Politics by Radio.

Inc Federal communications Com
mission, by mandate of Congress, has
stepped squarely into the middle of the
political broadcasting arena with new
set Of regulations designed to assure
equal rights to all candidates before the
microphone. There are indications that
the F. c. G. assumed its role of referee
with some degree Of trepidation.
The task assigned to the commission
is not an easy one. Under the law it
must see to it that no favoritism is
shown political candidates in allotting
time on the air during campaigns. The
law does not compel radio station to
open its facilities to any candidate, but
if the station does so of its own initia-
tive, equal facilities must be made avail
able to any or all Of the candidates
rivals. If fees are charged. they must
be the same for all candidates
there must be no rebates or other
favors.
The law applies only to candidates for
political Office. Hence, the commission
will be unable to do anything toward
controlling the oratorical outbursts of
friends or enemies of the candidates who
wish to buy radio time. Nor is there
anything in the statute, apparently, to
prevent supporters of one party from
buying up all available spots" on the
air to the exclusion of another party's
supporters, providing the rules with re-
spect to actual candidates are not in
fringed.
An even more serious defect of the
law, however, is a provision prohibiting
radio stations from exercising censor
ship Of any speech broadcast by a duly
qualified candidate. Veteran political
observers doubt the wisdom of this pro-
vision, In view of the mud-slinging and
personal invective that have marked
some national and State campaigns of
the past. In the heat Of political debate
things are apt to be said that border
on SANDER, and If radio station can
not prevent the broadcasting of such
matter, will it be immune from liability
as purveyor Of the slander? The law
would seem to contain an invitation to
candidates to "go the limit" under pro-
lection of the F. c. @.
Members Of the commission are said
to be cognizant Of the fact that the act
is far from ideal. They are awaiting
with real concern the first test of the
new regulations during the approaching
fall campaigns. The trial undoubtedly
will result in recommendations to the
next Congress for re-study of the
troublesome problem of political broad
casting, and in this study sympathetic
attention should be given to the problem
not only of the silver-tongued candidates,
but Of those who have to listen to them.

Spain, Britain and Italv.


1t is significant If depressing COM
mentary on Europes chronic incapacity
for collective action that the approach
ing second anniversary of the Spanish
civil war synchronizes with a belated
effort to evacuate foreign troops from
both armies. Under British leadership,
some twenty-seven nations, including
hitherto reluctant Russia, have Just
agreed to promote plans for turning
Spain back to the Spaniards" The pro-
gram looks to withdrawal of 10000 men
from each camp.
On its face, that scheme seems to
favor Franco, both because such a
defamation Of their ranks would still
leave the Insurgents many thousands of
Italian and German veteran fighters,
and a corresponding detection from
the Loyalists would probably almost
wipe out the governments contingent
OF Russians, Frenchmen, anti-Fascist
Italians and men of various British and
American origins. Franco could the
more comfortably afford the loss be-
cause of the vast range of Spanish ter
ritory he holds and the strategic posi-
tions his forces occupy along the Medi-
terranean seaboard, with abiding menace
to Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona, the
remaining Loyalist strongholds.
The situation bristles with complica-
tions apart from the foreign volunteers"
Mr.. Chamberlain is high-pressuring
Mussolini to hasten the recall of Francois
Italian troops because Great Britain
makes 1t condition for ratification of
the Anglo-1talian pact that the Spanish
war should be ended. II Duce is loath,
on his part, much as he Graves the
treaty, to take any steps that might
imperil 1nsurgent victory just as it seems
to be within frances grasp. Nor is
Mussolini unmindful that Chamberlain
sorely needs the Italian deal to bolster
his political and parliamentary position.
The tardy attempt to let the Spaniards
tight it out among themselves is further
handicapped by Anglo-Insurgent differ
ences over the bombing of British
freighters plying the lucrative blockade
running trade. Under hot opposition de-
mands in the House of Commons for
vindication of traditional British rights
at sea, the Prime Minister is now press
ing the Burgos government to clarity
its protestations of non-intent to single
out British craft for destruction. London
evinces little enthusiasm for Frances
Willingness to set aside Almeria as a
"bomb-free" port. Not only is that
harbor inadequate for cargo unloading
purposes and with respect to communi-
cation with the rest of Spain, but
Chamberlain hesitates to accept any ar
rangement which by implication would
legitimatize blockade by air."

Civil lAerOnautics Authority

Selections made by President Roose-
velt Of personnel of the new Civil Aero
nautics Authority seem to indicate a
highly commendable desire upon the part
OF the Chief Executive to divorce Federal
control Of civil aviation both from poll
tics and from dictates of established in
terests in the industry.
The President apparently ignored po-
litical considerations and professional
aeronautics" qualifications in arriving at
his choices for these vitally important
posts. The selections would seem to in
dicate a sincere desire upon the part Of
the President to establish harmonious,
smoothly working organization of nom
partisan, disinterested, efficient men.
This is especially encouraging in view
of the muddled state Of Federal aviation
control and the bitter political and pro-
fessional rivalries which it is apparent
have existed in the past. Although con-
ditions in the Bureau of Air Commerce
have vastly improved under the leader
ship Of DR.. Fred D. Fagg, jr, now dean
of Northwestern University, and his sue
cessor, Denis Mulligan, both conscien-
tious, capable directors, there still is room
for great improvement.
OF considerable significance is the fact
that the new chairman of the authority
describes himself as liberal Republic
an" He is known as an efficient, capable
business man, to whom aviation has been
chiefly hobby. OF the eight appoint
ments SO far announced, none of the ap-
pointees, with a single exception, has

Of July note that Mussolini has
pulled another grandstand to impress

would not import wheat from the $50

1t.
The United States of America, a

largest wheat crops in history. Mussolini
states he will not buy from "so-called
democracies." Let us Americans refuse

Ancient Origins.
They tell us it is very wrong
To do lot of things
To make an argument too strong
About the rights of kings,
To be too strict in telling folks
Just where they next may 60
If they persist in thoughtless jokes
But that was long ago.
We felt the seasonable change
And through the spaces wide
We knew that Nature, never strange,
Would for our needs provide.
Then some one polished weapons bright
To make glittering show
That put our dreams of peace to flight
And that was long ago.
