er the speakers desk or to drape
the front of platform. Bunting,

serves these purposes. On float,
automobile or boat the flag should
be displayed only on staff.

National Policy for Radio
Broodcosting
By c. F. Rose, Jr. NeU York
Harper Bros.

By c. F. Rose, Jr. NeU York:
Harper Bros.
This is the summary of an in
vestigation of radio broadcasting by
the National Economic and Social
Planning Association and is claimed
to be the first distinterested and ex-
tensive inquiry which has drawn on
the experience of all elements in
the industry, as well as on the other
crucially interested groups in society.
The book goes extensively into the
problems facing an industry which
holds the power of greatest influence
for the people through the medium
of mass communication and sets out
in detail facts facing the broad
casters and their regulation by the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion. It is filled with excerpts from
many ofilcial reports and tables on
various angles Of the business, signi-
ficantly pointing out that the indus
try is built on the base of economies,
involved in the desire of both
the broadcaster to make money and
the desire of the advertiser to reach
only those people he can serve with
his goods. This, 1t was pointed out,
has resulted in q concentration OF
stations in the great centers of pop
ulation. particularly in the East,
with q large part Of the rural pop
ulation without any regular service.
Even severe critics of the present
system of broadcasting in the United
States admit that it is probably the
best in the world, but the author
contends that 1t is still possible to
introduce reflnements. The broad
casting industry is attempting to
solve its problems, stimulated partly
by the desire to avoid greater gov
ernmental regulation. There are
suggestions for solving some Of the
problems, and the author speaks
broadly In favor Of maintaining the
network systems as the basis for
American radio, pointing out that
while the system has been built
around the individual station, actual
practice today and the anticipated
national requirements Of tomorrow
make 1t appear that this theory Is
obsolescent, If not already obsolete.
The networks provide the only me
dunn for giving the public the kind
Of broadcasting to which 1t is en-
titled.
The author contends that both
network and unafIiliated stations
should be general interest stations
and urges q policy of eliminating
the special interest broadcast sta
tions such as those supported by
religious, labor and educational in
stitutions. The book contains many
pointed suggestions for those
charged with the duty of regulating
broadcasting in the public interest
and would be q good text book for
those interested in giving to the
people the highest benefits from this
means of mass entertainment.
