THE PLAY'S THE THING dlers taking a side entrance into the theatre, but they have been given recognition by a medium of news even younger than the movie. Here, too, it is the stockholder who is to blame. Not an aristocrat, but the men in charge of these great oracles. The Radio Corporation of America is the radio giant of the country.

We list only a few incidents in which reasonable objection to political or social progress was censored by the Radio Corporation or its relatives. April, 1926, station WEAF refused to permit Norman Thomas to speak on behalf of the United Parents Association because one paragraph of his speech which dealt with military training in high schools was considered "controversial matter." As a result of this refusal by the National Broadcasting Company, Station WMCA invited him to speak on "Freedom of the Air" and withdrew its invitation the morning of the day during which the speech was to be delivered. 183
