Empire Broadcasting Corporation Urged
LONDON. April 8.
Urging the creation of an Empire Broadcasting Corporation, a special correspondent of the “Daily Mail” says: "Since the outbreak of the war a sense of community has grown throughout the Empire, which must not be replaced in cold storage after the war."
The article points out that the beginnings of the Empire Broadcasting Corporation is seen in the system whereby the Dominion radio commentators in the Middle East sent messages to the 8.8. C., which transmitted them on shortwave from London. "We owe it to ourselves and the world to let the Empire’s voice be heard. The Empire has always depended for safety on communications, and the new medium of radio is extraordinarily adapted to our needs. It seems appropriate that the Mother Country should give a lead and that the Government should take action. There are the 8.8. C. in Britain, the A.B.C. in Australia and the C.B.C. in Canada. India, New Zealand and South Africa fill gaps in the radio alphabet, but at all costs we must have an E.B.C. to complete the Empire circle."
