far enough to believe that it is eminently practicable, and that there are several ways in which it could be introduced and thus give an accurate demonstration of the validity of the plan. Our investigation leads us to believe that there will be practically no serious interference with the rights of present broadcasters. Our study of European conditions and plans leads us to believe that this combination which we suggest will give America the best system in the world, a system where the defects of one particular portion are counterbalanced and offset by the advantages in another part, and we ask you in behalf of the American listeners to give this proposal most serious consideration. We believe that you have before you and in your hands a resource more potent for the welfare of America than anything that has appeared since the establishment of printing. This resource is greater in its implications, in its reach, in its possible effect upon the information, the attitudes, and the judgments of the people, than even the press. We believe that the same principles which were adopted *y America in assuring the freedom of the press should be adopted in this new means of communication. ooooOooooo - 14 -
