
listeners.

the demand for radio sets and access
sories is increasing rapidly, consular
advices to the Department OF Com
merce state. Although a Government
license is necessary for every set
operated, it Is understood that many
are still operating their sets without
a license.
Dealers throughout the district
claim that a marked change in their
radio business has taken place during
the past year. The tendency now
seems TO be in favor of five-tube sets
for loudspeaker and two-tube sets for
headphoue use.
Evidently fewer home sets are being
made than in previous years; people
are now buying complete sets, due to
the fact that competition has enabled
the dealers to bring down their prices.
II is now possible TO buy complete
set at price not much in excess OF
the cost of parts.
To be permitted TO operate a radio
receiving set. the owner must obtain
a license from the Dominion govern
ment, the fee for which is 81 per an
mum.
While some OF the sets in use are
of America n manufacture. the major
ity are products OF Canadian factories
controlled by American capital. In
dividual purchases are made either
from the more important local dealers
or from Montreal or Toronto. The
chief obstacle to thNdevelopment OF a
market for the American product il

enabled the aviation post at France
Field to use the naval station at
Colon, when necessary, by means Of
remote control. This obviated the
necessity of erecting a new trans
mitter for the aviation post. Radio
Engineer Donovan Of McCook Field,
who recently returned from months
visit TO Panama, reports that with
improvements made there and prac-
tical schedule, both services are find-
Ing that their needs are adequately
handled by the single station.
Ordinarily the Signal Corps OF the
Army handles inland traffic and the
Navy transoceanic radio messages,
but of late far greater cooperation
has been developed, and the two great
systems are functioning satisfactorily
by sharing stations at several points.
Further consolidation, or at least
double use of sets. may be effected in
the Philippines, Alaska and at coastal
points in the United States proper.

highway would be the longest in
the state, bisecting Georgia almost
exactly through its center. "a
