BROADCASTING
t MR. H. G. WELLS’S VIEWS ON THE FUTURE WHAT IS WANTED
London, April 3. Mr. H. G. Wells, in an exclusive article in the "Daily Express,” .says:
g«“Tlie future of H broadcasting is, (like the future of Ecrossword puzzles Band Oxford trous- ■ ers, a very trivial g future indeed. It gwould be interestEing to know how gmatiy of the origginal enthusiasts ■ have smashed up ■ their sets and leeased listening. What is wanted is not z impartial, impersonal,
unsectarian, non-controversial, unprejudiced, kindly stuff . through loud speakers, but an invention, such as the tape machine, allowing the wireless recording of a simple set of news and events of the world broadcasted by somebodv knowing his job.” Incidentally wireless licenses have grown from 10,000 to 4,750,000. lhe ’Varsity boat race was faultlessly broadcasted over England from a launch following the race closely. Tins succeeded a superb broadcast of the Grand National, while elaborate preparations are being made to broadcast the Derby.
