"Tiie RMA Engineering Division has under formulation a plan of action which it will head. The aid of various organiza¬ tions who can help in this work will he enlisted. It is certain that many organizations now dabbling in the subject will welcome a definite program. Naturally a program of this sort is not spectacular in action, and it will be difficult to trace its results directly as the benefits will be gradual but sure. The publicity value of the embarkation of the manufacturers on such a program should be of considerable value. Interesting public news stories could follow the various phases of the organization of the program.
"The tentative program of the Engineering Divisions calls for an "Interference Conference" to be held in Rochester at the time of the Fall meeting of I.R.E.
"Depending upon the results obtained at' the first con¬ ference, it may be desirable to have a second conference, possibly six months from now. The fundamental idea back of the entire plan is that we feel that interference work should be centralized, and that RMA is the organization that should be effective in centralizing all interference activities.

Senator Capper I would like to ask Judge Sykes if this system of unified government regulation of wire and radio communication is in use in any other country?
Mr. Sykes Most countries, Senator, most all of the prin¬ cipal countries in the world, have one head of the department.
The government operates those things in a great many countries.
It is practically unified in all of the great nations over the world.
Senator Wheeler Most of the nations control them and own them, do they not?
Mr. Sykes. Yes, sir.
Senator Wheeler That is what we should have in this country,
