Radio
Dial

tion's Capital" program which

The address of Governor Cox,
who in 1920 was the Democratic

Jan Paderewkski, the world
famous pianist and one Of the
few holdouts from radio, made
the remark when he landed in
New York the other day that
radio had neither hurt nor bene'
fitted music. The famous Polish
musician comes to America for
an extended concert tour. He
has steadfastly refused up to
this time to even consider max
ing a radio appearance.
AS to radio neither hurting nor
benefiting music, I rather take
issue with him. Radio has lln-
doubtedly made it possible tor
the great mass of people to hear
good music. Until the past five
years the people who knew and
listened to even light classics
were in the great minority. Since
radio has become what it is, there
is hardly household containing
radio which at some time or
other during each week tunes in
and listens to good music. Mr..
Paderewski is wrong.

retary of Commerce, whose talks
