President Roosevelt had some nice things to say about the radio industry the other day as he forwarded message to Chicago at the opening of the annual con- vention of the Radio Manufacturers Asso. citation. We were particularly interested for two reasons, one of them being the inaugural of Waterbury's own station at this time ---- WATR, the Voice of Water bury. The other was the recent fight in Congress over passage of the communities tions commission bill. Of course the Sen- ate defeated the amendment in which we were interested particularly. It granted equality of the air to n0n.pr0ft-maklng stations such as WLWL, the Paulist Fathers station in New York city. Although q veteran broadcaster this sta. tion is limited to fifteen hours week time on the air. No manner of persuas- ion can secure additional time. It WAS in the defense of such stations as arc unable to get justice that the equal right to the air clause was inserted. We hope the new communications commission will sec the situation in different light.

It's funny thing, but we judge the trend of the times on the capacity of both mans stomach and also his pocketb0ok. We would expect the latter, but not always the former. However, figures now prove that better times are with us because the nations candy bill is mount ing. An increase in consumption in all parts of the United States has recently been noted. In the first four months of 1883 the value of all confectionery and chocolate was $52, ,g00 ,0OS. For the same period in 1884 it WAS $67,164 ,0G1. And to make this all the more amazing the gen. eraI price of candy this year is lower than it was q year ago. This would mean more candy would have to be eaten propor- tionatoIy to make up the difference in average prices. The penny and fivc-cent types still lead In sales. In other words, children are not losing their sweet teeth.

The question of the processing tax is worrying some of our national legislators They find that states like Connecticut and others in the New England and eastern group are getting far less return from this tax than the mid and far western states.

Not until too late did the anec-

Instead of apologizing immedi-
