Show RENDERING GREATER PUBLIC SERVICE Summarizing the progress that has been made in radio development, General James G. Harbord, president of the Radio Corporation of America, is a recent statement said: "Transoceanic broadcasting in short, the realization of international broadcasting for purposes of entertainment enter-tainment is not yet in regular operation, opera-tion, but proposalsfor increasing the power of sending stations so that programs pro-grams from London, Paris, and Berlin Ber-lin may be easier heard in - America are being carefully considered. When such a plan is put into, practice the value of broadcasting will he greatly increased and one more link of friendship and understanding will be forged between the old world and the new. "Radio sets now are bought ready-made, ready-made, just as one buys an automobile, a camera or a bicycle. One reason for this is the fact that radio is now universal in its appeal. Outwardly, at least, the modern radio receiver is no longer a complicated device requiring re-quiring the existence of an expert operator. It is, instead, an instrument instru-ment with control so simple that the veriest novice can operate it at first sight. "We are developing radio in the direction of service to be rendered, messages to be carried, voices to be heard, in ways not now possible by existing means in short, to make the lot of mankind easier and more simple." |
