time from the National and Columbia
broadcasting companies. This action
will bring this matter to the atten-
ton of the whole nation. The CO.
Operative League represents between
six to eight million families in the
country. Senator Norris said these
people have the right to advocate
their policies over the air just as the
Republicans, Democrats and other
corporations have.
Among other things the Senator
said:
1.-THE question goes much deeper
than whether one likes cooperative
or does not like a cooperative. 1t
is a question of whether broadcast
ing systems which are given access
to the air which God has given us
so freely should be allowed to pre-
vent being heard over the air an or
ganization which is honest, which
has a definite idea to present.
1.-The question of whether the idea
it has in view is right or wrong is
not material when discussing the
principles involved 1t desires to
present to the people of the country
what it believes to be great move
ment which is now in vogue in many
sections of the country"
Senator Burton K. Wheeler prompt
ly came to the support of the reso-
luton, and he happens to be the
chairman of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, to which the
resolution was referred.
Senator Wheeler said the broad
casting companies had first turned
down the Cooperative League on
the ground that its material was con-
troversial, but had later taken the
position that the other advertisers
using their facilities might object.
There are those" Wheeler COM
mented, who are opposed to CO.
operatives because they think the CO.
operatives may interfere with their
profits or their dividends, and tend
to bring down the cost of living to
the average man.
1.-The broadcaSting systems permit
radio commentators who are paid
by some of the big interests to go
on the air and discuss matters which
are highly controversial. l can see
no reason why the broadcasting COM
panies should not permit the CO.
operatives to broadcast if they pay
for that service
Neville Miller, head of the ma
tional broadcasters, commented as
follows:
eff the proposed investigation ma
terializes you may be sure that all
the advocates of bureaucratic control
of both radio and the press will be
on hand to urge the enactment of a
law which would put an end to the
American system of broadcasting.
"In the case which led Senator
Norris to introduce his resolution, the
broadcasting companies involved, act
ing in strict accord with the National
Assn of Broadcasters' Code of Pro-
gram Standards, refused to sell time
to discuss the philosophy of the Con-
SumerS' movement-a controversial
public ISSUE"
Mr.. Miller's suggestion that a
change in some of the methods of
American broadcasting might result
after public opinion has been aroused
will not brighten very large seq
ment of the public.
