TO broadCaster of politics:
Radio is helping to usher in the
mental or spiritual era. | am not
qualified TO estimate the potential
social effects of radio. That has
been done and will be done by
poets and statesmen. Certainly
radio is a great force for enlight-
enment. BY it vast numbers of
people receive a flood of light on
current affairs and on people. 1t
Is such light as removes misunder-
standing. cleans out pre- ejudices and
reveals that human differences are
the minor instead of the larger
facts of life. While radios func-
tions may include some extension
of the scope of formal education,
1t is likely TO be most valuable as
supplement to the education of
the schools. Just such general
enlightenment may be the salvation
of this transition era of mechan-
iCal conquest. 1t will tend to pre-
vent exclusive devotion to the
