FRANCE WATCHES GENEVA.

PARIS, March 1.-THE political
group of France, with Premier Bri-
and away in Geneva, has it's eyes
turned towards Switzerland. The
friends of M. BRAND feel that his
presence at THE league council is the
silver lining in the clour which men
aces French internal politics. His
enemies We're exulting in the thought
tonight, that should M. BRAND fail at
Geneva the life of his ninth cabine;
will be short lived, probably fall on
his return.
Thus for the first time in the his
tory of the third republic the fate of
the French cabinet hinges on nego-
tiations at Geneva.
M. Caillaux, in an interview today
explained that he had refused the
portfolio of minister of finance in
order to obtain satisfactory results
the minister of finance must also be
premier. He said he had a financial
plan so comprehensive that it had
gone beyond the frontiers of the min
istry of finance, and even nation
ally, and upon it would depend the
entire mechanism of public life.

WGN's Legal Right
To Wave Length
Upheld by Judge

Conclusive evidence of the legal
property right established by prior
ity in the use of broadcasting wave
lengths is contained in the des-
cision of Judge Francis S. Wilson,
of the Illinois Circuit Court, re-
straining radio station VICES from
broadcasting on a wave length closer
than so kilocycles to that of the
Chicago Tribune station. WGN, in
the opinion of Powell Crosley, Jr,
owner of super-power station WLW,
in Cincinnati.
WINS owner, who has long
championed the cause OF pioneer
broadcasters, believes the future of
the broadcasting art depends on the
protection of established stations
from the danger of having their
programs ruined through indis-
eliminate appropriation of wave
lengths by newcomers in the field or
broadcasting. Such practice. ne says,
is in violation of the usual idea of
right to property.
The decision of Judge Wilson is
based on the principle that priority
of time in the use of wave length,
and in the construction of equipment
for broadcasting on this wave. creates
right to the unimpeded use of that
wave channel which must not be
violated by other and newer stations.
The principle was stated as being the
same as that of the exclusive right
to the use of registered signs and
trademarks.
The moral effect of this decision
may cause many new stations to
abandon wave lengths, on which they
are now operating. that interfere
with the programs of older stations.
Such a result would considerably
clear up present broadcasting diff
ficulties and improve reception.
The question of what channels Tor
the hundreds of new stations to use
will continue to be a problem. now :
ever. AS a solution to this difficulty
the assignment of low waves to new
stations, within a now unused band
of wave lengths in which there is
room for several hundred stations
without crowding, has been strongly
advocated by Mr.. Crosley.
