During a discussion a gentleman suddenly arose and in a voice of terror exclaimed—“Thei'c is a reporter in the hall." Mr. L. P. Tonton assured this sentinel and the audience. "it's all right. the Guardian reporter is gone." Mi‘. Tanton had not noticed that a sco- ond Guardian reporter had lust come in to relicvc illS confrcrc WllO had work to do elsewhere.‘

The Guardian. anxious to ‘get a‘

detailed report of the Officials‘ re- marks. iater asked the Secretary for of Messrs. Bentley and McLeod. but was in- formed that it could get these re- ports only on one condition. namely: that certain portions be ekpurgated. not by the compilers of the reports. but by certain members of the Al- liance executive. The Guardian did not. accept the conditions, pro- ferring to give a summary prepared by its own reporters in the regular way. than to give a report garbled by interested parties without the. knowledge or consent of the men‘ whose reports were dealt with.

The Guardian representative who! interviewed the Secretary was told that the Patriot had the Official reports of both addresses and had agreed to publish only expurgated editions which of course suited the policy oi‘ the Liberal Organ. as well as the Liberal Temperance organ-l izat-ion.

Canada lMay Adopt British System

lsllecial to the Guardian) QTPAWA. April 4. - Government control of all radio broadcasting in Canada looms up as a strong possi- b11115’ 0f the future. They haw-l such a system in Great Britain and: it may come here before long. While‘ there has been no official decision as yet. it is known that such a. pro- position is being considered by those who have to do with radio. A great deal of trouble is being experienced owing to the fact that many people—a fast increasing number-we t to gointo the broad-l 0055118‘ busi ss. whereas the chan- nels of communication are very lim- itcd. Much conflict arises and com- plaints are very numerous as to re- ception being spoiled and other ldisagreenble conditions existing. In consequence of this it is learned that some interests securing new licenses. have been cautiously advis- ed not to make extensive financial committments lest, as a’ develop- ment of the near future the whole broadcasting business be taken over Iby the state.
