channels than we had anticipated in threshing out our difficulties with Canada, Mexico and Cuba.
On December 10, 1932, the International Radiotelegraph Conference at Madrid completed its work and adjourned. A new Convention and new Regulations were drawn up.
The European nations could not agree on a satisfactoryallocation table for Europe, the maritime nations attempting to curb the expansion of the broadcasting band proposed by the nonmaritime nations. The European nations decided to hold a regional conference in Switzerland to come to some agreement with respect to their broadcasting troubles. The European allocation table decided upon in the Madrid Conference augments the channels heretofore assigned to broadcasting, but the smaller non-maritime nations of Europe consider that this augmentation is not sufficient. The European broadcast situation is rather chaotic due to the multi¬ plicity of lingual and political subdivisions.
The world allocation table, drawn up at Madrid, remains practically the same as that formulated in the Washington Confer¬ ence, but the language used in framing the new regulations permits deviation thereforem through regional agreements. For this reason, the exact results to be expected in North America cannot be known until after the North American regional conference at Mexico City, where questions concerning the expansion of the broadcasting band in North America will be considered.
This proposed widening of the broadcasting band to embrace additional long waves for program services will be the big issue at Mexico City.
American broadcasters desire the band widened, and presumably so do the Canadian, Mexican and Cuban governments, but bitter opposition to surrendering any channels in the adjoining mobile band has arisen from military and maritime interests now using those channels.
The mobile band people are quite willing, if any of our frequencies ought to be surrendered to foreign countries, that they be those in the band of the program broadcasting stations. On the other hand, the program broadcasters say that instead of surrendering any of their frequencies, the band should be widened and the Navy and others should be obliged to give up some of their frequencies, all of which, it is alleged, are not used at the present time.
