Noyes Shows Benefits.
Theodore w. Noyes, editor Of The
Star, said:
mot only good government, but
better government, occupies the minds
Of the people of this country. Any
medium disseminating knowledge of
everyday problems confronted by our
National Government must, OF neces-
sitv, be OF widespread interest.
we feel that the National Radio
Forum, presenting as it does, distin-
euished leaders in various schools of
political and economic thought, has
been, and will continue to be, an i'm
portant factor in making our people
more conscious Of the underlying fac
tors in good government. We are eX-
tremely happy to contribute our efforts
in the achievement OF these desired
ends"
Mr.. Kuhn, who will arrange each
program. has elaborate plans for the
Forum during the year 1882.
Service Informative.
at no time in the recent history of
our Government has there been such
intense interest in public affairs" Mr..
Kuhn says. THE Forum will keep the
people of America abreast of the latest
developments.
The Forum purposely does not ar
range its programs a long time in ad-
vance. Conditions change from week to
week. Issues which are Of paramount
Importance today may be shelved into
the background by more important
issues in the next FIVE days The Forum
endeavors to keep its programs as up TO
date as possible; to arrange for discus
sions of public questions of immediate
interest and Importance.
II am looking forward with great
deal Of pleasure to the Inauguration of
the National Radio Forum over the net
work of the National Broadcasting Co."
Makes Innovation.
Mr.. Kuhn is introducing an innova-
ton in the National Radio Forum.
Prom time to time we plan to inter
view leading public officials over the
air." he said. I'm this way the speakers
will have direct questions put to them,
questions which will serve to clarity
issues which may otherwise be some
what complicated"
No subject, no matter what its nature.
as long as it pertains to pending gov
ernmental problems, will be barred by
the Forum. The subjects to be dr.
cuSsed, will be largely confined, how
ever, to questions occupying public at
tention at the moment.
