But science as yet has devised no means of making radio waves recognize interna- tlgllml boundaries and probably never will.

This commission is to deter- mine whether the Dominion government should take over the operation of broad- A. | casting and in that way rectify the de- plorable broadcasting ~ conditions, or whether other steps should be taken. Pleads for Canada. A candid open statement of the Ca- nadian situation is made by R. W. Ashcraft, manager of Trans-Canad: Broadcasting Co., the Dominia closest approach to a national chain. In an address before the Advertising Club of Montreal, Mr. Ashcroft diaj nosed the broadcasting ills of his coun: try, and made a fervent plea for the commercial support of Canada’s broad- casting system. He admits that Cana- dian listeners are dead against the ex- clusion of American programs unless they are offered Canadian programs just as good, but adds that “No true p. | Canadian wants radio in this country ekor.

"“We admit that until about a year ago Canadian radio was a huge joke—a travesty. None 10f us would, until recently, think of listening in to a Canadian’ station if ‘we could get satls(ncwty receiving from an American station.” But, adds Mr. Ashcroft, the situation is different today in Eastern Canada, and cn"xtll be still ful‘th;:‘g )limpmved be: cause there are some grade spon- sored programs of Canadian origin. Points Way to Solution. Mr. Ashcroft suggests the creation of a Dominion radio commission to regu- late commercial broadcasting, which would have the 6 exclusive and 11 shared wave lengths to deal with. “I doubt if the United States will ever voluntarily give us any more, as they s | have their own troubles to deal with.” Licenses should be granted fo six stations of not less than 5,000 watts (in contrast to the two such stations now operating), spanning the Dominion, he suggests. Licenses then should granted to relay stations of not lunhnn 500 watts capacity which would utilize the 11 Canadian-shared wave lengths, and these 17 “main” stations would be hooked up as a network for chain pro- grams of a sponsored character. In way, he suggests, Canada can win back its radio listeners, and provide Ithem with first-class Canadian enter- tainment. “Not a dial would need to be turned to tune in an American station. In fact, bundreds of thousands of Ameri- can listeners-in would be tuned into Canadian stations,” says he. (Copyright, 1929, by the Ocnsolidated Prese.) EDUCATIONAL.
