ENTIRE CONTINENT GIVES
PROGRAM ON AIR LANES

Every little wave length had
message all it's own last night, and
delivered 1t with more or less &C
curacy. Holy Week and the spirit
TO springtime dominated the pro-
grams everywhere. From the Toll
lefsen Trio at WIZ an accurate and
scholarly group Of chamber music
studies was heard. For those who
like the calculating. mathematical
playing Of the notes as they appear
in black and white-without much
or any Of the spirit Of true song
in them-chamber music as the
Tollefsers do 1t ought to be pleasing.
At WTAM, in Cleveland, there
was q most ambitious orchestra
which started in early to give very
excellent program of Easter music,
and kept it up through the evening.
Canada contributed more than
its share Of the evenings pro-
gram from both Montreal and
Toronto. The Canadian stations
have been coming into the re-
ceiVers internationally of late but
last night made themselves very
much q part Of the continental
concert. The quartet At Toronto
presented an especially enjoyable
program, despite the atmospheric
din that accompanied Il.
The big station at Hastings,
Neb., registered well in the loud
speaker with varied program

written in 800 words! Then, per-

to such a length that the, more

A great night for IiaIing vas
the last night of March!
There was plenty of disturbance
IN the atmosphere, but there were
also four or five hundred broad
casting stations In various sections
of the North American continent

Every section of the country came
into the receiving sets with volume.
From Boston to Los Angeles, To-
rOnt0 and Minneapolis to New
Orleans. Tampa to Hastings. Neb..
everything came through the air
clearly, more clearly than at any
time this season, though tire in
reference was greater than last
week and a trifle more difficult

great night all around. and every
body ought to be satisfied with
the results.

BRoADCASTERS CONDUCT
DETERMINING DRIVE

One of the best little indoor
sports In the broadcasting business
these days seems to be inserting
here and there in the programs they
are broadcasting little things list
ners-in are requested to make the
subject of letters to their Congress
men--if any! And one of the best
little ways to annoy and disgust
and generally peeve hsteners-in is
to break into a perfectly good pro-
gram with something that should
be written to Congressman. Just
at present the listener is being i'm
portuned with q 'do-it-now- because
tomorrow never-comes'' sort of COM
n1and, to write Congressman about
the radio copyright bill and get re-
lief for broadcasters from the heavy
hand Of the composers and authors,
who are silly enough to think they
might be paid for their output
through a regularly organized col
lection agency called the American
Society of Authors and Composers
or something like that. The broad
casters organization wants 1t made
clear to the public the fact that the
broadcasters think the authors and
individually and not through a
trust So there you are. We've
said it.
We think the authors and
composers ought to be paid,
too. More than that, we think
they ought to be paid well.
We're not so sure they're get
ting much OF the royalty money
that goes into their collecting
agency because we have 3
fancy that the publishers, who
generally own the copyrights,
are sIkimming the cream from
that fund. We sympathize with
the poor brOadcasters deeply.
Wen weep with them, II they
so desired But when broad
casters reach q point where
find their own stuff coming
back to them from here and
there and everywhere, BEN
efftting anyone but the author
who often sweats blood TO con-
ceive it-they'N realize that we
have q deep and abiding sym
patty with the authors, too.
We sincerely hope the broad
casters and the collecting
agency of the authors and
composers settle their defer
ences-whetIler by the proposed
iegisIati0n or In any other sat
isfactory way.

AMERICAN TERMS BETTER.
L. S. to Get 26 Per Cent of Debt, Brit
ain Is, Mellon Explains.

The present value of the italian
British debt settlement signed yester-
day in London is about 16 per cent
of the Indebtedness funded, as COM
pared to the value of the Italian
American settlement, representing
about % per cent of the Indebtedness
funded, Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon explained today.
The Italian-British settlement, Mr.
Mellon said, according to informal
advices, calls for annuity payments Of
100000 the first year. $4,000 900 the
second and third years, f4,25O 900
from the fourth through the seventh
year and f4.500,000 from the eighth
through the sixty-second year. This
represents a total payment of f276,-
000. 900 over the 62-year period to
amortise an Indebtedness of $500
900.
Italy owes to Great Britain $2,S37,-
600, 900 and to America $2,042 ,OOO. 900.
AS compared with the Italian
American settlement, Great Britain re-
ceives from Italy in the 62-year period
total payments of $1.346, 900 900, of a
present value on "A per cent basis
of $455, 900 900, as against total pay

Settlement Approved.

The settlement was made with the
approval of the cabinets of both
signatories, and will be ratified almost
Immediately by the governments.
On the face of today's agreement
Great Britain is living up to the Of
fer contained in the famous Balfour
note, that she would ask her credi-
tors to repay only an amount equal
to the c SO 100000 a year she must
pay the United States. According to
the suggested proportions of the Bal
four note, Italy would have to pay
C 900 900 more a year than she has
just agreed to pay. If the French
government honors NJ. CaillanX's
tentative agreement to pay ( IL, 800
900 a year on account of Frances
debt TO Great Britain, even with
reparations payments of c1G,0e0,000
a year from Germany and with
another 6 4,000,000 annually which
the minor war debtors are expected
to pay. the British taxpayer still will
have to pay about G2.000,000 each
year out Of his own pocket during
the next 62 years.
1t is pointed out that even if Great
Britain is able to receive approx
mately G31 900 900 from these sources
to meet her American annuities of
e33, 100000 she will have sacrificed
half the capital owed her and inter

the cases of the United States and
Great Britain. with respect to Italy's
debts to them, were not the same.
Each creditor, he said. estimated
Italy's ability to pay on a different
basis, and on these bases each was
satisfied. The cabinet instructed him
to have regard for Britain's friend
