ty is in power. The principal
force that drives it to being a
hand-maiden of the administration
is the power of life and death,
sound and silence, which the fed
eral radio commission holds over
every broadcasting station in the
land. That was true in the Cool
idge days. 1t was true in the
Hoover days. 1t would be true of
any future Republican admins
tration. For the same reason it
would be SO we're the Socialist
Norman Thomas in the White
ouSe."
The heart of the difficulty lies
in the fact that there only are
limited numbers of channels for
broadcasting. This makes freedom
of the radio a very different mat
ter from freedom of the press or
freedom for speech. If there were
only few printing plants in the
country, or only very few halls
In which to produce plays, con-
certs, and make speeches, the
problem of a free press and free
speech would be like the problem
of the radio.
There are a limited number of
channels and there are only linn
tied number of hours each day
when people can listen to broad
casts. The problem of free radio
is how to divide up fairly these
limited opportunities. Any one
can hire a hall. Any one can hire
a printer. But only few people
can talk on the radio in any one
DAY. And those who decide who
snail talk, at what time, and for
how long, are bound to move in
that twilight zone that lies be-
tween censorship and editorial
discretion.
BECAUSE the facilities are linn
~ tied, it follows inevitably that
government control il necessary.
1t would be impossible, for ex-
ample, to sell a wave length to a
private company and treat it as
private property. That would
make the station independent of
the government, to be sure, but
it would mean that the air was
pre- empted for those who could
pay the highest price for it. That
would be intolerable. A govern
ment monopoly of the air, though
it seems to work reasonably we'll
ir- England, would be obnoxious
to American sentiment. There
remains only, therefore, the
method of licensing private sta
tions on the understanding that
they will be administered fairly.
That this system will work per-
fectly no one who ever has been
an editor would expect. Let us
say that the secretary of labor
broadcasts speech on the adj
ministration policy. There should
be reply. But who is to make it?
The secretary of labor in the pre-
viouS administration? An old
guard Republican? A spokesman
OF the A. F. of LIP A spokesman
of the Iron and Steel Institute?
A Socialist of the left wing? Of
the right wing? Of the Commu-
nists? Of the American Workers
party?
Newspapers can, and many of
them do, give representation to
all shades of opinion pro and con.
But how can a radio station do
that? On really critical issue.

posing view, but half a dozen.

ID EPORTS of strained personal
N relations between Herbert
Hoover and nattily-attired Henry
Fletcher, new national Republican
chairman, bring hearty laugh
from the latter.
Not only are the two men on
the best of terms, but Fletcher
credits the ex-President with
saving him 100000. 1t happened
this way:
Four years ago Mr. Hoover
asked Mr.. Fletcher to accept the
Craftsmanship of the tariff COM
mission. After the latter had in
dictated his willingness to accept,
Mr.. Hoover informed Mr.. Fletcher
that he would have to dispose of
any stocks he owned.
Some industry in which you
hold stock may come before the
commission, Mr.. Hoover said. Il
am sure you will agree with me
that to be on the safe side, it is
best that you take no chances and
sell all your stocks
This was in 1880. The stock
market had slumped, but, COM
pared with later declines, was still
prosperous.
Mr.. Fletcher, believing, as did
almost every one else, that the
market would bounce back, was
reluctant to sell. But bowling to
his chiefs wishes, he disposed of
all stocks.
Four months later he was ex-
actly 100000 richer. The market
had crashed to unheard of depths
and stayed there. Henry Fletcher
ever since has been grateful to
Herbert Hoover.
PROBABLY no chairman of a
l. senate foreign relations COM
mittee in the history of the United
States has established the record
attained by Key Pittman, lanky
senator from Nevada.
What there is in the desert
wastes of that state which inspires
erudition in the field of foreign
affairs remains a mystery. But
Key Pittman handles his foreign
relations committee as no previous
chairman.
Treaties and other affairs of
state are clicked through his COM
mittee with clockwork precision.
The treaty with Cuba ending the
Plat amendment was ratified in
record time. And the other day
Pittman reported out and secured
ratification of fourteen treaties
all in the space of a few minute:
Most of these treaties, inciden-
tally, were written by Republican
Presidents, had been gathering
dust in the senate foreign rela-
