"A casting systems now in vogue
4 \ in Europe, according to John
s. Young, N. B. G. announcer,
who has Just returned from an ex-
tensive survey of broadcasting methods
on the other side of the Atlantic.
Young said his observations led
him to conclude that "the test by
which any national system of broad
casting must stand or fall is whether
the nation caters to the needs of its
own listeners and adequately fulflls
their distinctly national characteristics
of mind and enjoyment in terms of
the national culture"
What is good for one country in
radio broadcasting," Young declared,
may not be good for another be-
cause of the difference in social struc-
ture and traditions"
Young pointed out broadcasting in
England is semi-governmental
monopoly. The British BroadcaSting
Corp. is responsible to Parliament
which provides funds and also to the
Post Office Department which fur
nishes the license.
German broadcasting, Young said
has changed from an aggregation of
privately owned companies into pub
licly owned system which takes its in
structions from the Minister of Propa-
ganda.
Russian broadcasting, according to
Young, while furnishing excellent
music, exists to inculcate Communist
ideals among the people. AS for
France, he said, there is a mixture of
elements, some analogous to England
and some to America" Both direct
government operation of broadcasting
through the post office and operation
by private companies are in force in
France.

Prominent Figures.
From their ranks stand out such
names as Henry Killam Murphy, the
architect; Helen Burton, Peiping's
famous art dealer; Lewis Charles Ar

customs and language; Judge Milton
D. Purdy, who for 10 years sat as
judge Of the United States Court for
China; Mrs. Pearl Buck, the former
missionary whose novels have re-

Land Moving Westward

Observations and calculations are
being made to affirm or deny the
truth of the report by the Naval OBJ
servatory that San Diego, Calf, has
moved 40 feet in the last seven
years. If the calculations of the OBJ
servatory are found to be correct
they will support the theory that all
land is drifting westward due to the
eastward rotation of the earth. The
theory holds that this drifting of the
land causes the earth's crust to bend
and thus form mountains. 1t is also
thought that the movement may be
a cause for earthquakes.-Pa thfind-
