WELLS OX RADIO
RESULT OF BROADCASTING NEGLIGIBLE (Rec. 1.15 p.m.) London, April 4. Mr H. G. Wells in an exclusive article in the Daily Express says the future of broadcasting, like the future of crossword puzzles and Oxford trousers, is very trivial. “Indeed, it would be interesting to know how many original sets have been smashed or how many people have ceased listening in. What is wanted is not the impartial, impersonal, unsectarian, non-controversial, unprejudiced kindly stuff through the loud speakers, but an invention such as a tape machine allowing the wireless recording on a simple set of the news events of the word broadcast by Bomebody knowing his job.” Incidentally wireless, licenses have grown from 10,000 to 4,750,000.—A. and N.Z.
