[HSPIAL.2 ‘The general reason given for opposing | the Couzens hill for the present is thu] - radio regulation is not yet at m= R astage where it can be safely assim| i to regulation of wire ' communication because of radio’s m: dal lems. The comm! erally azzeed that sw such as the Couzens b will require consideration at two or “three sessions of Oongress.” In the meantime the committee urges “the immediate termination of the ex- isting uncertainty and division of au- thority in radio administration in the United States by placing radio. regula-’ tion definitely and permanently in the hands either of the Federal Radid Com- mission or the Department of Com- merce.” > “Speaking solely from the point of view of the best interests of radio regy- lation,” says the report, “the committée on radio law feels that it does not pos- sess sufficient information to enable it tions commission, that the conclusion of the hearings on the Couzens bill'should be awaited. “To’ date the commiittee has received \ ho convincing evidence of any present need for such a commission. It may very well be that the desirable solution les in the df of creating & new governmental department under the su- Ppervision of a secretary of communica- :l;e,nf.lon of ludi:-l mmt;lofl until ni regulation blished on & soun and durable basis.” Anti-Monepoly' Attitude.
