VENEZUELA GROWS RADIO CONSCIOUS The recent establishment of broadcasting stations at several places in Venezuela has resulted in rapid development of radio activities in that country, according to a report received from Vice Consul Ben C. Mathews at La Guaira by the Department of Commerce. There are now about eight licensed broadcasting stations either in opera¬ tion or about to begin transmitting programs. Due to governmental restrictions with respect to broadcasting up to this time, the interest in radio has not been developed. In Venezuela, short wave reception is the most satisfactory for year-round' reception. Long wave reception cannot be relied upon for consistent service.
