In the places we have muss, particularly in Canada. the service ‘has not been altogether sat- isfactory.

which will be mutually satisfactory.

“There have been ways suggested by which broadcasting might be es- tablished, first by the establishment oi a group of stations by private enter-slide supported fiusncisllyby Government assistance; secondly by the establishment and operation o! stations by a Government-owned and financed company: and thirdly by the establishment and operation of stations ' by Provincial Governments.

There are problems in tho way. such as the questions of Provincial rights and dual language: but these problems are not insurmountable. The dual language problem, for in- stance. has been met and surmount-

ied in Belgium particularly. and we ‘do riot anticipate serious difficulty ‘in that respect. The greatest problem

will, be the finding of satisfactory material-Canadian material-to send over the air. In Western Can- ads, and particularly in British C01- urnbis, they are somewhat similarly situated tn the Maritime-s. and there are geographical and typographical difficulties in both these parts of the

This morning Messrsfl Sweeney and Jones conferred with RA A. C. Henry. Deputy Minister of Railways and Canals and they also had an interview with the heads or‘ the other departments interested. i

Certain clauses providing for safe-i guarding of navigation and lncluingi compensating works in the present‘ channel have been inserted in the. agreement. these having been insisted‘ upon by the government at the time; of the announcement of the original‘ approval of the general scheme, made‘ by Hon.

counlry over which we do not exer- cise any control. It is podslble. how- ever. that when the system i; qt“. lished, those difficulties will ~be in- vestigalted by scientific experts“ and you will be able to receive satisfac- tory Canadian programmes irrespec- tive of geographical location.

Importance of Right Start.

"Broadcasting. as it has frequently been stated. is in its infancy. I think it is important that Canada should make s. right start. because it is something that is going to cost some money to keep well in advance; and we cannot afford s system which would require to be scrapped to make way for furiher developments. We wish to adopt a. system st least as good as that of any other country."

In conclusion the chairman stated the Commission had gone abroad for the purpose of learning. similar- ly. their purpose here was to confer with the provincial authorities and to hear the view of the general pub- lic. The Commission had found

broadcasting exceptionally well or-‘

ganlzed in Great Bidtain and Germ- any. In France. the situation is now being studied by a -" mission. IN- erywhere. in fact. it was foimd that enquiries are being conducted under Government auspices for the purpose or organising broadcasting on s. na- tion-wide basis in the public inter- est.

Col. K. S. Rogers. called upon. then gave s COITJIQhOIiIiVC statement on behalf of the Island Radio Com- pany. He unhesitstingly recommend- ed the adoption of the first sugges- tion or s modification thereof. name- ly. "The establishment of one or more groups of stations. operated by private enterprise, in receipt oi s‘ subsidy from the Government." The! latter provision of course. rested with the Government.
