BROADCASTING PRESTIGE.

The supremacy of British broadcasting technique is demonstrated by the- fact that recently British firms have been given contracts for three wireless stations by foreign Governments. The Standard Telephones and Cables Company has been given the contract, valued at about £30,000, for the construction of a new Danish broadcasting station, with a power of 00 kilowatts. A new and up-to-date broadcasting station is to be constructed at the Marconi works at Chelmsford, for Buenos Ayres. The station will operate on a power of 20 kilowatts. A British firm has also been given the contract for the tvection of a station for the national programmes of Portugal. In April a British broadcasting expert. Major Gladstone Murray, director of publicity for'the 8.8.C., arrived in Canada at the express invitation of the Canadian Kadio League, to explain the successful methods of the B.V.L. before the special broadcasting committee of the Canadian House of Commons. This committee was set up to consider the establishment of a 1 corporation on the British lines.
