But we recognize that there exist
unjust alignments of wages in certain
trades. as compared with wages of
workers in other trades who. must
possess substantially the same degree

IN these trades and occupations would
seem to be required before general
industrial stability can be resumed. the

 'The broadcasting station must have some means of support. Eng land has solved this problem by taxing radio stations, and no ad- vertising is heard in British broad casting. But the average citizen of our country has a feeling to-day that the tax concession has already been over-subscribed. and I doubt if our people want broadcasting tax" he said.
 General Saltzman said that he had little doubt that the 15,000,000 radio owners in the United States would prefer the sponsored to the taxed programs were the question put up to them directly.
 He admitted there are many sta- tions operating mainly for the pro- fits to be gained and permitting "excessive and nauseating' 'advertis- ing. He said:
 :'These stations are hastening the day when grave consideration must be given to the question as to wheth- CT they are operating in the public interest, convenience and necessity General Saltzman told the assem- bly that the number of educational institutions applying for permits to operate stations is rapidly increasing.
