EDITORS FAVOR
j. S. RADIO PLAN
Agree That the Government
Should Keep Hands Off
of Broadcasting.
BY ROBERT MACK,

If all the radio editors of all the
newspapers in the country were nodded
into one. he would tell you there's too
much advertising ballyhoo on the air;
that the public Is weary OF much OF
the "piffle" to which 1t must listen;
that the Government should keep hands
off broadcasting, and that, after all, bad
as broadcaSting may be in these United
States. it's still the best in the world.
That represents the composite mind
Of the radio editor on American broad
casting, as it was divulged today In the
results of survey conducted by the
Newspaper Radio Editors Association.
1t reflects the listener reaction, too, be-
cause the radio editor OF newspaper
through contacts with his readers by
fan mail and otherwise knows the state
Of the public mind on radio.
American Plan Superior.
They were asked to state what they
believed to be the best and worst ex-
amples OF commercial network pro-
grams: whether they favored the Amer
lean plan Of private operation of broad
casting as opposed to the European
system Of government monopoly;
whether they favored legislation to limit
advertising and to what extent, and
series of shop" questions on the listing
Of radio programs.
opinion that the American plan OF
broadcasting is superior to the govern
ment ownership method, with taxes on
receiving sets to defray operating costs
and no advertising. This was on the
ground that while advertising can be
overdone the American method of pro-
gram sponsorship assures better pro-
grams. Many editors urged restrictions
on the amount Of advertising. while
half dozen leaned toward the British
system and two favored 1t outright.
Trends Toward Monotony.
Government monopoly trends to-
ward monotony, minimizes the need
for initiative and progress. leaves the
listener helpless to procure the type
OF program he or she DESIRES" was one
reply.

favor the American plan," was an
other.
Personally I prefer paying tax, free
of bah-blah. II such system would

third
The sane plan lies somewhere be-
tween the two" said another.
AS to the maximum amount OF time
which should be devc ted to advertising

from suggestions that announcements
be limited to 20 words per program, or
from 2 to 10 per cent OF the programs

 Summarizing the years move ment of commerce, the collector said
 An increase of $4O3, ,548 in ship .nents ot gold and silver is noted for the year. The Fourth Division with mining activities centereu around Fairbanks, showed the the greatest increase in gold pro- duction. having a total ot S3,234.- 786, or an increase Of $l,334, 4,274 over 1929. The other three Divi- sions showed slight decline rom 1929. The total domestic gold and silver shipments from all Divi- sions amounted to s7,842, ,493 for hte year.
 Copper ore shipments Tor 1880 amounted to 37.774,696 pounds ana $5,34l, ,035 in value. This represents decrease Of 6,123,787 pounds and s3,356, $40 in value. The decline in the production of minerals ln AL aska during l930, other than gold, is well explained in a statement issued by the Geological Survey which states that the general in- dustrial conditions similar to those of the United States, and of practically all other countries Of the world, prevailed in Alaska in 1880 and are reflected in the de creased value of it's mineral out put. The prices paid tor the min eral commodities, other than gold, were So annormally low as cOnpar- ed with 1929 that more than S2,- C00,000 of the increase was due to this cause alone The low pnc4- however. had perhaps an even greater effect deterling develop ment Of mines whose ores carry principally the base metals, so that their output was either cur tailed or altogether stopped. Ob- viously this is a temporary con- dition that will disappear ln time, and there is nothing in the gener- al condition of the Alaska mining industry to indicate perman1 M decline.
 Total shipments of fish and fish products for 1880 amounted to $36,7l9,429, which is a decrease of S9,933, 1856 from 1929. This decline in both pounds and value ot fish shipments during 1880 is due to almost complete failure of the run of red fish in Bristol Bay, to- gether with adverse market con- ditions which affected the price of fish"
