BikLLOTS AND BULLETS
"The radio is obviously one of the great new unifying and educational forces, which can be and should be one of the great factors in insuring the success of ballot governments the world over. If you do not believe in it because you fear its use by the demagogue and the propagandist, then you despair of the ultimate success of wide-spread ballot governments as such, and you can logically join one of the two world groups, the Soviets, and in somewhat lesser degree the Fascist!, which with Moslem fanaticism are just now exerting the last ounce of energy in them to push the world back along the path of progress up which it has painfully worked its way for four thousand years, back to the time when the Pharoah under the strategy of his prime minister, Joseph, became an absolute despot, owning all the property and all the people of Egypt. That kind of philosophy is, of course, repugnant to all the instincts and traditions of every free people. Farther, any talk of the loss of liberty through the monopolistic control of the ether at this time in the United States is too grotesque to need to be given more than a line in an address like this. Any high school boy knows that it would be very simple now, and increasingly easy as science moves on, to break such a monopoly if there ever appeared to be the slightest danger of its being created. The only exception would be the case of a government monopoly, maintained by bullets as in Russia. Monopolizing the air we breathe and monopolizing the ether are similar ideas, only possible by shooting breathers or broadcasters whom j^ou don't like."
(From a speech by Dr. R. A, Millikan of the California Institute of Technology before the National Advisory Co''jncil on Radio in Education, May 22, 1931.)
