UNSATISFACTORY CONDITIONS
R A DTO BR AODCASTTNG. EVASION OF LICENSE FEES. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received Feb. 5r 12.46 j>.m.) SYDNEY, Feb. 5. The Daily Telegrapn, dealing with the subject of broadcasting, says that it is officially known that there are 25,031 listening-in radio stations in South Wales, but unofficially, it is con servatively estimated that the number actually exceeds one hundred thousand. Accordingly, there are at least seventy-five thousand law breakers. Meanwhile the radio trading business is slumping badly. Broadcasting appears to be 'at a dead end as far as developments are concerned, and generally the position is as unsatisfactory as it could be. The Telegraph deals with various causes contributing to the alleged evasions, including the objection to pay such a. high license fee as 35s yearly, the contention by others that the Government has no legal right, under the present law. to levy a fee. The paper urges the -pressing need for reconsideration oi the whole question, in order to end the present unsatisfactory condition of affairs.
